[cool]You make some good points. I hadn't ever considered just why flotation fishing was so appealing to me. I foolishly thought that it was because it was "silent but deadly", more efficient, more fun and stuff like that. Now I realize that the big appeal all along is that it is environmentally friendly. Thank you so much, JR, for enlightening me. I will enjoy future float trips so much more now.
But...a terrible thought. If I enjoy it too much, it will only be a matter of time before some special interest group will decide I am having too much fun and organize a protest campaign to get float tubing outlawed. Instead of PETA, it might be LAFT (Losers Against Float Tubing).
If that happens, that's when I go ahead and get a 50 caliber machine gun mounted on my craft. Considered it a few times for personal water craft and skiers, but if the whackos ever start trying to get me outta my craft, they're gonna hafta deal with "deadly force". And that has nothing to do with the burritos I ate the night before. Talk about "emissions".
