Fiirst Time Float Tubing for Bass
Had a good day on the water this weekend. My daughter Nancy had been wanting to try float tubing for Smallmouth Bass for the longest time and this Saturday we finally got around to it.
What a hoot! I had forgotten what it is like for someone to try a float tube for the first time.

Everything from knowing that it is easier to walk backwards in flippers to how to actually get into the thing, it all has to be learned. And then comes the magic moment when their feet leave the bottom and they are free.

There are the first tentative kicks with the flippers just to see if you really do stay upright and then the big grin. 'Hey this really works and is it ever fun"
Well, it was great fun. I caught a handful of small ones. Nancy caught her share of little ones and one big one. Big enough to give her bragging rights anyway.
If you haven't done it in a while, take your kids fishing. I know that Nancy isn't exactly a kid anymore, to the rest of the world anyway, but I swear in that place, on that day and for those few hours, we were both much, much younger.

Fishing with your son or daughter....It doesn't get any better than that! You don't have to drink from the fountain of youth....just go fishing in it!
That was well said Brad!
I couldn't agree more.
Cheers,

Fishing from a tube is a load of fun. Add a fly rod and it gets even better. Then throw your kids into the mix and you got the ingredients for an awesome day. Not sure about the Bass as I've never fished 'em (none in Alberta) but would like to someday.
Cheers,

Tube fishing sounds great but I bet I would look like a giant piece of bait to every shark within swimming distance. sounds like good fun though.

Well Doc,
Smallmouth Bass don't really compare to Rainbow Trout but if there are no trout around and you use really light fly gear it can be great fun. It just ain't elegant by any standard.

Hey Fish Whisperer,
If I had a great boat like yours I'd never come ashore let alone get in a tube.
Cheers,
Steve
