Yeah. People take them out through the heads to dive. But set up for fishing wise. A tinny is probably better.
Just a tip. Google smartwave 3500. Small boat. Insanely stable. Great for fishing. And some guys have set them up so well. Pm if you want some more info or photos

Just don't hook the boat, you might go in the drink..
I don't exaggerate... I just remember BIG.

After watching this on Shark Week I decided I will never buy a blow up boat...

The zodiac types? Easy done. It'll take a slip with a knife, toothy critters and mishandled fish,or standing on a hook to puncture one.

If you're talking about the pool toy types forget about it

hahaha.. i was looking at a ZODIAC 3.4 for bay fishing.. another reason why a inflatable boat is due to not having a towing car 24/7
