small ponds , rivers, inland salt water
Question:
Don’t know a lot about jon boats, even though I have fished from quite a few that belowed to someone else. But, if you are planning to also use it for shrimping, I would suggests you would want something with a good platform at the bow and stern and one wide enough to give you a stable platform. And if you plan to take it in tidal water, you would be well advised to contact a marina in the Charleston/Savannah area for advice. A lot of fresh water gear, including boats, motors and trolling motors, don’t do well in salt water! And I think you might want to consider getting a slightly larger motor as tidal currents can be quite strong. — Go fishing. And may your fish be as big as your tales! Columbia SC, Lake Murray

I am just getting back to fresh water fishing, with no desire for the big lakes around Atlanta. What sized jon boat and motor would you suggest for two or three people? Is there a name brand to look for? What type motor in the 5-10 hp area? It will go to Charleston, S.C., for oysters, shrimping, creek fishing, and duck hunting, several times a year. Thanks.
