Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

Want feedback on Glyde-Ryde seats from anglers who have owned them!

I have seen a seating option for Bass & Walleye boats;
http://www.glyde-ryde.com/

I want to hear from people who have had them on their boats and how it compared it to other seating options out there.Boat manufacturers have started to take notice of anglers needs and have started to make better seating options available.I am looking
at Ranger's Multi-Species boat and wanted to know if any other manufacturers offered other seating options that were better than
those that come on the boats from the factory (i have had back surgery before) and i saw this one mentioned before.Thank you in advance! ;)

I've sat on several versions of the alternate seats. I believe since Ranger came out with the Soft Ride Seats (SRS), the improvement was enough to override the desire for many to put in the various alternative seats.

I remember one of the alternatives could bottom out for sturdy guys like me if you didn't adjust it up (that hurts) and some were limited around 250 pounds. I seem to remember being on the Glyde Ryde in someone's boat in the last couple of years - having only the one experience, all I remember was feeling like I was all over the place rather than firmly in the boat. I think it would probably just take a little getting used to.

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.
