Any one using one? Had mine since last year and still having logistical problems. Trying to row, forward or backward, in a relatively straight line. Haven't figured out the best way to hang onto the pole while rowing. Just have net apron in front and back and zipper pouch on side to hold tackle--keep dropping tackle in the water. Like to have some comments as to how y'all do stuff in your pontoon.
Had a wild thought: Wonder if my big umbrella could function as a sail?

i have one and to be honest i don't row that much, i normally just use my fins. The only time i do row is when its windy and then i still use my fins to keep it going straighter....
The best thing for your rods is to build out of pvc pipe some rod holders, i put mine behind me but its a liitle tough to turn around so i am doing a redo so i can put them on the sides. Also, purchase one of those tube rod holders with the strap so you can strap it to the pontoon infront of you for quick release so to speak.
Tackle, well thats tricky, i luckely found and old tackle box that had removable trays with lids that is exaclty the same size as the pouches..
I pmd you with a website that i got alot of resources from...

Can't gtet the website to load, computer can't find it. I'm thinking of just attaching a square of marine plywood behind the seat across the tube frame. That will give me something solid to fix a rod holder too.

Do an image search for "KICKBOATS" and you will see photos of customized pontoons....

Just had a better idea. Gonna order a Popiel Pocket fisherman with sotrage for lures hooks sinkers bobbers and worms right in the handle. I can just put the whole kit and kaboodle right there in my pocket and row around without any tnteference.
