fiberglass boats are cool but you cant slam them around like a aluminum hull ... i already hit a few stumps in the swamps getting to the good fishing hehe
 
^^^^ i would too
 
It's not pleasant. Shore fishing blows. I hate fishing on the shore in public places and people walking past and stopping and asking me what i am doing, and saying "catch anything?", or "there are fish in there?". Listen, i love talking to people, but i like to "get away from it all" when I fish, with shore fishing you cant do that.
 
agreed ^^ for the most part

I'm completely beside myself on how narcissistic and negative you are on the aspect of you and fishing. I know it sucks, but guess what so does life sometimes. I've died twice, qualified for 100% disability and I will not take it. I work a hard physical labor job because I'm not a pussy. Most people see a huge obstacle and either bend over and take it or they give up a lot like you are doing. I say challenge accepted. You want to do something, work for it, earn it, live it, breathe it and be better.

There are so many ways that you can achieve what you need to go fishing instead of shore fishing. We all know that can't happen over night, and takes a lot of work, and until then you do what you should be doing. Innovating yourself and where and how you can fish without your troubles and being bothered. You have time and energy to spend on crying about how you're boatless and nearly refuse to shore fish but you won't devote that to anything else. Have you tried to see if there's any fishing clubs near you? There are people that are constantly looking for people to fish with. I know I was and found such a club here locally. Because I cannot take my bass boat out alone.

It's a flipping simple idea, don't like people bugging you? Put earphones in with nothing attached, and ignore them. Hell you can even listen to music too.

I grew up starting to fish from 10 with my grandfather to my buddies that lived on lakes and had jon boats until I was 15. Then no more buddies (and no more grandfather) and I was forced to not fish, or fish from shore. I strived to be better and caught more and bigger fish, and learned many more things from shore than a boat. I finally was able to afford getting myself a boat 4 years ago. Had to sell the first one, and was without a boat again for 6 months. I was still fishing from shore every weekend.

I mean dude, I've had to relearn everything. And I mean everything. From feeding myself with a different hand, to wiping the poo off my butt, to fishing, to everything. I earn 26k a year, and I experience pain on levels that most I hope will never understand. But I have a house, a boat, a truck, 2 dogs, 2 fish tanks and I have a wonderful woman to call my fiance.

I've seen more than just me tell you with 100% certainty that you can tow a jon boat with your civic. I've done it myself. I've even witnessed him tow it with a geo metro after his civic died. And you can find jon boats with gas motors for under $2000. Don't have it now? Well no kidding, not many people have 2k just to go blow like it's no big deal. That's why you save and you work your butt off to get what you want.
