Fishing pontoons have enjoyed great success since they became something of a phenomenon back in the 90s, and there are many models to choose from for your still water fishing expeditions. And they needn't cost the earth, either! Even new you can get an excellent 8-foot fishing pontoon with many accessories and a comfortable seat for only a few hundred dollars. So why are these agile watercraft so popular? Well, for a start, they are very agile! This is largely due to the rocker-shape of the pontoons. Other than, say, catarafts, fishing pontoons have less of the tube in the water per foot of tube - and therefore less resistance. Less resistance means it becomes possible to turn in a tight circle, getting the fisherman quickly into the right spot for the action going on below! This maneuverability also makes it easy to navigate the river runs you'll be making from hole to hole. And of course, sitting high in your comfortable seat gives you an excellent view of your surroundings and where you're heading. Where can you go in your fishing pontoon? These craft are primarily designed for still water; that is inland lakes and slow-moving rivers. You will definitely want to avoid whitewater situations! Even the larger, more stable 12 foot pontoons are not designed for fast-water rafting. For that you will need to look at catarafts or similar. And when it comes to getting to the river and back, most of these craft can be loaded and transported with ease on roof racks or in a pickup or SUV. An inflatable folding cat is even more compact and can be transported in a smaller vehicle and inflated at your destination. So if you're aiming for some quiet, sit-down fishing on your own or with a buddy - and you don't want to break the bank - an agile fishing pontoon is an option worth considering.
