what are all the uses of a polling platform?

The first and most obvious of advantage of the poling platform is visibility. You can see much more of the marsh you are fishing from the elevated vantage point. You can also see into the water better because your elevated position cuts down on glare. Poling from a platform is also easier than from on the deck. When you are elevated on the platform, you are much less likely to knock or bang the engine or rear of the boat with your push pole, potentially scarring fish. Your elevated position on the platform also reduces the leverage of the poles length working against you so it is less tiring than poling from the rear seat or deck.
