"The big difference is that you don't have to work up a sweat grinding a hole in the water before you can fish, when you are in your tube."

I think if I was in that Arizona sun, I'd find a way to work up a sweat anyhow!
Thanks for the tips. I realize that nothing is a substitute for experience, but it nice to be pointed in the right direction. I've fished mister twisters for sauger and walleye in Montana, but that was fairly random fishing with moderate success. I've caught a bunch of wipers at Willard using the same methods, and although I'd like to say I new what I was doing, it as been more of a right place right time kinda thing.
This year I had excellent success ice fishing, and I've been aching to try out some open water vertical fishing. I guess I haven't caught enough fish from my tube to be overly confident that there could possibly be fish directly beneath me. I'm sure sonar would erase all doubt, and believe you me that a fish finder is right at the top of my wish list.
I love fishing and I'm very objective when it comes to trying out new things. I lived in Holland for a few years, and I've seen some wacky techniques employed.
Thanks again. I'm always anxious to start applying the things I learn here, and believe me, the people of this board sure can make your head spin with all the new things to try.
