I usually had really good luck fishing but on a pontoon boat I had bad luck. My brother got a huge bass catfishing on a Nightcrawler while I was using lures. That pissed me off so bad. I only caught juvenile bass & cropie. He lands a 16lb'er catfishing.
Wanted to find out what a "poontoon" is. Advantages and disadvantages like anything else. When a vhull comes down hard is quite different. And consider the tall flat side you're putting up against the wind. It's easy to put a little potty room and/or roof on a toon but guess why it's rarely done. One time at a windy boat ramp and you'll weigh out your decision.
Have a 20 ft Bennington w/ 4 fishing cap. Chairs in the 4 corners, plus a lounge in the middle. Fridge, sink, stero.. Handles every water conditions w/ ease, b it lake or river. Will travel through 12" of water. A 110hp moves it right along.. Had this setup 4 over 15 yrs! Love it! Would not go back 2 my past Lund bass boat setup, for anything. Pontoons are the only way to go! 4 a all day, all night affair
big engines on toons are big gas burners though, ok now but at $4 a gallon not so good I got a 6o hp a boat with a 115 be ok but much bigger and at 25 mph it is 10 gph big motors even higher

These boat may be good for lakes but I go between 15 and 30 miles offshore fishing and I want to know are an good on the open ocean
Never try it
Yes on calm Days. Same as a small center console.
Yea fishing for a toon is ideal for a river. But that’s ideal, what about on lakes on a breezy day or even a windy day?
Of course it may drift more than a mod-v bass boat but we’ve anchored down and loved it
G3 Sportsman how’d you know I have a mod-v bass boat? Also what about spot lock? Would it do any good?
I didn’t know but yes, spot lock works really well

The down fall is how much wind they catch.
I hear ya. Theres always a trade off. Sure is comfy though

Do they have power steering like a car?
Yes you can get P/S
👍👍
f**k i want to get mine in the water so bad
You fish with yours
Pontoon is actually the best fishing floating platform, and they dont collect water anywhere
