want to take a pontoon along the shore and into the bay. Don't want to
go "out into the gulf" (want to be able to tell if they are men or
women that I see on the beach) Any advice or negitives.

I would not take your boat out into the Gulf. First, nasty little storms can
be on you before you know it and your boat is not equipped to handle the
conditions that these storms often create. Second, your boat is slow and so
even if you know bad weather is approaching it's pretty risky to try to out run
it.

The only substitute for a lake boat on the ocean is high speed capability. The
only substitute for high speed capability on the ocean is a seaworthy boat.

One can always find someone with which to fish in the Gulf who has a boat
suited. You can pay back by hosting inshore trips.
