Decided to get back into drifting small coastal rivers for steelhead.  Didn't want to go back to the drift boat route.  Thought about a mini drifter but decided on a toon instead.  Man I can't wait for fish to hit the coastal rivers!  Any other tooners out there?

I really got into this a few years back and ended up buying (2) 10' Outbacks and (1) 10' Bucks Bag  pontoon boats so that I could go with family and friends when we drifted the rivers. I have not become enamored with kayak fishing and have ignored them in my basement for 2 years. I am planning to sell all three boats for a good price if anyone is interested, just PM me. PedPaddler, congrats on your new purchase. They are loads of fun and work great for multi day trips down the river with all of your camp and fishing gear!!

I had meant to say I am "now" enamored with kayak fishing, rather than "not" enamored....   fumble fingers again...

Thats a sweet ride, I've got an 8' and a 9' Bucks Bag toon's, but for winter steelhead I'll take my Clackacraft any day, nothing like having propane heat on those cold days. 
If it wasn't for flashbacks, I'd have no memories at all.

The Pontoon looks like its built really well and couldn't help but notice, your garden is doing well too. Is that picture from this year? If so, I think your corn might be the tallest I've seen. Summer has been so "chill" it seems like its going to be a bad year for corn in general....nice pics.

Thanks for the props on the garden.  Major passion of mine.  My corn is rocking this year... But, You should see the 8+ foot tall tomatoes I'm growing in the greenhouse, have had ripe cherry tomatoes since early June

That's a sweet ride Ron!  Should be rock solid in big water and comfortable for all day drifts.

The state of your garden confirms it.... You live a charmed life.  :laugh:  All my veggies got a late start this year with the cold weather.

Good thing that the permit is transferable.  ;)  One should do it.  Unless of course you take the yak and toon out at the same time...   ;D

Ron,

Would my Tandem Island work as a drift boat? Maybe another joint venture?

Your Tandem Island is many things, great open water fishing platform, distance cruiser, fun to sail and just a plain awesome watercraft, BUT... a drift boat she is not ;D ;D
