Morning Joel


Yes it is 4:30 in the morning and I just had to reply
to your question. I have been float tubbing since 76
and have gone from a round tube to a U-boat and bought
my first kickboat two years ago. With a round tube it
is easier to carry if you are searching for a back pond
or just want to fish get in and out without alot of hassle.
Also you don't carry as much gear.

With a U-boat you can get in easier and can carry more gear.
I no longer have my round tube but I still have my U-boat as
a backup. On my U-boat I have good storage a fish finder and
a 3 pole rod holder. Of course after buying my Outcast blue Heron
8 kickboat things changed.

Fishing was different from what I was use to. The first day
I took my kickboat to Stevens Creek sitting high in the seat
with the water only touching below my knees, I pulled my feet out
of the water and placed them on the leg brackets then took the oars and started moving though the water. I was amazed on how much
water a was moving though and before I relized it I was acrossed
the lake.

As a matter of fact I don't even remember fishing, just wanting
to get from point A to point B as fast as I can, plus it was a
kick to see the responce from all the shore fisherman watching
me as I passed them several times. My kickboat know has a fish
finder, 6 pole holder and a removeble trolling motor that make
my kickboat whight about 60 pounds fully loaded.. but you know..
It's worth it. Good luck on you choice.

Best Fishes
