The trunk of a sedan is big enough to take a compact boat with you, if you opt for an inflatable version.

Fishing Tips and Tricks for Clear Waters
Here are some tips and tricks to help you catch more fish from clear water fisheries. These tips will get you "Tuned-in", regardless of the target species.

Many people who have been in the sport for years, and live in residences with large garages, have no issues with trailers and RVs, but they are a bit too much to handle for downtown types who are tight for living space. The compact boat format does bring many enthusiasts in to the sport that might have been excluded otherwise. A vacation in a new State or in a neighboring country puts a special premium on a compact boat. You can reach two or more distant parts of a single water body, or even move from one to another. Even brief interludes at legendary sites, or ones used by earlier generations, can convey values that only passionate anglers can fully appreciate. A compact boat also increases the number of trips an angler can enjoy by making short work of relatively long distances between residence and possible fishing sites. Points to Ponder Before You Invest in a Compact Boat Though it is entirely valid to set out on trips alone, building strong teams with others is a specific benefit of the hobby, which no regular angler should miss. A compact boat should not compromise any of the factors which distinguish the most memorable expeditions from others which are best forgotten. A sturdy hull and the quality of the frame are the two most important considerations to keep in mind when choosing a compact boat. It must accommodate a second seat, so that you never miss an opportunity for the invaluable company of a co-angler. Most inflatable models are too heavy to carry in comfort to and from water alone in any case. Besides, assembly and putting everything back in the carry bag are best done with the help of a companion. Vital emergency aids, something to drink, and flooring which lets you stand and fight with an aggressive fish, are all worth putting before and above mere size of any compact boat. Spaces for an aerated live well, a troll which is easy to deploy, and a fish finder, will all be worth their weights, and the compromises they may require in terms of portability, to add to your overall leisure quality and sporting experiences.
