Hey all, current bank fisherman here. I want to get a float tube or pontoon to get on the water. I have a general idea of what I want/need but could use some tips. I live in southern California, I want something to get on the water in the harbors and lakes. Where to even begin?
The tube itself: I basically know I want one one of the bigger ones, with oars, that sits high. Anyone know if the Savage Gear one is solid? Flexible budget here but not gonna go crazy. Maybe 300-500 range. Want to avoid the random/off brands. And I'll need to be able to put rod holders on it (or get one that comes with them).
Everything else: Don't even know where to start here -- fins, waders, pfd, etc. If any float tube enthusiasts want to just throw some tips at me I would greatly appreciate it! Diving fins, float tube fins, chest waders, boot waders, neoprene waders, I'm drowning in information here. I've got the fishing gear covered though!
Thanks guys
