new to tubing

[Pitman]

At the end of August I am going to up to Cape Cod for two weeks and there are literally hundreds of ponds to fish. I decided that the best way for me to do "pond hopping" would be to buy a float tube. I was lucky to find this great web site and message board. I just ordered a TU Bighorn and am starting from there. I live in NW New York City (the Bronx) and do a lot of fishing in the Croton Reservoir System in Westchester and Putnam counties. There is fantastic lake and stream fishing. Much to my dissapointment one is not allowed to use a tube in the reservoirs so I will begin searching out new venues in my area in order to begin to get the hang of things before my two week pond bonanaza at the end of August. In the spirit of sharing internet fishing sites, I am a frequent visitor to the [url "http://www.nybass.com"]www.nybass.com[/url] site. We had a fishing get-together today and there are a great bunch of people and the site has lots of very good information. Much on the site isn't applicable to people fishing out West for non-bass species but there are a lot of reviews of equipment and discussion of bass-fishing techniques (especially the "Classic Threads" and "Writer's Cove" section. Again, thanks for the great board and I look forward to starting a new type of fishing.
