I hit the Berry about 5:30 and was on the water by 6:00, the Maiden Voyage went well and was very very relaxing and enjoyable, I had an old school tube some 15 years ago with the neoprene waders that would make you sweat so bad it would have been better to go without, the old tube made you sit so low in the water it was difficult to enjoy the fishing. All I can say about the new Tube was WOW! so enjoyable, I took Tubedudes design and built the pole racks, and utility rack with the pole holders out front. One pole I let out a green wholley bugger and the other as for finess jigging, I scooted around the bay for awhile untill I figured things out, ended up with 3 nice cuts, not a bad first trip and a great learning experience, i can see why you all are hooked on tubing, It is so peaceful and personal, you are in total control, I am an Ice fishing nut and I love finess jigging, this made it as close to that as it is on ice. So from now on, I'm not sure if I will be inviting many to go fishing, i might just sneak up on my own and enjoy the peace and quite of fishing in a tube. Sorry no pictures yet, I had to get this trip behind me and now I will work on pictures.
