Panfishing from a pontoon boat can be very relaxing and rewarding for the whole family.Pontoon boat fishing for panfish is fairly simple. All you need is several fishing poles and some basic equipment. Cane poles can be a lot of fun for everyone. We use the telescopic type of fishing poles so they are easier to put away or store. A spinning rod and reel outfit is my favorite fishing set up. I use an ultra light reel and rod to get the maximum amount of fight feel from any size or any kind of panfish that I may catch. Using 6lb to 8lb test line is usually adequate, unless you are fishing in the lily pads or some heavy weed cover. Then you may consider some heavier line in order to pull your fish out of the rough without breaking your line. Make sure you get a reel that has a good drag system. Then if you do have the lighter line on the reel, that drag system can help protect your catch from breaking the line.The tackle box should have small hooks size #6 to size #10 available for the small mouths on a bluegill or crappie. You will also need a hemostat pliers in order to remove the hook from the panfish. Panfish tend to swallow the hook if not set quickly after a bite. If they do...more

But most boaters are not aware of how to deal with the situation or the many things they could do to help eradicate the threat that these oil spills pose to the environment. Wondering what should boaters do once they witness an oil spill? Then, heres is a simple answer; oil spill response at the earliest is what a boater needs to do. The first step towards oil spill response is to report the spill, regardless of the size to the Coast Guard or the National Response Center. All you have to do is to call up to the NRCs 24 hour hotline and report the spill along with your personal details, the spillers details, and date, time, source, and location of the incident. To make reporting even easier, the NRC has launched an Online Reporting Tool. Once you report the spill through this online tool, youll receive an email enclosing the reporting number. We cant always expect the Coast Guard and other organizations that are involved in oil spill response to keep a check on the waterfront for spills. So, its our duty to act wise and report the spill at the earliest. And beware! If youre the spiller and dont...more
