Default Fishing 4 bodies on a 20 footer

How many do you typically go fishing with in the 20? I've been offshore with 3 no problem and have contemplated taking a 4th. Thoughts?

Default Re: Fishing 4 bodies on a 20 footer

I usually have 3 on my 20', the only times I take 4 is when the 4th is somebody's 10 year old son. Off east central Florida, we run a minimum of 15 miles offshore, 4 grown adults is just too crowded and too much of a load for being that far from shore.

4 is as much as I will go, but not comfortably. I like me a buddy at most when I fish. I will tell that 4th person to catch me next time I go.

Which is why the 23 is coming online for 2008.

man I think 4 is too many on my 23- and actually prefer 2. but with the price of fuel 3 is helping a little. I think 4 would be waaaay to many on a 20 personaly, but some of my friends only take baths once a month. I fished 3 casting for trout yesterday and with gear and such 3 again is ok but 4 would have been crowded.(on my 23)
