I haven't tried it, but I think fishing from a tube at night would be a blast. -- and hopefully NO stinking WIND! Have you all ever noticed that wind is a four letter word?

Since then I have found a way to put a clamp on navigation light on my toon. Also have head lamps.[cool] [signature] Re: [albinotrout] Nite Tubing.... - Quinterora8 - 08-08-2010 Tubing at night is fun. A headlamp would be a good idea. I have only fished at a local pond and had pretty good luck. Got tons of Tilapia on a bright orange rooster tail. Was trying to catch some walleye but no luck. Only down fall was that I was under attack by Bats until a big owl came out, but other than that it was Fun. Just get a headlamp that has different colors red works pretty good for the bugs. Just know the lake your fishing at. Re: [Quinterora8] Nite Tubing.... - idahoron - 08-09-2010 [inline 7-4-10-G.5.jpg]I have done it twice this year. Once for walleyes, perch, and bass. The other time was for catfish. Neither time was as productive as early morning and late evening. I did see some cool stuff and do some neat things at night. Spending the 4th of july in my toon was amazing. Ron [signature] Re: [cpierce] Nite Tubing.... - Bluegillman - 08-09-2010 A week ago I came up to a guy who lives a block from me is a float tuber. How I found that out is I live on a dead end street and have to go around the block and spot him unloading or getting ready to go float tubing. Talked about float tubing and he asked me if I wanted to come along with him night tubing which I did last week. Had a blast catching bass after bass and all those bass were 15 to 19 inches and I got 17 of them in three hours and he got 25. Said we would had gotten about 45 to 55 bass a night but it was kinda slow.... So I wanted to take my son along on a different lake and I thought we would do good as I did do that a year ago but last night wasn't the same.... We used top water lures as we can't use anything diving as too much weeds. Hope the pic aren't too big..... [signature] Re: [Bluegillman] Nite Tubing.... - peter805 - 08-09-2010 I have done it once. Tubing/fishing at nite is cool. Catching was not so good. Maybe will better next time[] I will do it again for sure and see what happens. Try it on full moon. That should be the best time.

Also cool to see little red light foating under water when pulled in.[cool] [signature] Re: [albinotrout] Nite Tubing.... - peter805 - 08-09-2010 [quote albinotrout]When fishing for panfish use a lighted bobber as well.

I never had any luck catching bluegills after dark. I remember when I was a kid I used to be catching bluegills after bluegills all day then when it got dark it stopped then all I was catching bullheads after bullheads...... Red lighted bobbers....I gotta try that! I have lighted nocked arrows and they are fun to watch it fly to the target...
