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.

Spinfly What a Deal

Sorry I have been away from the blog for some time now and have been working on my forum. Well I had to stop by and share this deal with everyone. http://www.coverbonanza.com/ has a U-Boat float tube for sale, it is called the Spinfly float tube, it is an entry level float tube, but an very good deal if you are looking for your first ride. The Tube sells on for $49.95 http://www.coverbonanza.com/ and they have plenty of other great tubes to choose from, as well as fins and double action pumps.

Again the Spinfly is not for the advanced tuber, but is for those just looking to try float tubing out, or maybe a back up or an extra tube for you son or daughter to get out on the water with you. Also we are on the Float Tube Fishing Forum getting ready to hold 2 different on line contests to give away 2 of these Spinfly float tubes. So if you would like to play along join up with the forum and maybe you will win one to try out for yourself.

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.
