Whats up fellow fisher persons (not to offend any gender, race, or ethnicity).
Been a while since I stopped in but this is a topic I rather enjoy. If you know anything about me, which you may hope you didnt, you would know I am one of the premiere Jackasses of fishing. Willing to go and do the dumbest things, just for the sake of it. Well, my stupidity isnt just limited to women, it extends heavily into float tubing as well. As Rob will tell you, I have charged many a decent wave in my float tube, only to be flipped...4-5 times??? Yeah, some people never learn. Anyways I have been flipped on them all and to date, no injuries and minimal gear lost (anyone find a tackle box of plastics around Rincon???). If you want some decent info on how to get through the waves look on the float tubing section about launching through the waves. I wrote it myself so you know its pretty much bull, but there are two decent photos of me getting slammed by some waves. Oh, and yes I did make it out without getting tossed, and yes, Rob is the wuss taking the picture from shore and never venturing out.

Later fishmasters
