Hello everyone, I have been lurking around here for awhile and figured I should finally post.
1st a bit about myself. I am 34 yrs old, live in Fort Collins, Colorado and am addidcted to fishing. I usually try and fish between 3-6 days a week with at least 1/2 of the days with my 4 yr old son. He is cathing the fever. [cool] At the age of 3 he has a 19" rainbow & a 17" LMB under his belt. All caught fully on his own. Ok, enough bragging on him.
Anyway, I just got my 1st float tube this year. It's a Super Fat Cat that I an in the process of adding things to. So far I bought a fish finder and battery and should have the hooked up this week. Next will be a rod/tool holder. I have seen a few on the pictures you folks have kindly shared and like the plans.
When I get the 'Fat Bastard' (the name of the float tube) on the water for his maiden voyage I will try and take some pictures.
The only wuestions I have are, what do you wear on your legs in the warmer months while fishing from a tube? Waders? Pants? I guess I know I am gonna get a bit freaked out when stuff brushes up against my legs.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and thank you all for making this such an amazing forum!!!
