Post by: urnmor on June 07, 2018, 10:31:41 PM: No fishing just cruising the area

Pontoons are comfortable and fun but they're not a good choice for fishing. It's difficult to properly hold a position over fish-holding structure.

Post by: Bentley on June 09, 2018, 02:22:58 PM: I will respectfully disagree...and it might be the type of fishing. My friend has one and we would troll for trout and kokanee, and it worked well in the Delta for Salmon...Now Bass and casting type fishing, maybe not so good!

Post by: pmillen on June 09, 2018, 04:50:18 PM: Yep, that's the difference. But even when trolling they present a huge frontal area to the wind and are slow to respond to the helm so precise trolling along irregular structure is almost impossible.

Post by: Bentley on June 09, 2018, 05:09:02 PM: We use downriggers! And we were always on reservoirs or as I said the delta, so it was 2 miles an hour and pretty much straight. Not much wind most of the time! And yes, it was all about comfort and stability!

Post by: urnmor on June 09, 2018, 05:18:14 PM: Not sure how old you are however I bought my first jet boat last year at 73. I was tired of putting around in my pontoon boat so got something with a little speed. It will hit close to fifty MPH.

Post by: Bentley on June 09, 2018, 05:21:55 PM: If I lived on, or even a reasonable distance from a good sized body of water I would have one. But having to take it out, launch it, load it up, drive it home...just not realistic for me!
