New float tube fins

Ok I know that I have posted this before but I think they are worth it. Omega Flip Fins have you seen them and if so do you have them. I don't have them yet but they are on my list, I just need my dive fins to finally take a dump, and this may never happen. Really i am looking for comments for others that have used these fins before.

They are not cheap $170, but if you are a true float tuber I think that they are very much worth it. I love the way they flip up in front to alow you to walk around (no more tripping on the banks of the lake infront of everyone else). And I don't know about everyone else but I like the dive fin for its moving ability, this has that same size flipper to really help move you around.

Again do you have these and if so let us know what you think do you like them or not.

Newport Harbor from my tube

A follow up to (What am I thinking) on the 20th of Feb. at 6am I meet up with some friend to float tube Newport Harbor for the first time. Now I have been tubing for many years, but have managed to avoid the salt at all cost. But why, now I know there was really no reason to avoid it, wait thats right SEALS oh my word SEALS.

I have heard stories of seals messing with tubers in the bay, that was the reason, other than the salt just ruines your gear as well. But my arm was twisted and I gave in, there are 4 of us going so my odds are better that I wont get messed with by a seal. And I can always clean my gear after, so there is nothing holding me back.

The day started off with light rain and what looked like a horrible day on the water, but that was soon removed by the sun shining through as we got in the water. I mean as soon as we hit the water the rain stopped. Nerves were replaced by excitment as my friends started getting some hits. I switched jigs at match the color and with in a few casts I land my first fish a Halibut not league but a great way to beat the skunk.

later I ended up landing my first Spotted Bay Bass, with the 3rd fish right after another Spottie, this one was over 14" long weighed 1 3/4 on the scale. We all caught some before 10am and were off the water by 10:30am. You can be sure that you will be see more salt reports from me as I had one of the best times ever fishing the bay. I will be back no dought about is this is a new addiction for me, not that I need more.

What am I thinking

So I got this wild hiar up my well never mind, lets just say I am nuts. The 30th of Feb. I will be making my first trip to float tube the Salt in New Port Harbor. I will be with a few other poeple that have done this so I am not to worried. I will be reporting back to everyone about my experiance on the salt. There will also be pictures and I hope none of sharks or sealions Ha Ha. Wish me luck everyone.

Humminbird® SmartCast® RF-35 Wrist Mount Fishfinder with RSS

It has been some time sence I have been here to post up and share and I would like to appoligize for that. But this is a new year and I will try to stop by and share some info. with everyone.

I just resently heard of this Humminbird SmartCast (wrist mounted Fishfinder).

Ok this may not be that new but I fisd it pretty interesting. I have hard that it is not that great for finding fish as much as it is good for just finding structure. But that is cool I think, if you can find the sturcture you can find the fish right. There are different units out there, some I heard are better than this still some may not be as good. Cost $90 to $100 uses just a watch battery and I feel was made for the float tuber. If you have any more information about this unit or other like it I would love to hear about it.

keep floating my friends.
