poky-mon (& lunkerhunter2),
You beat me to the post as I am not familiar with your lingo but am assuming "toon" is short for pontoon boat. Those would normally be the beasts that are like miniature boats (with paddles and motors and what not) and the operator riding high and dry? I also don't know if some are convertible but believe the regs define float tubes as suspending your body (below waist) down in the water. I have a float tube that has pontoons for inflation and stability but assume it still qualifies since I still am wet from the crotch down (somewhat drier when I wear waders) and use flippers for propulsion. I suppose that I could also call my craft a "toon" if I wanted.
Back to the real subject, I know very little about Weston but that is one of the prime reasons for buying the float tube. I was impressed with the quality of trout that I caught there ice fishing (both color and taste) so assume it has good quality equatic life (e.g. shrimp). I have also heard good things about the perch fishing. I have not caught bass there and was thinking they were large rather than small mouth. It is a large body of water and should provide great opportunity for "toon" fishing.
P.S. If and when I do learn something about fishing there, I would be glad to exchange info with you guys.
