I just bought a new Outcast, Fish Cat 9IR, (it's not my first pontoon) and I'm wondering, who else fishes from a pontoon?

 

I have been considering getting one. How do you like it?

I love it. It is a lot faster than my old one. Easier to row. I can even go upstream if the current isn't too strong. I couldn't do that with my old one.

I up graded the seat. Put a base on so that I could use a seat from my big boat. Very comfortable, much more stable than any kayak or canoe. I have a few back and knee issues which makes getting in and out of a canoe or kayak difficult. This is the same as getting out of any chair. I don't know how anybody could ever flip one of these over. The pontoons are also very tough. I've bumped into lots of rocks and trees and nothing has come close to puncturing one of the skins.

You can use a trolling motor if you're fishing lakes. A 30 pound thrust will move you at about 4 mph.

I don't carry tons of gear, but I could if I wanted to on this.
