Nothin beats the feeling of floating throught the water. Espessially in summer. I like being in the water. I fish from a boat often with a friend but I still like my tube. I've fished from a kayak, boat and bank its not as fun for me. In the tube you are one with nature. Won't mind a triton for those big dams or rivers to do comps but I like fishing small lakes, ponds, quirry holes. Fished the Vaal a few times with my tube aswell and it works wonders. With a boat a person will sometimes move on to fast and not fish a spot properly! I've seen these 300hp bass masters mowing up and down the river and still not catching more fish than me.
Tubes can be very useful when wanting to go for a quick dunk for bass. I was looking to buy a fishing kayak when I started bass fishing. You really get a few nice ones, but personally BucknutZ, a canoe is used to take out pap lines in the Vaal dam!!!!
Looking to buy a proper bass boat but still have to get past the wife. We are going tubing on Saturday looking to catch big winter monsters... hopefully!! You never know!!!!
