Default Dave Scadden Pontoon Craft

If I can throw one more opinion into the fray,,,,,,I have fished the
Delaware, I also fish sal****er ponds, breachways and the West Branch
Penobscot (class 3 whitewater). I've seen a number of pontoon boats get
into trouble in all of these places.
Also in any moving water, you're limited to fish, for the most part, down
stream.
If you ask me a rowing canoe is the answer for you. Portable, stable,
maneuverable. With the right one in many situations you may stand and fish.
I also have rigged anchor systems at both ends, so I may anchor facing up or
down stream and to stabilize my anchorage in cross currents. I use an Old
Town Osprey 15.5' and couldn't be happier.

I am in the final process of deciding on my first pontoon boat and it
looks like the first pontoon I looked at - Dave Scadden - Madison
River (9 foot)- I like the best. Does anyone have any experience with
these pontoons? This does not have internal bladders, frame brakes
down to 3 pieces, weighs only 46lbs without platform. Portability is
very important as I have a small car - must fit in trunk with back
seats down.
Will be using mostly on Upper Delaware ( class I & II).
Have not decided if I should get Standing Platform w/leaning bar - any
thoughts?
(seems it could be more of a nusiance if mostly pulling over and
stopping to fish)

How about Sal****er use? For Stripers? - feeder rivers to ocean or
bays?
