If you were going to buy a bass boat for up to $7,000, what would you look for in a used boat. Mfg. Model length width motor other considerations

For me, it's sitting in the boat in the early morning with the mist rising off the glass smooth lake with the sun rising but not yet clearing the mountain top and the only sounds you hear are the insects, frogs, and birds. I've cast a topwater plug and am letting it sit. As I'm enjoying, and am absorbed in, the beauty, tranquility, and peace surrounding me, a bass erupts out of the water and engulfs my plug dang near scaring me out of the boat. That's the sound and cirumstances I like best.

Being brand new to the sport, I don't really know any of the old timers. I do enjoy Mike Mike Iaconelli. I find his antics to be fun. I don't know how I feel fishing next to him for four days. I also like KVD. He seems like he is very knowledgeable about the sport. I also like any fisherman who kisses the fish he catches.

Hi, I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area and did most of my fishing for Trout in Northern California with some fishing in Nevada. I also did some fly fishing for Largemouth Bass in local lakes and reservoirs. We fished San Francisco Bay and the Delta for Stripers, and when they were running Shad in the American River. Although I have fly fished, on and off, for 35 years, bait and spin casting is new to me. I am a real beginner at this type of fishing. I'm reading everything I can find on the web, have four videos, read BassMaster cover to cover, and signed up yesterday for Bassin' because of recommendations on this board. I also get Gary Yamamoto's WEEKLY NEWS Magazine. So in a few years, I should have some idea of what I'm doing at the butt end of a Bass rod.

I have fly fished most of my adult life. Now that I live in Southeast Texas, I'd like to take up Bass fishing. I have 2 KVD videos and a couple of others. I see that that there are a number of different casting techniques. The side arm underhand roll cast, flippin casts, overhand cast etc. The problem I'm having is that none of the videos tell you the mechanics of making these casts. In fly fishing there are many "how to cast a fly line" videos. I haven't been able to find any videos on how to spin cast or bait cast. Do any of you know of any instruction videos for spin casting or bait casting? If so, where might I buy them? I've checked Google, Bass Pro Shop, and Cabelas. Thanks
