posting this in boats as well:

After spending my youth fishing the lakes of nebraska, it has only recently dawned on me the amazing fishing around Los Angeles. I'm looking of taking that next step and getting a pontoon but have a few questions.

The entry model I'm looking at is:
Outcast Fish Cat Streamer XL- IR Pontoon Boat

First, is this any good? how dry does one stay in a boat like this if they row? I want something that keeps me dry enough that I can use it in the winter months. Target Bass in summer and Trout in winter. Mainly looking to take it out at the lagoon and jenks. But maybe even a lake like Piru.

Or do I need to suck it up and purchase a model like this:

Water Skeeterâ„¢ Chetco Pontoon Boat

My concern with something like this is it's too much boat and might be too heavy.

Also, what else is required as I hope to get out there soon!

Thanks

Hey How brant, i hear yeah, i'm also shopping for a toon, for me its cost, weight cap. and over all weight of the toon out of the water, i'm 6'5"-300lbs.
if $$$$$ was no object, i think i would go with the skeeter fishing guide toon, lite weight, large weight cap. and has a stand up casting deck.


check out cabela's and walmart, they have some deals right now.
