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.
Again for more info on the Fundraiser Gathering go to http://floattubeforum.do-talk.com and to find out more about my kids medical issue or maybe make a small donation go to ( http://brucekatieb.blogspot.com) Finally for other question feel free to e-mail me at jeffcpr@hotmail.com.

ODC 420
The ODC 420 by Creek Company I have now had the pleasure using one and I will say I was very happy to finally use one. This is the tube I have wanted since I first started tubing, and I was not disappointed. I have now had a chance to ride in quite a few float tubes and this one comes second on my list as far as quality and us ability.
The ODC 420 is a great tube for the money, it rides very high in the water and is very comfortable to sit in for hours on end. The pluses are as I stated above including the PVC coating under the tube witch is very a nice thing to add to a tube.
There are some down sides to this tube as I stated it is now second on my list as top quality float tubes. The down sides are the valves are in the pockets, which is rough, because to get to the valves you need to move all the gear to the side or take it out of the pocket. This is just a pain but not a really bad issue. The other issue I see at least for me, is my legs rub on the inside of the tube so it seem to be slightly narrow for the inside diameter.
Over all the tube is very comfortable and tracks great in the water, you can spend along time on the water and take most everything you need for a simple day of fish. And the cost is just right a great deal can be had as well if you wait for one of the many sales Creek Company has going on. If you are in the market for a new float tube I do suggest you take a look at the ODC 420 it will be worth your time and would make a great tube for most anyone.

Buck Bag Float tubes
I have been float tubing for about 10 years and really never paid much attention to anything other than what I was using. Well now I am looking, and I wanted to show you the Buck Bag float tube. There are 5 different tubes to choose from and while they don’t look different than any other tube there is a big difference in the bag.
Most of the U-Shaped tubes do not have a cross bar to spread the front, instead they have a galvanized seat frame, relax the seat is padded for comfort. Some of the seat are also adjustable front and back and the they keep you higher out of the water than regular U- Shaped float tubes.
The cost of there products are from the mid $100’s to $400 + I would like to try the Mustang pictured hear on this blog. Does anyone out there have any experience with a Buck Bag float tube and if so let us know what you think. As always stay floating my friends.
