Here is our 3rd and final magazine issue of 2014. This was the first year for our new venture Float Tube Fishing Forum Quarterly Magazine and I will say it went very well. There are things to work on as well as improve. And with the start of 2015 we will be doing just those things as working hard to make this magazine a very informative and sought after publication. Being the only Float Tube Fishing Magazine out there I feel we have done very well. Thinks will only get better from this point forward and with hard work we will become a force in the world of fishing. Please check it out for yourselves and see what we are up to. Thanks for all the support from us at the Float Tube Fishing Forum.

Float Tube Fanatics has made some major growth
A good friend of mine up in Canada has been making a selling Float Tube Fish Finder Mounts for a few years now. He has been making a very cool product that allows Float Tubers and Pontooners to choose any fish finder we would like to take with us on our personal boats. His whole design is simple and compact but extremely well made. Well now he has taken his fish finder mount system to the next step. Now you can take your fish finder and mount system with you on your kayak, Canoe or aluminum boat. If you have not seen Float Tube Fanatics and there fish finder mount product, you need to check them out.

Big Hammer Swimbaits check out what's new.
The Ring Hammer once of the newest baits from Swimbait Company Big Hammer. This new bait is similar to there original Big Hammer swimbaits but with some obvious changes. The new bait compared to the old bait, as you can see there are now rings or ribs on the body of the bait conpaired to the old body on the original bait. The rings come from there Ringer worm but instead of a curly tail they added the square tail to it to achieve the amazing swimming action that so many of us come to rely on. I feel that the ringed body give this all ready amazing swimbait just a little more to help keep the fish latched on.
The rings tend to give it a little more give or texture making the lure seem more life like, which will keep the fish on for just a little long for your to set that hook. I also feel that the rings provide small pockets to help trap what ever scent you add to your lures, which most of us use. I also really like the size it come in, 4" in length. I always us the 3" swimbaits that Big Hammer makes, but have never been a fan of there bigger sizes they bodies seemed to be bulky. I do know that they work and this is just my opinion. But the new Ring Hammer at the 4" length is just the right size and shape of body I feel fooling those fish. The last time I was out I tied on of these on and in true Big Hammer form it swam in the water just like a bait fish. Even better it landed me 8 spotted bass in a 4 hour period, maybe to some that is not impressive, but for me in my float tube, I could not have been any happier.

Fizard Check this out for yourself
OK so I came across this today and figured I would send it out to share with everyone. What a unique idea a dough bait type material that does not fall apart in the water and acts as a fish attractant. The cool things is that you can attach it to any hook in including your favorite lure and it will leave the sent trail behind and you reel in for a strike. Once this bait hits the water it is activated beyond just scent, it fizzes. When it is in the water the activation of the bait allows it to release bubbles that send out the scent trapped inside. Go to www.fizards.com to learn more. (Video) http://bcove.me/ztgpp2ba

Caddis and the New Teardrop
The Teardrop by Caddis
The seat or back rest appears to have been made a little taller which is a great improvement over the Pro 2000. I would also like to point out that the two pontoons are now attached unlike the Pro 2000 create better stability in the water. I had a Pro 2000 and I will say it is a good way to get in to a stadium seated type float tube. There was a lot lacking in the Pro 2000 and it looks as if they have addressed some of these issue. The tube sells for $200 which again is not a bad price for a decent entry level float tube of this quality. I have not heard any reviews on this float tube as of yet. If looks are any indication it should have some pretty good reviews.

Smartbait "Color Changes Everything"
The company named Smartbaits came o us at the Float Tube Fishing Forum and asked if we could advertise for them and help spread the word. These baits come in a variety of different types, from soft plastics to hard plastics, all of which change color in the water. The way this works is through temperature, as the temperature of the water changes so does the color of the bait. Here are a picture demonstrating the color change the lures go through.
On their website there is a lot of examples of the color change, as of course the best way to see how this works is to try the for your self.

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 Kicking Technique Video
OK so I am not much of a GoPro genius but I thought maybe I could shoot a video showing underwater footage on different float tube Kick techniques. Is there anyone that think this might be something they would like to see. I will make sure to keep it simple and strait to the point, what do you think. You can see this video in the next 2 weeks on our forum and YouTube.

Float Tube Fanatics Fish Finder Mount
We have been advertising the Float Tube Fanatics over on our Float Tube Fishing Forum and I want to just give a plug again to them for a great company and product. They have been building these fish finder mounts for a few years now they are very well made and make a very simple and compact unit to house most any fish finder. What I found to be the best thing about there product is that everything is all combined into one spot. The battery for the fish finder is secured in the box which mounts the finder and the strap that holds the unit to the float tube also mounts the transducer.
But now they have taken this one step further and made a fish finder mount system for small boats (ie Aluminum boats or Canoe's). There design is just like the float tube mounts but instead of a strap to hold it in place there is a strong magnet and clamp to help mount the transducer and Battery box. They overall mounting system is just like the original float tube design but just adapted to fix the need of the small boater.
Wade of Float Tube Fanatics is one extremely nice guy that is always willing to help you out. He is always ready to answer any questions you might have and if you decide to purchase a unit for your float tube, pontoon boat, and or Aluminum Boat / Canoe you will not be disappointed.
