Tioga Inflatable Pontoon Boat Closeout

9' deluxe pontoon boat with padded seat, side rod holder, removable stripping apron and stowable transport wheel for $388.33 Closeout Deal including Free shipping.  So from time to time I come across deals that I feel I need to share.  So Cover Bonanza came to me with two deal and this is one that they wanted me to spread the word on.
This is a Closeout due to a simple mistake that was made, it was to have gray straps and the straps ended up being tan.  Such a simple mistake that was made means that the customer will get a great deal.   If you look this up on Amazon it sells for $100 more plus you are getting free shipping.  I would jump on this if I was not married with three kids,, but I am so I am passing the deal on to others.
Here are some of the specs you might be looking for on this Pontoon Boat: 

• 9' pontoons
• 400 lb capacity
• River rating - class 1
•  Assembled size: 108"l 58"w 26"h 
• Weight: 68 lbs

There is a limited number of these in stock and I will be sharing this with others soon.  So if you are looking to upgrade and wanted a deal I think you should check this out http://www.coverbonanza.com/38900/709275/Pontoon-Boats/Tioga-Inflatable-Pontoon-Boat.html

Big Horn by Classic Accessories

The Big Horn from Classic Accessories, I just pick 2 of them.  Wow this basic tube is more than just basic, it is a great stable fully thought out u-shaped float tube.  A friend of mine has this very tube as his first float tube, and was very happy with it from the start.  It is always in his truck and ready to be used.  He also owns a Cumberland which is is first line tube, built by the same company (article on this one to come), but when there is a slight problem with a friends tube, here he comes with his Big Horn.

From what he has said and what I have seen this is not beginner float tube.  It can hold up to 250+ bls, and comes with plenty of storage on it as well.  It rides high in the water which is good as it does not have the stadium seating, which is not a down side it is just the style of this tube.  Starting price is about $150, and if you look some times you can find it for less. If you are an avid float tuber and need a quality back up.  Or a true fishermen just looking to get into his first float tube, then look into this one.  I am going to have fun truing this bad boy out.  Once I have tried it I will get back to everyone and let you all how it went, Tight Lines.

Float Tube Fishing Forum Gatherings

Over on our Forum we are getting ready to have a gathering, which is just a chance for us to get together and fish as a group.  Also an opportunity to pass out all the donation from tackle companies Big Hammer, Pro-Cure, and The FTFF tackle store just to name a few of our sponsors and partners.  There might be a few others companies joining in as well only time will tell.

At this point there is about 17 members of the site all meeting up at the Southern California Location (you will need to become a member to learn date time and location.)

There will be more to come so keep checking back and see what else we have going on.

Puddingstone Lake is open

I found out sometime back Puddingstone Lake (Frank G. Bonelli Park) in San Dimas California has opened all waters to float tubing.  Now some of you might think ya so, but this is big there was only float tubing allowed in Sail Boat Cove, but now the whole lake is open to all float tubers.

The only draw back on this is that you have to launch from sail boat cove, so I hope you have some strong legs.  I have fishing Puddingstone many times, and I truly like Sail Boat Cove as a fishing location.  There is great structure all over the cove in that area, as well as areas that shore fishing is impossible.  But now with some an open lake tuber can venture out and try some new location to see what they might hold.  Of course please be safe the water skiers can give people a hard time.  So I am looking forward to getting out there and trying my luck in some new spot if you have already tried let us know how it went.
