Bimini Top Enclosure Help

[FISHINGFARMER]

Just ordered a bimini top for our boat. Was eventually through the winter wanting to add side curtains and either a front or rear curtain or most likely both.

Its a 16ft Lund tiller model. Any suggestions on how to make it a more "fishable" boat after curtains are on would be great. Just wanted to cut the cold spring/fall wind down. 

Seen one with side zippers in the arch of the frame that looks like it might be a good idea.

Any pics of your boat with one already on it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Farmer

I have a bimini for my Lund 1800 tiller.  I like it for shade and rain relief but it is a pain to fish with it on.  If I am jigging I have to remove the back strap by me to get any hook sets.  That works OK as long as there is no wind as with wind the bimini will "fold" up somewhat.  I usually just put my rain gear on and fish in the rain that way.
