By the way, a float tube tip for when you have a biggin' and you're anywhere near shore, which you should be in a float tube, is to back pedal towards an area where you can plant your feet firmly and that helps to manage big/aggressive fish; I do this as soon as I hook into a big pike when at Skagway/Terryall/Spinney, it's never failed me

Thank you for posting this video!! I needed to watch someone using this particular tube heading to bass pro after work and pick one up!!!
@AllmouthBassing2 күн бұрын
Nice! Did you end up picking one up & if you did how are you liking it so far? I really enjoyed mine, and the only real complaint I had with it was that it's pretty slow getting around with the kick fins. As long as you're not in a real hurry to cover a ton of water though, I think they're great!

@@AllmouthBassing same.. I was using my hands because the kick fins I bought where not big enough for my waders and my huge feet LOL!!! I was surprised how well made it was for the price and it felt good and easy to cast from. No room so I needed to leave most of my gear on the bank, risky. I just took out a small tackle box and a net that was manageable.
@AllmouthBassingКүн бұрын
@@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141 Ahhh, that's a bummer your fins didn't fit! Some guys just use canoe/kayak paddles with them, but I've never tried that personally. For net storage, you could probably find some waterproof velcro straps & strap it straight to the tube. As far as tackle goes, I'd usually just bring a small Plano box that fit inside one of the zipper pockets for hard baits, and only bring the soft plastics I planned on using for the day & it usually worked out pretty well for me. Some guys make custom PVC platforms to extend off the side of the tube for extra storage, but that takes away from the simplicity that attracted me to a tube in the first place, so I never bothered.

Great video and nice catches!!! Catching that catfish in your float tube reminded me of a fishing experience I had many years ago (30+ years ago) out at Lake Henry in eastern Colorado. We (my brother and I) pumped up our inflatable boat and went out and caught some catfish....the placed them on a stringer. After a while the air pressure in this boat was getting less and less. The catfish were poking holes in the raft; thankfully Lake Henry was so shallow that we could stand up and touch the bottom and then waded to shore...pulling the deflated raft with us. I'm sure your float tube is of better quality than the raft we used....but it was still an interesting story our family still talks about. Stay safe and thanks for sharing your experiences!!!

Awesome catches! That’s a cool looking float tube as well. A lot of species have been really interested in sukoshi bugs, at anticline even the panfish bite at it, but a walleye and catfish in the same day on it is wild!

Thanks man! I'm loving it so far. It fits my needs perfectly as far as portability & convenience goes & I think it's really comfortable & fun to be on. I've caught everything you can think of on the bug, but I was also pretty surprised to see a cat & a eye on one with no bass over that long of a time. Didn't make much sense 😅

I had a float tube but returned and bought a kayak. Felt the kayak was more versatile, and quicker to launch, To each their own glad you're enjoying it.

I'd say for someone with the right storage space & a bigger vehicle, a kayak makes sense, but for someone with limited space either as far as their home/storage or vehicle goes I'd say these are awesome. & Thanks man!

@@jogger1987also cost is a big factor. You can get set up with a float tube for a few hundo tops but a entry level fishing yak is $350 for a lifetime tier and a few thousand if you go hobie tier. Also kayak fishing without a pedal drive is tough. Constantly having to use the paddle to spin around and prevent drifting away while with the tube you use your legs and can stay pretty steady while fishing. All that said I still use my kayak way more then my tube 😂 but tube is great to keep in a bag in the trunk of the car just incase you pass by a nice body of water on the drive home from work

Would I recommend this boat for deep sea waters? Does it have quality materials?

Definitely not dude you wanna stay close to shore incase something happens and you start losing air. This is better for lakes and ponds.
@AllmouthBassing2 ай бұрын
People use float tubes for inshore fishing, but I haven't heard of anyone taking them deep sea. Personally, I'd probably stay away from inflatables for deep sea use. With that being said, they're made pretty well. I've rubbed mine up against rough rocks & bumped into sticks with it without any problems. You'd have to be pretty rough with one to get it to pop.

That's funny you asked that today, I actually just landed my first carp of the year earlier today at a creek spot in town. Decent 22 incher. I haven't seen any moving around Runyon yet, but I'd say they should be based on how they're acting in nearby streams.

Yeah, you can easily do that. I think the tube itself weighs about 8lbs so figure it's about that plus whatever gear you have packed onto it. The toughest part is walking with the flippers on 😂

Naw bait casters suck. It’s propaganda from bass fisherman to get you to spend more $$ for inferior equipment. Spinning rods all the way!
