[#0000FF]Thanks. Glad you liked it.
Good luck with getting rigged up to go afloat. It does require a few bucks that may not always be "net spendable" in a tight family budget. But a lot less than a boat...both to buy and to operate and maintain. Yes, there are limitations...in speed and range...but tubes and toons also open up fishing in a lot of spots you could never hope to fish from shore. And when you learn to take advantage of the advantages you will definitely improve your catch rate.
Over the years I have often compared "floatation fishing" to hunting with a bow. Both require you to learn more about your quarry and the habitat...and both get you more up close and personal.
Of course, the more experience and proficiency you have with basic fishing...before you go afloat...the better you will do from a tube or toon. However, you will almost be forced to become a better fisherman as you learn how to better use your new craft. Definitely a case of the journey being its own reward.
