I guess that place hates me. The wife and I went up yesterday to Jakes and had no luck, but it was still a good time gave the new tube a work out. Man I love it? Much better than the old round doughnut I had been borrowing. I put the wife on Wasatch801's Toon as she never has been in a float tube before. She did not care too much for the rowing so she just kicked around. Swapped her out and she loved the tube. So I guess there will be another tube in our future, but not until next year. As for the Fishing we used white and Chartreuse tubes, swimming minnow, and I even through a couple of spinners. Still it beat sitting here in my cubicle.

did you tip your tube jig with a piece of crawler or minnow.
that always works for me.

I was just curious if you have a fishfinder so you can see the bottom . I always did good in Jakes bay this time of year . Finding the edge of the weeds is a good way to find the fish . Look for channels in the weeds were you can cast into . Usually the edge is about 30 feet deep but find a channel going to the deep edge and you may have fish on every cast . I may drag out the tube or boat to see if I can still do it next weekend . My opinion is tubes are better than pontoons . Much rather fight the wind in a tube .

As to the tipping the tubes that is a no, I forgot the crawlers, i set them on teh back bumper as i was packig and left them there .. oops. I do not have a Fish Finder yet. I will be ordering on very very soon. the conditions were, Clear with a slight breeze adn just some small ripples in the water. I was using 1/8, adn 1/16 oz jig heads in white and glow in the dark.

You can still catch fish with out bait . I do it all the time . I might put some smelly jelly on when I remember . I didn't try the bait thing till I fished with MGB back in the day . I don't vertical jig much . I work it thru the water . Curly tail jigs I just cast and reel to make them swim . Don't rule out spoons like the Jakes can be good too . Watch for fish on the water . The bigger fish you may only see there nose break the surface on the water but if you cast near them good chance you will hook up .
