I fish out of a Pantera II (19 ft boat), our club is individual and I usually have a buddy fish out of the back. I prefer he stays in the back, as I feel it crowds me up front. If we were fishing team format, I could see it being beneficial, depending on how we are fishing though.

because you can not have the boat setup in the ideal position and satisfy both front and back positions. Most likely, one of them will have way less targets to cast too.. often it is the back. There is a term for when the boater does this.. it's called front ending. With 2 experienced fisherman, it's a lot more fair and sometimes more fun to share the experience in the front. That's the reason why. Do what you want, and quit worrying about what the others are doing and you'll be fine

I was sharing the back of my boat last weekend. Spot lock and wind made the back the better place to be for long Carolina rig casts. The rear deck is small on every boat. Not a lot of room. But, a right handed casting guy and a left handed casting guy made it work.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

When someone is in the boat with me I always tell them they can fish up front with me or in the back. It doesn't make me any difference at all. The younger guys tend to want to be up front while the older guys like the idea of the back seat and being able to sit down. As long as you both work well together its a non-issue either way.
When I am in someone elses boat I just ask where they want me to fish. If they dont care where I fish I will usually spend about half the time up front and the other half in the back. No real reason for it......its just the way it usually works.

Why do so many people fish two off front deck and leave the back empty? Anymore it seems they are probably fighting for air time on the go-pro.

If we are bed fishn between docks its ok but other than that I want them in the back. 2 reasons. 1-I like to sweep my hookset most of the time and I don't want to cross their eyes. 2-I am worried about where they are standing [on my rods] even though I told them you can come up front just don't stepp on my rods.

Here in Arizona many of our lakes are deep and steep. Some places three feet from the bank can be 50+ feet deep. When the fish are holding against the walls you need to position the boat tight to the bank and make long casts parallel to the bank. Hard to do if you stay in the back of the boat.

It all depends on how we are fishing. Going down a bank I prefer them to be in the back as we can get different angles on targets. Fishing offshore spot specific it's easier if we are both up front.

Depends on boat positioning. Sometimes, especially when pitching, it makes more sense for both guys to be up front. You aren't working the rod much and sometimes the wind makes boat positioning a little screwy. Now, 2 guys up front bombing crankbaits with 8' rods in open water? Dumb.

I'm dangerous enough to my partner from the back deck. To easy to hook or get hooked, or get in the way of a hook set standing next to each other. Sometimes you get a different angle on the back. I understand the control in the wind is not always what I would like it to be. Space is more important to me. Unless I can't be back there, I'm back there

I can't stand anyone on my back deck. If you fish with you will be up front with me. Always
