Hey guys... Long time reader first time poster!
I've been a field and marsh guy most of my hunting career but d/t a recent move and limited property to hunt I picked up a boat for open water hunting. It's a 18' starcraft with a 90hp outboard and side counsel, gutted with decoy shelves and open floor and custom aluminum spray shield/blind. I'll post a pic as soon as I can.
My question is what kind of success can I plan on having hunting directly out of the 18' starcraft. I don't know if I need to or want to invest in a layout boat simply because I'll be hunting usually with only one other person. My hunting will be taking place on the bay of Green Bay, Lake Winnebago, and pool 9 in the Mississippi.
