Thanks guys. Here in Wisconsin I need a 360 degree white light, visible for 2 miles.

Thanks

Don't you use a 360 degree light? Isn't that required?

What kind of lights do you use for fishing at night in your kayak? Is it store bought or DIY? How do you mount it? Thanks.

Thanks guys. As long as I stick to the big names listed above, I should be OK.

Thanks. I know new is not necessary, but used 1448 jons are hard to come by around me(my real home is in Wisconsin) !! I'm in no hurry, but like I said above, just in case I can't find a decent used 1448. Is there much difference in the quality and features of the new ones(Lowe, Lund, Alumacraft, etc)?

I'm looking to buy a flat bottom jon boat, 14' and a 48" floor. In case I can't find a decent used one, which brands offer a good value in a new one? I'm open to a square front or a modified-V front. Most of the lakes I fish are 300 acres or less, so I'm leaning toward the square front. If I buy a new one, I would also buy a trailer with it, if that matters, as far as the boat manufacturer goes. Thanks for any advice.

What is your budget ? Will you be fishing alone ?

Thanks all

Partly. It still has to be "secured against shifting".

This is how the law reads: "It is unlawful to operate a motorized vessel equipped with a storage battery unless the battery is secured against shifting. The battery must be equipped with nonconductive terminal shields to prevent accidental shorting. Both the positive and negative terminals must be covered. A covered battery box with a strap is best".

Nice setup. I never heard of a sand bass.

Yes, it's a state regulation. I need to check into it further. I don't have a canoe, but I may get one in the future.

Thanks guys. Here in Wisconsin a battery has to be secured properly.

Thanks. I guess it depends on the canoe. It seems like a lot of the canoes out there have no way to secure a battery.
