[cool][#0000ff]If I wanted a boat I would own one...or it would own me. I've had several and have fished from boats all my life. Just a matter of personal preference to use the float tube. To me it is like the difference between archery hunting and rifle hunting. Stealth, skill and concentration...not just blasting off down the lake whenever you wanna change spots. Forces you to fish harder and work an area more thoroughly. Guys that I fish with in their boats will testify that it gets old hearing me say "Now, if I was in my float tube....". [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Also, no major upfront investment, costly upkeep, insurance, gas smell, noise, etc. There is a common belief that BOAT stands for "Break out another thousand". To me there are more upsides to tubing than downsides so that's how I roll...errr float.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Having been a boater AND a floater I am well aware that there are times and situations when you really need a boat to properly fish some waters under some conditions. But from my perspective I would rather be able to fish those many other places where boats can't launch or can't fish as well.[/#0000ff]
