Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

A compact, powerful skiff built for bass

The 15' Smokercraft hull paired with a 45HP outboard and console steering delivers the speed and control to reach Tenmile Lakes’ best holes; the rental also comes with required safety equipment.

THE GEAR

Electronics and a stealth motor for precision fishing

A bow trolling motor lets you approach fishing holes quietly and a fish finder helps locate structure and fish-holding water—tools tailored to finding largemouth bass.

THE TARGET

Tenmile Lakes’ trophy large mouth bass

The package is built around one goal: getting anglers into the holes where Tenmile Lakes’ large mouth bass concentrate, increasing your chances for memorable catches.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

This rental is a direct, workmanlike fishing day: a quick run under power to proven spots on Tenmile Lakes, then a quieter, tactical phase using the bow trolling motor and fish finder to sneak up on largemouth bass. The boat’s live well and onboard systems keep the focus on fishing rather than logistics.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should reconsider.

1
Two-person angling teamsAn ideal match: the boat’s capacity and systems suit pairs who want speed to spots and the tools to fish effectively together.
2
Solo anglersWell suited—plenty of room for a solo angler plus gear while staying within the 600 lb capacity, making for efficient, single-operator fishing days.
3
Small groups (3 people)Possible but constrained: the boat can carry up to 2–3 people, but total weight must not exceed 600 lbs—plan gear and passenger loads accordingly.
4
Families with young children or heavy gearLess ideal: the passenger and weight limits mean families with multiple adults, children and lots of equipment should consider a larger craft.
