Can't get myself to pull the trigger just yet, wish someone locally here in the central valley, Calif. has a FP that can help me out with their experiences. Some of the video's I've seen, it looks a little sketchy with balance catching fish, handling the net, setting rods down, etc. I'm torn between a FP or a small bass buggy which is about the same price, giving more room, better balance, and I can go out on the winter. Not sure anyone here goes to the delta in the cold winter on a FP, but it would suck to not be able to stay dry. I like the idea of multi-use, fishing and summer recreational for the kids/family.
