Not out of a bass boat ... but I have plenty ... out of a Crappie boat(Crappie Jon Alumicraft)... just have to be careful not to tangle your line on stuff ...

Nothing like throwing a Whitlock deer hair next to a tree top and watch it inhaled !!

Just go ahead and take the chairs out and leave them at the house. Cleaner your deck of snags the better it will be.

This!! Keep your deck clear and throw a blanket over your trolling motor. Always check your loose or spoil line on the deck. Bass aren't so bad on long runs like a striper or a bull red, but always be prepared to kick the spoil over the side so it can clear without loop.

If you want real fun chase bulls in a SOT yak with flies. They'll hit anything a bass will when they are on the feed.

Stripping basket is an absolute necessity. Otherwise the line will tangled all around your feet, seat and anything on the deck.

Another piece of advice would be to SLOW DOWN your troll. You can get 3 casts and retrieves from a baitcaster in the time it takes you to get 1 cast and retrieve from a fly rod. You're asking to miss a lot of good water if you try to troll the same as you would with baitcasting or spinning gear.
