Well I just finished reading the article "Tubn' Bass: No Stone Unturned" in the May 04 Bassmaster.

I'm dissapointed to say the least! :( Not only did the author hold out on tons of good info, he used 2 good pages comparing float tubes to pastries? :9

If you read this article, I hope you get more out of it then I did. I 'learned' if you will...

It's not THAT awkward

You can fish really, really slow

It would be great for those with a 'beer belly' (the water helps with support)

They resemble 'doghnuts' and 'croissants'

The only true thing they revealed was the amount of access you have to the areas that both boaters and shore anglers do not. I hope that some people (non-tubers) see this as an experience they might want to try. If for nothing else then the relaxation factor. Then maybe more people will see what an addictive sport it can be!
