I own a float tube and have for 5 years. I love fishing out of it but dont have anyone else to tube float with. Most warnings on the tube say to go with another person but i never have. Last time i went to a small pond and was fishing there was a huge beaver swimming around in the pond. I was a little worried that it would get courious and head my way. The problem with that is moving in the water is slow going with a float tube so thats probably the reason i dont use it that often. But as far as fishing out of one it is a blast ! I have caught bass in it that have jumped as high or higher than my head. Thats a little strange when it happens. Good tube fishing and luck.
