Sports Fishing On The BERTRAM!
Recreational fishing, also called sport fishing, is fishing for pleasure or competition. It can be contrasted with commercial fishing, which is fishing for profit, or subsistence fishing, which is fishing for survival. The most common form of recreational fishing is done with a rod, reel, line, hooks and any one of a wide range of baits. Other devices, commonly referred to as terminal tackle, are also used to affect or complement the presentation of the bait to the targeted fish. Some examples of terminal tackle include weights, floats, and swivels. Lures are frequently used in place of bait. Some hobbyists make handmade tackle themselves, including plastic lures and artificial flies. The practice of catching or attempting to catch fish with a hook is known as angling. When angling, it is sometimes expected or required that the fish be caught and released.
Big-game fishing is fishing from boats to catch large open-water species such as tuna, sharks and marlin.

All Bertram sports fishing yachts are faithful to the philosophy of providing true real world performance, durability and the best solid Deep-V ride period. In fact, all Bertram hull design is based upon the Deep-V. Many manufacturers have tried to emulate this design over the years but no one has ever matched the Bertram trim, balance and displacement that make for the famous Bertram water ride period. Today's Bertram is now more hydrodynamic below and more aerodynamic above. The rounded designs have created a dryer ride and a cleaner cockpit. Above the waterline a new styling has been embraced which delivers a shape that was designed to work. More functional bridge layouts and console arrangements combined with improved lines of site were key requisites for each new model, ranging in lenght from 39 to 67 feet.
