Took the wife, stepdaughter and 2 friends up to Causey Saturday for some fishing, float tubing and pontooning. I got more fishing in then last Sunday as the wife and stepdaughter were good to go in there float tubes this time. First time in my pontoon but it was almost like my drift boat days once I got on the oars it was just like riding a bike, you don't forget. Had some problem with the boat tracking straight so next time I will have to pay attention to pontoon position and air pressure. I liked the ride so much and the wife was impressed last night I picked her up a 8 foot Scadden Montana pontoon boat off the local classifieds.

The wind came up and guess who got to tow the tubes back in. I had to keep remind them that they could kick a little to.

Looking good! All new tooners need to remember, it is easier to go backwards, put your feet on the bars, and one arm will be stronger than the other.
You are ahead of the game with D.B. experience.


Next you can put longer center bars and two seats side by side on that Montana so, mom and daughter can fish together.

[#0000ff]The fun part comes when you are all properly set up and the operation is natural and automatic. Then you can focus on fishing.[/#0000ff]
