Howdy BFT - been awhile since I posted. I'm often more of a spectator, but since i appreciate the fishing reports so much, I figure should contribute myself.
I hit up the Bubble Up with FishMcfisherson and this time I brought my wife along.
I hitched my tube to my wife's so she would be a bit more comfortable with the idea. It was her first time on a tube and I was hoping she would enjoy it. Fishing trips require her approval, so naturally I want her full support this season
. She was really nervous and uncomfortable on the water at first, but then she got her first Channel Cat and it was all fun from there.
It was perhaps a slower day, but all in all she landed 3 Channels, 1 Walleye, and I only had 1 mudcat (fought quite well though). The Walleye snapped the line at the tube, so we technically didn't 'catch' it, but I caught it on video. We were using shrimp and neither of us had caught a Walleye before, so we both were freaking out a bit haha:

It was a lot of fun and she loved it, so I believe I have her endorsement and look forward to many trips this season. She's even down for turning 'Friday date night' into Saturday morning float trips. Cha-ching! I gotta give credit to Tube Dude/Tube Babe for paving the way.
FishMcfisherson caught a couple channels I believe and usually does quite well on the Bubble Up trips. We'll be at it again soon. [fishon]
