This is a view on the pontoon boat from near the rear looking forward. The plastic tackle box on the bench is mine, and the brown metal one on the deck is Dads.

We tried to work mostly along the shoreline, that is why you see the docks in the background. The pontoon boat made it very easy to do that. We would just get into position up-wind and cut the engine. We would fish as we drifted along. When we were about to blow into something we would just pull up our lines, turn the ignition key, and motor back up wind or go try a different spot on the lake. We also tried anchoring in a couple of spots too.

Notice all of the bench space and floor room? Very comfortable. Sheri and I definitely plan on going there next year for a day. I will of course do a little fishing, but also anchor and swim, and do more sightseeing along all of the channels and inlets.
