Newbie Tuber Windblown at Willard 8-30-23

[TubeDude]

Thanks, Pat, for braving the windy day with me and at least I did manage to catch something this time around and which was my goal! Who'd guess it would be the only catch of the day. Too bad it was the place for everyone to hang out but everyone was polite and tolerant of each other so that was nice. The crappie was nearly 12in, so a nice one at that. 

Thanks too for assisting me with my 'drag' issue - but hey I learn something knew having had the issue.

Maybe the winds also kept the bugs away if we're looking for something positive to say about today - LOL

I think there was a lot "positive" about today.  I generally recommend that new float tubers spend some time just moving around and getting used to their new rides and learning how to control them.  You have had a couple of test dunks before but it is good to have someone more experienced along to help identify potential problems and make recommendations.  I seemed to notice you doing a much better job of moving around under better control as the morning "blew" on.  We will give your new landing net more practice next time.
