[inline IMG00080.jpg]got to spend about 6-7 hours in my tube and I gotta say WOW im ADDICTED now.
I think the best way to get used to a tube (this being only my second day in one) is to get to a spot you wanna fish and fish it. LOL i was fishing in the 15-20 MPH wind all day and let me tell ya i got good and steering this thing. sometimes almost twisted my legs in a pretzel though.
overall great day and im hooked on tube fishing now. Im still buying a boat next summer but just to make it easier to get across the lake for my tube hehehe
oh and i caught my first fish in it early this morning. it was about a 1.5lb bass. this evening i caught another bass and about 5 or 6 perch. probably coulda caught more but i had to head to the boat dock before sunset to enjoy the beauty with my wife. put a worm on for her and she caught a perch.
BTW i LOVE large mouth bass fishingm but i found it is nice and entertaining to hook up a worm and bobber and cast it out and hook the pole in my tube. this thing is nice and comfy with my tackle box strapped to it, 2 poles a brick for an anchor and a drink.
(if you cant tell i love float tubes now) yall can expect to hear a lot more from me.
