Fishing in a Pontoon Boat

Re: Fishing in a Pontoon Boat

I bought an older 20ft. pontoon and moved the rear furniture forward which allowed be to mount 2 fishing seats in the back, Works GREAT. I have fishing seats in all 4 corners and with removable posts I also made up a mount for a small BBQ that pops in the seat mount. A 20 footer is perfect size for smaller family and does OK with 4 adults and 3 kids but is kinda cramped for fishing (Mine only has a 8x17 deck). I didn't think I would like a pontoon but now my 16' fishing boat just sits behind the garage. I also did the same "cooler" livewell setup that someone else showed above.

Feel free to start a new post and stick around and see if you can help others with what you learn on the water.

Poke around in the iboats store, I have seen kits that let you do that and they include everything you need, if you can't find it here then i knwo I have sen them in Cabellas.
