Yes, just went with my 80 year old dad two weeks ago. Hit a few farm ponds in southern Iowa. A friend had it set up to where we could use his utv to get close to the ponds without walking much. Turned out to be a great day had by all. Caught a pile of crappie and blue gills. I caught a 14 inch crappie. Largest one I've ever caught in my life.
If you ever struggle holding onto the rod or just want a better grip for bigger catches then maybe try using an Active Hands general purpose gripping aid in conjunction with the rod. Not sure if you've seen them before but here's the link: www.activehands.com/product/general-purpose-gripping-aid/
I go fishing all the time plus camping and boating. I'm lucky to live in an area where I can fish in farm ponds, rivers, reservoirs, and even Lake Erie. We a boat that's been modified to meet my needs. There's a few charter boats that will take wheelchair anglers out on Lake Erie and on headboat that's taken an entire group out for Yellow Perch and Walleye. I have a couple of electric spinning reels but I can use a regular spinning reel as well. My largest fish was caught from Lake Michigan, a 15 lb. Rainbow Trout about 10 years ago near Muskegon, Michigan. I've even fished in the Gulf of Mexico several times out of Fort Myers.
Used to fish the salmon river in new york! i did taxidermy for 20 odd years,Mostly fish and birds and occasional alligator or crocodile the shop was on long island, fished the surf on long island my entire life! nothing like hooking into a big king salmon, on a fly rod was the most amazing experience .and the river is no joke either ! Chest waders and corkers.and even though the river seemed not that deep i held on for dear life its amazing how strong a foot of water moves big rocks down stream! but that seems like another life now!
A few years ago I lived on a large lake in Virginia. Lake Anna.I order a pontoon boat with wide doors which would accommodate the width of a manual chair . I enjoyed fishing and just boat riding . What I remember was people were always stopping and asking if they could help . I guess they didn't realize I was operating the electric trolling motor on the front. Now I live on the Chesapeake Bay which is a good size larger . We purchased a 26' Deadrise boat with a outboard. I designed a swing arm off of my pier and purchased a Warn battery operated winch it raises me high enough then I swing over the boat I have a extra chair I leave in the boat. It has a flat floor I can roll around on. I'll try to load a picture of me driving.
