Can you fish a tournament from a pontoon boat?

Post by Fishin' Dave »

Just currious if it meets the length requirements, has a live well, and a steeringwheel, could you? Any orgs prohibit this?
Don't be lame. It's just fishing; you are not the new mesiah you know! Check your attitude at the door Mr. Spinners on da boat trailer.

I have seen them fish out of patio boats in a American Bass Tourment on shasta lake a few years back, so its must be ok. the patio boat was in the money also,lol. as long as you have some kind of live well and the proper safety equipment theres no reason why you cant.
