No where in your avatar of thread do you state the type of boat.
But, for the most part, it's a pain unless you want to make some kind of mount to your hull. The small or standard clip on, just don't have anywhere to put it. I use my Challenger for fishing, but pretty much have resolved to use a paddle when moving along the bank. If you are going to dedicate it for fishing and don't care about bolting up a trolling motor mount, then I don't see why you couldn't do it.
