What Boat Will Let Me Comfortably Fish Most of the Year in TX?

jvelvetpants asked:


I bought a 16.5 foot fiberglass bass boat in July. It was great in the summer, but I haven't been able to use it much since October because:
a) it is very uncomfortable to be in when the air temp is below 55
b) it bounces around really badly on the waves whenever the wind is 9 mph or higher (and I get soaked by the waves if I even try to go out on the lake)

I've been told that a longer bass boat (18.5 feet or longer) will be much smoother on the water. Is that true? Also, I have considered a fish & ski because most have a windshield that goes all the way across. I thought I might not get as wet and it might shield me better from the wind.

Any ideas? My main desire is to be able to do more fishing comfortably in colder and windier weather.
