The biggest advantage to having both up front is boat position. You only have to worry about putting the front end somewhere, it is a lot easier in the wind. If my partner is up front I do not worry as much about making sure he has water to fish.

My father & I fight about who gets to sit in the back (the preferred location). the back seat can spend more time fishing than the front having to work the TM & all. Can't tell you how many times I have been out fished & done the out fishing from the back of the boat. My family has no issues with throwing to targets in front of the boat from the back deck.......thus getting the best of both worlds. how does running the TM interfere with fishing? Im far from being a TM expert but it can be a chore if you have more than a couple of things to worry about at the same time. ( wind, shoreline, rocks, stumps etc.)

I will fish back of boat when a passenger. I will let passenger come on front deck when flipping in my boat but that's it. My casting is main reason on other techniques. I am a side arm and roll caster. Not much of big deal throwing from starboard side but definite no go throwing from port. I know the simple solution is trade spots and let passenger run TM but the guys I fish with can't operate TM worth a darn.

Now I will swop places with my partner if I catch a fish and want to maintain boat position in the wind or to the structure. If my partner is flipping and he's good stick more than likely I'm going to be fishing something different. Only time he and I would be fishing the same lure is if we're smackin'um. My skeeter has a large front deck but sometimes I'm bad about laying rods all over the deck and don't like thinking of my partner fighting a good fish and tip toeing through my rods. Front back for me, if he knows the lake better than me I have no problem letting him run the tm or the boat.

When my brother and I fish tournaments in his boat I let him take the front so he can hit the good spots and catch the kicker , plus he front ends me all day anyway , he is also bigger and younger than I am . When I'm in my boat I'm up front all the time , I fish by myself .
