[cool][blue][size 1]Welcome to the floatin' forum. What waters do you fish most and what kind of tackle do you prefer? As you will find, fishing from a pontoon or float tube will probably help you to become a better fisherman, since it puts you more up close and personal with your quarry. Since it is quiet and friendly to the ecology, you get a lot more personal enjoyment too.[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]We can all sympathize when it comes to wind. I can fish in almost any conditions, but when the wind comes up, I'm outta there. If it becomes too much like work to fish, then it's time to go home and catch up on the work so you can go fishing again when there ain't any wind.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]TubeN2 made a good suggestion on the Fish Cat from Outcast. Creek also makes some good mid range tubes. They have a good reputation for quality at a good price. [/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]If you wander back through some of the past threads on the forum, you will find that we have hashed over most aspects of flotation fishing at one time or another. If you are just getting into it, send me a Private Message, through the BFT system, giving me your email address, and I will send you some chapters from my unpublished book on 40 years of float tubing. It includes chapters on tackle, species, outfitting your craft, dealing with problems, etc.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Again, welcome aboard and feel free to fire off any questions. We will keep working on you until we have you properly set up and functional. Sorry. Can't do anything about the wind though.[/size][/#0000ff]
