[cool]That's all I use...and all you need to reach lots of walleyes. It is possible to take a fair number of walleyes from shore, or while wading, but tubing lets you work a lot more water a lot more effectively. The fish in that pic in my last post were taken from a tube, as are pics of hundreds more...including my biggest, a 12 pound pig from American Fork Boat Harbor.
If budget is a concern, you can pick up a complete setup...tube, waders, boots, fins, sonar and everything...for about one monthly payment on a super boat. Once you have your tube setup, there are no insurance and maintenance costs, no trailer problems, no burnt out lights to get you a ticket and no winterizing. Fuel costs are low too, and you don't have to worry about getting in and out of the marina during low water.
The main problem with getting a float tube, rather than a boat, is the speed and range. You can't tow a water skier and you can't run clear across Willard and back...just to see who's fishing the other side and how they are doing.
Let me know if you start thinking seriously, and come on over and visit us on the float tubing board.
