Below we cover some of our favorite fishing boat accessories. If you are in the market for a fishing boat, check out the selection at Boat Country. Our dealership is based in Everett, Washington.

A Fish Finder

A fish finder is an important tool for any fishing boat. This device can detect fish in the water, then display information on the screen so you can easily find the fish.

Many modern fish finders also include GPS capabilities, which can be helpful for finding your way back to a good fishing spot.

A Livewell

A livewell is a tank that stores live fish. It aerates and circulates water to keep any catches alive and healthy while you continue fishing.

A general rule is to have about one gallon of water for every inch of fish. Make sure you choose a livewell that suits the types and amount of fish that you catch.

A Baitwell

A baitwell is a tank that is used to store live bait. Using live bait can help increase your chances of success, making a baitwell a valuable addition to a fishing boat.

A Rod Holder

A rod holder is a device that holds a fishing rod in place. This can be helpful if you need to take a break or if you want to fish with multiple rods at once. 

Rod holders are available in many different styles, so be sure to choose one that will work well with your fishing boat.

A Depth Finder

A depth finder is a device that measures the depth of water. This can be helpful in a few different ways.

First, a depth finder can help you avoid taking your fishing boat somewhere where the waters are too shallow and you risk running aground.

Second, a depth finder can help you find the best place to situate your fishing boat. If you're searching for a species that prefers the murky depths, for example, you can use a depth finder to find a place where the water is deep enough for that given species. 

Fishing Boat Cover

A fishing boat cover offers valuable protection from the elements. It can keep UV rays from fading your vessel's paint job, keep rain from causing water damage, and so on.
