Well I did a hole lot of tubing for 2 months in Arizona now I'm back in so cal and all the areas to fish are pretty large for a float tube. I don't mind float tubing I rather enjoy sitting in the water. I know you don't have a good vantage point being so low in the water but it seems like a little added on challenge. I want to get a trolling motor add on for it eventually but for now I just want to build a 4 rod, rod holder and an anchor. The wife doesn't want me getting a boat right now so I'm trying to keep my whole set up small
