Fishing Boats
Pontoon Fishing Boats popular in recent
years, these boats allow one or two fishermen to get into small rivers
or lakes that would be off limits to larger boats. Typically 8-12 ft
in length, these inflatable craft can be assembled quickly and easily.
Some feature rigid frames derived from the white water rafting industry.
The earliest fishing boats were probably of similar form to the coracle,
and not intended for use any great distance from the shoreline. A trawler
is a fishing boat designed to use trawl nets in order to catch large
volumes of fish.
These fishing vessels are
often privately operated and host 'fishing trips', their size can range
widely depending on the type of trips run and geographical location.
