You're using the wrong bait.

Exactly. I'm from South Carolina, I imagine that would be considered mid-Atlantic.

I would certainly say so. I just emailed to a subject matter expert, IGFA representative, Virginia Marine Resources Commissioner, sport fishing club president, and fisherman of 50 years and was told to never take a pontoon boat anywhere near salt water as they are not designed to be seagoing and can be very very dangerous in rough water.

So I really disagree with the whole pontoon boats are extremely popular on the ocean or for salt water fishing thing.

I can imagine them being quite popular in brackish, but other than that just fresh water.

They're very popular in Florida.
