North Dakota Float Tube Fishing! - Bassmaster-ND - 02-27-2007
Hey all!
Was wondering if any of you fish out of a float tube?
I pretty much always do! I like it better than a boat because its smaller and easier to load and unload and you dont have to work about a motor!
Here's a picture of my set up!
This was taken about 1.5 years ago.
My Rod rack has changed a bit I will post pictures of that later. I also have added an Eagle Cuda 168 Fish finder. That helps alot. I'm thinking of upgrading to a color lowrance one.
That was nice bass that I caught on a jig.[cool]
Tight Lines!

[size 1]Hey guys.
Here it is!
Its pretty much the same that tubedude has somewhere on these boards. I tried it out last weekend and it works like a charm. All together the materials like the pvc and bungee cords and some other extras cost less than $20. Here are some pics.

Here's the rodrack made out of pvc. I fastened it to the tube with some of those white zipstrips that lock in place.

To keep the rod rack straight up and down I use 2 bungee cords attach to the D rings on the bottom of the tube.

Here's how the transducer is mounted. (it would be straight up and down if it were in the water, obviously)

And I liked TubeDude's idea of keeping the excess cord wrapped up in a eletrical box. The box here only cost me 65 cents and i just drilled the sonar mount onto the box. As you can see I couldnt find 2 screws that were the same length in the old garage. haha.

And here is all the cord tucked in the box. I tried rolling the cord up tight but it just would not fit in the box. So I came up with the idea of just wrapping the cord tight around a pencil that I broke small enough to fit inside the box and it worked perfectly.

Anybody else have any pictures of their setups?
