Plans to build the 18' Bayou Jubilee Flats Fishing Boat

Bayou Jubilee Flats Fishing Boat

The Bayou Jubilee was designed for a customer who lives near the Gulf Coast of the US where there are countless lakes, rivers, and bayous filled with fish and other edible critters. These boats need to get into knee-deep water where the fish hide, operate quietly and efficiently be light enough to be practical, and yet stable enough to stand and cast or pole them through the weeds and muck. This one was designed to fit easily on the inexpensive, 4' wide trailers you can buy everywhere these days. The Bayou Jubilee will get up and fly with a small motor, like 25 horses or less and yet haul around four fishermen or a whole load of gear, fish or gators.

About Flats Fishing Boats

Flats fishing baots are designed for lakes, rivers, bays and bayous where a shallow draft boat is needed to navigate through a wide variety of shallow water conditions. They need to get up on a plane quickly and be able to pass through weedy and sometimes flotsam filled water areas. They also must be rugged to handle the occasional grounding or encounter with a submerged log or sandbar. Finally they must be stable to allow the occupants to stand to fish or see what is ahead. If those sound like the conditions you need to operate in, consider a flats fishing design as your next boat project.
