What I have been up to

Ok it has been some time scenes I have posted here on my blog, and I would like to let you know way. I have been working on building custom rods for some customers, been working hard (very glad I just have a job) and finally I would like to post up that I have started a forum. this forum is dedicated to float tube fishing of all kinds and all locations. http://floattubeforum.do-talk.com/

First of all it has been fun building, it is just a free site but I have learned a lot already, not that there is not more to learn. I have gathered a few sponsors, partners and affiliates. For member of the Float Tube Fishing Forum you will receive discounts of up to 25% from some of our sponsors and others will be sending sample lures for me to past out to members as well.

Our affiliates are Bass Pro Shop and West Marine and order through our site link will result in money back to the forum. My goal is to one day be able to purchase my domain and no longer be a free forum. Of course that would mean that I was making money with the forum.

As for now I am just looking for members to join up and start sharing with others let us know what is going on in your waters. Meet some new friends in your area that maybe able to meet up with you and start some fishing groups of your own.

http://floattubeforum.do-talk.com/ stop by and take a look it is free to join and it will be fun the more people we get involved in this forum. Also the next 3 members that join will receive a free sample of Alluring Baits so what are you waiting for become a members today.

TU Kennebec


Ok it is not a new tube, bought it off of craigslist for $75, but it is new to me. It was only used maybe 3 times in freshwater, so for the price I was all over it. As for what I think of it, it is a 8 on a 10 scale. I really like the feel of it very comfortable for a 3 to 4 hour day of fishing, you sit high out of the water. it is light weight and it built as far as I can tell very well, should last me a while. Now there I feel always be some sort of down fall on everything and there is a few on this tube as far as I can see.
1. The pockets do not hold bigger tackle boxes just the smaller profile boxes.
2. The seat while comfortable for a 3 to 4 our day, after that the back rest begins to hurt my back along the side. There most be some way to fix this, and it really may just be me maybe others are ok with it.
3. Oh that is it.

Over all this is a really great tube I feel, it can still be found online in a red and black color, I like the newer colors. My tube is a teal and black older model but it seams to be identical, so if they have not changed it over the years they must have a winner.
If you find this one on sale and are looking for a good ride on the water this may work well for you.

I am still fishing just have not been on the blog for awhile

Ok so I have not been to this blog for sometime and I am sorry for that. I have been working on to other sites of mine http://www.customrod.webs.com and http://floattubeforum.do-talk.com.The Float Tube Fishing Forum is my newest endever and so far it is slowly growing.I have worked on partners and sponsors and have a few deals for my members ranging from 15% to 25% off of tackle and lures for members and affiliation programs hoping to bring money into the forum in time.

So as far as float tubing goes for me I have been doing alot of tubing in Newport Harbor and The LAB as well not to much freshwater fishing. Just end up being cheeper then paying to get in to the lakes. There have been some good fish but more just learning than anything.I di get a newer tube recently it is a Kennebec TU float tube very similar to my Gallatin TU except there is a seat in this one.I will be posting a review very soon, but let me say I like it alot so far got it off of craigslist for $70 only used twice.Well happy holiday to everyone and have a safe New Year, check me out at http://floattubeforum.do-talk.com/ and I will be back to the blog to see what else I cam share with everyone.
