I've heard that alum. is harder to tear up but being heavier; glass is better in chop. I.ve done well fishing trout in Mobile Bay, Al. ... But . the ride was rough ( 1-2' ) in 15 mph NE winds fishing out of a 21' Sailfish fiberglass. I wouldn't have wanted to have been in a lighter Alum. of the same size. But. what about the inland bays and deltas? Ant towing, I live 4 hours from the gulf and fish only in the "off" season. Own a small Heating and Cooling company, and only am only to fish a few days every couple of months.
