Well I just purchased my new to me pontoon after years of owning bass boats,. I wanted to get my kids more involved in fishing and boating. I put my toon in just to take to my boat slip rental and I couldn't resist dragging a worm across some humps on the way.  I had my little girls(ages 5 and 8) along with my nephew. I pulled up rigged up and on the first pass 3 cast BAM , Wasn't a big one but it was first fish on new boat.

On second pass we(myself and nephew) doubled up. Yep Mine was bigger

I caught 3 more then I tried to teach my oldest girl how to fish with a worm. Time spent was about hour and a half. Had to go turn in my boat information to the slip rental.. Waiting for this weekend to get back out there.

Very good.  I am still looking forward to fishing on my new to me pontoon, if I can ever get it ready.

That's what it's all about, isn't it?

Good luck this weekend.  We're taking our boat out for the maiden fishing voyage too. 

Question, are you able to throttle back the 75 horse enough to troll, or do you have to raise it some?

jall65,

Sounds like fun.  Just make sure you are ready to throw out the anchor if the motor won't start when you get to the Dam!

Love the avatar, by the way.
