After you get a small wide pram that is 8 feet or longer you find that you can stand up and cast, plus with Polaroids on you can see better down into the water it is hard to go back to a float tube.

Yeah...I started out fishing from shore then to the round tube...then to the open tube...then to a 8 ft pram...then to a 10 ft Spring Creek pram...then to a 150 Montauk Boston Whaler...which I now use to get to the shore I used to fish way back when.
But I must admit with the pram you're lower and closer to the water and the advantage of being able to stand and spot fish is a big plus.

Sonny, the black lab, ran ahead to make sure there were no gophers or jackrabbits in the way. If you don't give a dog a specific job, he'll improvise one for himself and it will invariably be fun. There's a lesson there.
