Pontoon crappie fishing

[tnduxcaller]

Cane Pole, I remember several years ago, one of the winners of a Darwin Award(stupidest way to die) used a JATO, I thought it was spelled JADO. He strapped 2 of those to, I think, a 1964 Chevy Impala. He was going down one of those desert highways out west. He left the road with the brakes fully pushed in, with black marks like 1/8 of mile long and they just stopped and the officials found him squished high on a rock bluff. Car and all.

jet assist take off. big bottle rocket strapped to planes that need help taking off on short runways, heavy loads, etc.

I am very envious, wish I had a similar set up.

I've got a 22 ft bennington 4 point I picked up a few months ago ... I'm still waiting for millennium to make the square rail mount available so I can switch over my spyderloks (hint hint) like cwright. I really like the pontoon since I have two kids and the wife (potty comes in handy). Trolling motor up front, has a cheap finder currently but I'll put a Helix 7 DI on it I have lying around.. Shade, radio, room, 2 livewells, just makes it easier to fish sometime I also have a 12 v fan I bring if its hot. Cold they can bring a blanket and curl up on the bench while we fish.
If it's just me and one daughter or a buddy we take the bay boat out...

Orion if you pm Gene (on here as ez poleholder I think) he will probably make you the mounts like I had. They work great. Never have anything except spyderloks on my boats.

I would think the wind would cause more problems than anything. Fishing and loading on a trailer. I have problems holding a 20' glass Triton sometimes in the spring due to the wind.

Mine is an older boat late 70's just the kind I like (Paid For) ... I've bout got it set they way I want but still got a few more things to add like some light and things. Got the hard top + electric bimini top, privacy room. I pulled all the old furniture and gave me more seating room options I'm really found of my winter time fishing hatches that I put in the floor, just throw the Ice Hut on board and were ready to go all year. The only negative for my particular boat is it's a little slow top speed on a good day is 15-17 but it's pushing a 28 footer so if I ever upgrade the engine it would take care of that.

Mine had the platform out front like yours but I bought railings so my poles would be closer to the front

fishing hatches in the floor. What a unique idea. I could only one in the floor of mine, it is only a 20 fter. Electric bimini top? I'm jealous. My top is worn, I was thinking about replacing it with 1/2 enclosure. Now maybe I need to think electric since it will fold part way back and provide a sun shield.

I would if I lived on a lake. Under a canopy you'd stay cooler and you'd be up high so you could see good. Only con would be slower moving around and you couldn't lip the bass.

Since my boat has the hard top in back I put it on the front turned backwords it is really nice to drop down halfway and block the sun.
