[quote Roghet]Indeed. The beauty of the float tube I imagine is the control. (I have yet to try tubing. I spend 90% of my time alone so fishing for me is part social interaction with fishermen in a boat. But due to the challenges of having someone to go out when I can, a tube may be on my horizon!)
It can be a challenge to subtly control my boat in varying conditions changing winds, etc. I usually end up dropping anchor then casting and bringing back to the boat in some manner. Since UL has a pretty clean bottom most of the time, for me that means dragging bait.
Jigging the way tubers do... well... I'm waiting until someone straps a camera to their head and lemme see it in action!

I am lucky enough to have two 12' talons on the back of my boat and i-pilot with Terrova on front. So I can anchor easily in Utah lake with a push of the button on the talons or use "gps" spotlock on the trolling motor and stay within 10' of an area.
I just need to figure out the rig I need for catfish. Will google some today, but looks like a heavy weight and keeping the bait 6" to 12" off the bottom is the way to go?
