6/7/8 weight rods are more suited for fishing big streamers.

This is a picture of my old Fat Cat with the first iteration of the Rubbermaid tray. I have since refined it for use on my...

I have an Outcast Fat Cat and a Wood River Glide Rider (no longer made) The Glide Rider is wonderfully light and portable but most of my tubing is done with the Fat Cat. I feel lost without the wet...

Check the Dollar Stores. They sometimes sell a cheap boa made in China. I have lots of Bernat boa in various colours but no yellow so when I saw this skein of yellow in the dollar store I picked it...

I have carried my yaks on my vehicle for many years. Twisting the straps is absolutely mandatory and I never tie down without twisting. Once in a while you need to stop and adjust your twist if you...

Sospenders and other CO2 activated PFD's may be convenient but I wouldn't want to trust my life to one.

Marty,

I have an Outcast Fish Cat 10 IR pontoon. I have a piece of plywood that I span my frame with and tuck under the seat. It goes into the space in front of me and tucks far enough under the...

Don't forget about it. Save another hundred and get this.

You will not be sorry. I have one more than 10 years old still going...

Best advice given. Forget Pelican; the only thing it's got going for it is the price. Invest a little more if you are serious about yakfishing.

Especially if you plan to fish rivers, sit on top...

Amen to that Joe. I could catch 10 inch gills all day long on my 3 weight and a little yellow foam spider. I need to find another good place to target them as they deemed the fish inedible in my...

Good site!

Joni,

I thought your boat was yellow. Does the red one belong to your husband?
The frame is definitely unique. Thanks for posting that picture. With that frame you could mount a big platform and...

Joni,

Are the retractable casting platforms on N.F.O. boats not mounted lower than the rest of the frame? I just assumed they would be because of the centre of gravity issue.

As I have always stood in my canoe whenever the situation called for it and have never gone for a swim, I can't see having a problem standing on my pontoon. It's about five feet wide. I've actually...

You're right! It's a nice picture. Case closed!

Well said Joe, that's exactly the perspective I was working from in my responses.

God Bless,

Point is the guy in the creek company photo is in a pontoon not a tube and he is not foolishly attempting to fish while "wailing"...

Joni.

I think you're right there are many manufacturers flogging their products in a "wow. look what we can" do kind of way. I just think that self-powered vessels like "toons", tubes, kayaks...

Some more interesting thoughts on pontoon capabilities.

Most of the reponses generated on this thread were from "common sense" influencing the respondents to suggest this would not be a good thing to do. Now if someone with Dave's experience is able...

I can't see how watching a guy ride a big powerful motorcycle with no helmet (death wish?) and rowing like hell to stand still at the bottom of a ledge in one of his latest products would inspire you...

From browsing the Internet I have discovered that users of Force Fins either swear by them or swear at them. After hearing the negatives I would hesitate mightily before buying an expensive item like...

I use my Outcast Fish Cat 10 IR in all those conditions. It is an excellent pontoon. I can't believe how well it responds to finning and it rows about as fast as I can paddle my kayak. The only water...

I wish tubes and toons were around when I was in my twenties. Up here in Eastern Canada there was nothing available.(I understand that tubes were invented in the western states.) I used to fish from...

The electric is a real blessing for folks who need it. At 61 years young i'm hoping to avoid it a little longer.
