First time - justfloatin - 05-25-2011
Well I finally got the SFC on the water for the first time on Monday and I gotta tell ya it was awesome. It took me about 10min. to get the hang of her and I was off catching trout. the tube was very comfortable during the 6 hours I was on the lake and found it easy to maneuver around using the dive fins. Now I just have to get the mods done so I can test those out when I hit the water again on the weekend.

It is addicting that is for sure. I know Koke and I have both sold our boats since starting up the tubing bug. Enjoy!

That is funny, I guess we did too. Went from a Rinker, to a Alumicraft to a Monarch and finally "two" 11'6" pontoons. Added a bunch more over the years too, but we were originally, the boat out, anchor then climb in the tubes and fish away.

Never had a boat but did want one at one time. Chose the toon due to I was single at the time and it was cheaper. Now glad that I have the toon and no boat. Kids love the tubes as well and got mamtrout interested just after we were married in 1997. Gotta love tubin'.

Maybe when you get old like me, you will have thoughts of a boat again. We are looking for a not too large John boat for those frosty mornings, plus it is nice to jet to the other side of a lake[

Well I got it bad.
Five seconds after hearing we had the day off today the tube was in the truck and I was gone. I spent the whole day on the water exercising trout.
