First of all, Thank all of you for chimming in and giving your input... TD, your the man!
I live a bit north of Houston... Sounds funny, but I live in a large and very nicely developed community that has lots of little residential ponds, a reservoir, and some bigger lakes near round... but you'd be surprised at the bass, catfish, and pannies you can catch in some of those lakes... You can't take boats in most of these bodies of water, but the homeowners association does not say anything about a float tube... [
] I have also been scouting some nice little inlets and shoreline spots that the "power minions" do not typically get to on Lake Conroe, Lake Livingston, Lake Houston. On the occasion, I am planning on making my way east a bit, my family has membership to a dear lease in Louisiana, and there are some thriving little lakes on the lease... all of which we have seen gators in. And like I said, after more saltwater research, I would really like to take it to the Gulf... But before I plan that trip, I'm going to educate myself better (which means more questions for my new tubin buddies... thats all of you!)
I always pack my common sense when I head out to the water... thank goodness for the big pockets in the 420! I'm a much safer person than I am a risk taker... so I have that going for me.
Again, I can't thank all of you enough for all of your help! I love reading the posts and replies... This forum is like my Sportscenter for tube fishing... dada da, dada da... keep up the good work!
Have a great day and tight lines!
Tex
Oh, and Poon, that was an awesome video... Imagine adventuring out, turning a corner, and seeing that while sitting in a float tube... I think if that happened my float tube would turn into a hover tube because I'd be kicking so hard!
