If you’re a good fisherman you’ll catch fish out of a tiller,if you’re a good fisherman you’ll catch fish out of a console. It’s personal preference. Neither one will make you better. Only you will make you better. I prefer a tiller.
I prefer tiller but as others have said either will catch fish.
The way I looked at it was most of the time I’m out im fishing. I only spend 5 percent or so of the day driving to spots etc. So I was willing to sacrifice a better ride/comfort for what I spend most of the time doing – fishing.
But if you’re fishing big water, bring family a lot then I could definitely see consoles advantages.
I’ve had both also. I run an electric start tiller now and probably always will. For river fishing it is the way Id go because the steering is so quick incase you see a dead head just in the nick of time, steering from a console is a little slower turning the motor but not that much, but a tiller is quicker.
If a guy has all his fishing equipment within arms reach with a tiller, he doesn’t have to move much except to drop or pull up an anchor. With a tiller you can turn on a dime if need be. Plus if a guy needs to pull his motor up to get over a log, shallow water or something your right by the motor. Put in a comfortable seat with arm rests and a beverage cooler with the bait tank close by and its comfortable fishing.
