About two months ago, I purchased a fishing raft. This raft was a dream come true. I live in South Florida and there are many lakes and I target peacock bass. I usually fish the shore lines but have always said that with a canoe I can get to the other spots on the lakes. In searching for a kyak, I came across an inflatable boats website that sold me on the idea. I have had it for two months and have yet to land a fish. Granted, I have only gone out in it about 7 times but I have had alot of close calls. Finally this week end, my brother and I went to a new lake and had some great action. I finally caught one. If it werent for that raft, I would have never been able to fish that area. The fish put up a great fight and was a dream come true.

The fish was average size for South Florida. It weighed approximately 2 lbs and was about 11 inches long. That specific fish was a female, the male that was with it was much bigger but was not that aggresive. thanks forthe comment.
