Float Tube and Fishing Seminar

The Float Tube Fishing Forum, will be hosting a Fishing and Float Tube Fishing Seminar.  We are going to be taking the general public out on a local park lake for an opportunity to try out float tubing.  We should have fly fishing demonstrations, knot tying classes, learn how to choose the right fishing pole for the right situations.  This event will be open to the general public and be all about education.  It should be a lot of fun as well as a wealth of information, it is all in the planning stage right now but is looking really good.

Today I was out at the lake just getting a feel for the water, as well a look for the best spots to launch.  We took some time and kick the whole lake, it is shallow but it will be a great place to try float tubing for the first time.  Here are some shots of our trip on the water, if you are a local you will know which lake it will be by seeing these picture.  Any questions please don't hesitate to ask. 

Float Tube Forum Members Rock

My wife and I have for the last 11 years, been dealing with our 2 youngest kids and there medical needs.  It is a long story one which I have told a lot but now it has come to us needing to head out to Texas for some special research.  The cost of all the medical visits and medications has, cost me, last year 67% of my income.  So needless to say it has been hard for the last 11 years for us all.  Our kids are doing well we just need to continue to fight to try and find out what the issue truly is and hope that we can get a diagnosis.  If you would like to read more about this check out my other blog ( http://brucekatieb.blogspot.com ) It explains what we have been dealing with as best as I could explain.

Well why does the my Float Tube Forum members rock they are putting on a Fundraiser Gathering to help me and my family get to Texas for this research.  Everyone is invited and details can be found on http://floattubeforum.do-talk.com or e-mail me at jeffcpr@hotmail.com.

Here is what we got going on February 23rd. 5pm till midnight, $10 minimum pay in at the meeting spot.  fishing for spottied bass.  Catch and release so make sure you bring you scales and digital cameras.  The will be held at Mothers Beach Los Alamitos Bay, and like I said everyone is invited.  We will be tubing, but you can yak it or walk the shore, even swim if you like.  I am every proud of my Forum, these guys have helped me grow this site in to much more that a fishing board, and now they have out done themselves by talking this on.  With your help we will be able to make it to Texas to take part in this research and hopefully find some answers to help our kids in the long run.

FTFF 2nd annual Toy Drive

Well Christmas is coming soon, I know it is still more that a month away right now but it is time to start thinking of the kids and what they would like to get from Santa.  I am sure everyone know some one, some family that is in need this year for Christmas, so I wanted to put this out there for others to read.  Over on the Float Tube Fishing Forum, which is part of this blog we are running out 2nd Toy Drive.  Last year was a great time at Laguna Lake in Fullerton, were we meet up and donated toy to a local charity (The Spark Of Love).  Well this year we are at it again and we are setting up to crush last years donations.  This years we have 2 locations for drop off for gifts, and fishing will follow, as well as guys will be tubing.  The first location will be Newport Harbor, and the second location will be Perris lake on a different day.  At each location there will be a raffle held for some goodie bags filled with some donated fish products that will be much worth you showing up.
On the 22nd of December will be the drawling for the grand prize a custom built rod from one of our members of The Float Tube Fishing Forum.  You do not need to be a member to donated to this worthy cause.  But to be in the raffle you must be signed up before the events begin, and even though we are all about Float Tubing you don't need to be a float tuber, just come on out and fish with use for a great charity.  Below of the flyer please feel free to pass it along to others that you think might be interested.

Introduction about me and my idea

Hay there my name is Jeff and I live in Southern California. I am a fisherman of over 20 years and of the past 8 years I have had the joy of float tubing. This something I found as a kid and always wanted to try it, but could never get my father to get into it. so like I said about 8 years ago I bought my first tube and almost a soon as I had it out I had it in the waters of irvine lake.

I have to say my heart was racing, just a little nervouseness and, just pure excitment. I don't remember much after that, only that I could not wait to get back out on the water. Well I have had plenty of more trips scenes and tried many other lakes, but what about you.

Sign in and share your stores and your tips with the other people that well find there ways here. I would like to set up a place for other float tubers and belly boat fishermen and wemon to find other people that may be interested in the same things as the rest of us.

And maybe one day this will be a community of float tube and belly boaters from all over the U.S. I can see group meetings and trips and maybe a touny ot two in the future.

So please sign in and let us know what you think; stores, tips, tricks, or just try and find some one near you. I look forward to hearing from you, thanks and stay floating my freinds.
