Float Tubes and Small fishing crafts

Question

I was wondering how are float tubes when fishing. Are they comfortable, can you cast fairly well from this do you feel constricted. Also what are some other good small crafts from single person to two person crafts.

Answer 1

I could second the vote for the float tube.  I found mine to be quite easy to fish from, easier then a rubber raft.

Answer 2

Float tubes are loads of fun for the single fisherman. You can get into place you might not have access to in a boat or from shore.

As for feeling cramped, that can happen. It always pays to research the products available and read user reviews before making a purchase.

Punctures in a float tube can ruin your day! You always have to be careful of what you are doing in one. I had a crappie fin my tube once and had to get back to shore quickly! I learned to use a fish basket instead of a plain stringer.

Answer 3

float tubes are great. the major advantage is the control-ability. You constantly control the tube with your feet, leaving your hands free to do what you set out to do, fish. Yes, you can cast just fine, I fly fish and have no trouble casting. They're also fun and relaxing
