[QUOTE="Allen, post: 460012, member: 389"] Yes. I don't do it often, but I have and it was fine. The downside is that the toon isn't as nimble in allowing you to follow a specific depth contour. Hence you will find yourself in shallower water than you wanted to be, which will likely ensure more snags. Again, with the toon not being as nimble, it's slightly more challenging to go retrieve a snagged crankbait. However, at places like Antelope Flat up north of 4Bears, or Pepsi Flats on the west side of Indian Hills campground, the toon is fine for pulling cranks since they are long and relatively straight runs. On an irregular shoreline you will likely run into the problems I mentioned above. The other problem is that your anglers (at least a couple of them) will want to sit in the front of the toon. This will help ensure getting lines tangled or in the prop unless you have a plan for depth choices and how much line is out. Always have those up front with more aggressive diving lures on your longest rods so they don't have to let out as much line. Those in the back of the boat should be running another 50% more line to again help prevent entanglements. [/QUOTE]
