Yet another newbie.
While most of my fishing has been throwing flies on rivers and streams here in Colorado, I've finally become crazy while bushwhacking the edges of lakes/ponds/reservoirs watching tubers lounging around and catching most of the fish.
Accordingly, I've been snooping around looking for the best solution (pontoons vs vboats vs uboats vs doughnuts etc), and I've come to the tentative conclusion that the best all-around bang for the buck is the Fish Cat 4, on the theory that I'd sit up fairly high (nice for fly casting and keeping my ample posterior warmer), move well on the water, and it fits in a vehicle and is light enough to carry.
I was lucky enough to happen upon this forum, and I'd be very grateful if you folks could let me know if the Fish Cat 4 is the best bang-for-the-buck solution. I'll be using force fins (got 'em cheap) over wading shoes, so I can get out now and then to wade.
