I would like to hear other's opinion also. When I fish in the middle, people from the back catches big fishes.

 

But when I am in the stern, the bow seems to catch more and bigger fishes....

 

And when I try to get to the bow, people won't let me in.. :(:mad:

Perhaps we should discuss personal grooming.

It depends on what we are targeting. Fluke for example I like to be in the stern, Tog, (or any species where you are anchored) I believe it's better in the bow, less sway when you are anchored up unless of course it's insanely windy in which case being in the stern with the cabin blocking the wind has it's advantages though those advantages would be more for comfort than for anything else.

I prefer the port side toward the bow, just seems to work better for me. used to be a stern fisherman for years and did well there also. a good fisherman will usually catch fish wherever he fishes. what makes a good fisherman?

Some boats offer good breathing room in the back and when its windy could offer relief - some believe the front sides is where the actions at but its usually tight with no elbow room and gets too cold late in the season. I often fish with my old man and that dude needs "space"...

 

For fluke fishing Ive always liked the back but for toggin, I've caught them all areas - key is to beat Michael Corrleon & his henchman to the boat: I'm fine right there. Also now that Spig has gone surf" will definitely open up a spot and allow 10 minute snooze
