    Default Tube Float Fishing


    Never have, never saw anyone tube float fishing.

    So do any of you go for it or not?

    Got back into tubing last year and love it. VERY relaxing way to fish. Fun and effective, too.

    BTW, it's "float tube", not "tube float".

    It's all I used to use. Best portable boat around. I wish I still had one. I never used the flippers that recommended for them. I always used divers fins and would motivate backerds. It was way faster and gooder.

    When I was in my 20's and 30's I float tubed in the summer--all the way to October (sometimes). I really liked it but as I got older, I decided the best way for me was on a nice comfy, space-y pontoon rig. lol

    It is a great way to fish. It makes you fish slowly and methodically. I never used the silly fins at all. I just pedal-stroked my way along, dragging a minnow bucket behind on a rope.

    Depends on who the Manufactuer is and what part of the country you live in. Here in Oklahoma, they had been advertised as "Tube Floats" 30 years back. These days, I have seen them called, "Float Tubes". I have always called them Tube Floats myself. I had one of the original canvas setups with zipper and two small compartments on the front. A truck innertube, some air, and your fishing.

    Regardless of what anyone calls them, I love them!

    Lake patrol here in OK would make us tag and sticker one of those. Great little setup and would be perfect for farm ponds and pits. I like them things too!
