[#0000ff]Fishing is good therapy to help relieve stress and erase bad memories. I have long referred to it as my "brain broom".[/#0000ff]

I took 15 minutes during lunch to watch your videos. Looks like you know how to have fun with family and friends. I hope to get my daughter interested in fishing too. She has her own Madison pontoon and likes to float rivers here in Wisconsin. Pink Floyd as background music was the best - very relaxing before I get back to my busy day.
The underwater video clips were great. Nice set up for capturing your outings on Barrett.
Couple questions: When towing your rigs behind a boat, any special advice to avoid accidents or is it as easy as it looks?
Also, after towing, do you put into shore to climb into your tubes or do you have another method?
Last, I feel for the loss of your dad. Went through the same in January, 2010. TD is right. Fishing is soothing for the brain and soul. Best wishes.

Towing is pretty easy. If you have d rings at the bottom of your tube it's best to tie to them and then through the handle if there is one on your tube this way it will hydroplain some what.
And yes we find a spot to beach the boat and climb into the tubes.
Good luck out there and thanks for the kind words.

[cool][#0000ff]I know some "bi-craftual" fishermen who have both boats and tubes. Some of them have actually acquired boats to serve as "tube-taxis"...transporting their tubes to hard to reach spots so they can fish them with the tubes. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I know there are some big lakes in California where there is a lot of houseboating. Here in Utah we have Lake Powell...with over 1600 miles of shoreline. Lots of folks rent houseboats for family or group vacations and take them to a remote cove somewhere on the lake where they pull the bow of the houseboat up on the beach and then air up their float tubes to fish for the time they are there. Good stuff.[/#0000ff]
