As much as I liked float tube fishing on a great float tube, the Fat Cat; I wanted something else that can do more. I hated that I could only cover "so" much water on the float tube & I hated trying to deal w/ the wind, especially heading back to the boat landing. Last thing I hated are the leg cramps, those are a b*tch!
So, I've had my eye on the Outcast Streamer XL. It's not as heavy as other pontoon boats & not as long. It's stable at 8' long & 4' wide. I can either paddle or use the fins for propulsion. And if need be, I can mount a trolling motor...how cool is that??? I feel that I can cover more water on a pontoon boat also.
Yes, I do own a kayak. I love fishing on the kayak, it's easy. I originally bought the kayak for river fishing & do use it for lakes. It's much easier to get around than on a float tube, I can cover alot of water! I don't care so much that I drift passed the area I want to fish. But it's a pain in the *** to re-manuever my postioin. I either have to back paddle to that area or move off to another area. Also I am getting the dreaded kayak butt. That my cheeks go numb after some time sitting in the kayak, I even have a gel filled saddle to go on the paddeed seat. That helps keep my cheeks from hurting too soon.
So to have the best of both worlds, the pontoon boat seems to be the answer. I'll keep the kayak, since me & the family want to do this together...you see we also bought a tandem kayak.
Can't wait to "dress" up the Streamer XL.....
