When your family needs a boat that does it all, a Fish & Ski model is the perfect all-purpose tool. They’re designed to match the requirements for every watersports activity from fishing… to skiing… to cruising. Their quick-planing V-Tech™ hulls deliver all the performance you demand. With cockpit side ski or wake board storage, roomy in-deck dry storage boxes and a Jensen® stereo, just bring on the glassy water! And, for even more on-water fun, add special watersports options like a stowable ski pylon, swim platform with ladder, or Sirius® satellite radio, and you have the ideal watersports boat. From small lakes to big impoundments, from crappie to muskie, they also offer all the fishing features serious anglers need. Their extra-wide decks feature tournament-class forward & aft livewells (FS185 & FS175), large in-deck compartments and roomy, raised casting decks - all standard. Customize your boat for truly serious fishing with optional features like a vinyl floor, trolling motor, fish locator, downrigger mounts, folding top or full enclosure, and your FS is as fish-ready as they get.
Smallmouth Bass - This aggressive fish strikes many lures and live baits while delivering a dogged, high-leaping battle when hooked. Since they fare well in moderate climates coast to coast, and inhabit a variety of lakes and rivers, you need a variety of fishing methods to catch them consistently. In lakes, look for the smallmouth near gravel bars, weedbeds and near drop-offs.
- Lipped Crankbait - Switch lure size & lip type to run at varied depths. Retrieve at various speeds.
- Jig w/ Spinner & a Paddle-Tail Grub - An irresistable combo on smallmouth bass. The blade produces a flash while the grub gives a tantalizing vibration.
- Jig & Plastic Tube - Retrieve with hops and pauses at bottom imitating baitfish or crayfish.
- Topwater Bait - Produces a splash and buzzing sound that drives fish crazy.
