[cool][#0000ff]Mantua would be a good spot. Easy to launch and plenty of perch, bluegill and bass within easy kicking distance of shore. Probably not a real good bet until about June. And, you have to wear waders in Mantua because of swimmers itch.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I will have two or three extra tubes by then, and some fins too. But, if we decide we are going to do it, and the boys get into it, we can work on the parents to get them outfitted. Once they try it they will be hooked forever.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Once we set a time for the trip, I can come up for one of the meetings sometime before. I will bring my rig and show everybody what we need and how to use it. Then, we will also have a checkout session on the water before turning everybody loose.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I don't know many tubers who have not experienced leg cramps at some time. Diet and conditioning are the two best preventatives. Calcium and potassium rich foods can help the muscles...as can sports drinks.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]If you suffer chronic leg cramps or muscle spasms in your back, or elsewhere, you might want to get some medication with quinine. I finally ran out of the quinine pills I used to be able to get in Mexico, without a prescription because they quit selling them even down there. However, I have found a legal and effective remedy you can buy online fairly inexpensively. I keep a small bottle in my chest pack, while tubing. If I have spent too much time on the water or have had to work in the wind too long, I sometimes get leg cramps. When I feel my calves tightening, I put a couple of these little pills under my
and they really work...very quickly. And, they don't taste bad either.[/#0000ff]
