Hello everyone, I used to frequent this site about 10 years ago (mostly just lurk & read) anyway I'm finally hoping to get back to my love of fishing. The old fish and ski is long gone and I'm going to try to use the family pontoon. I have a trolling motor for the bow & plan to take out the front bench seats and use folding chairs for more options over permanently mounted seats so two people can fish either side or front. I would also like to try to set up spider rig on the front, and troll crankbaits off the back. Does anyone else use a pontoon for a fishing boat, if possible I would like to see pictures for ideas.

Also how is the fishing at Pomme De Terre ? I used to go to Mark Twain Lake, but now have a fifth wheel set up at Hermitage 1/4 mile from the Dam & keep my boat in storage at Galmey. I usually put in at the Pittsburg State Park Marina because it's usually not that busy. I haven't tried fishing for crappie yet, I'm usually with my wife & kids so I might throw out some anchored jug lines for cats & then go swim.

By the way my name is Tim, I live in Washington, MO and finish drywall for a living.
