Any old tubers around? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Your story sure brought a smile to my face. Extreme float tubing, by yourself, and scoring. Funny, I bought a surf kayak and a float tube to fish south SD bay about the same time. Took me about 6 months to try fishing off the yak (duh). But I still use my float tube fairly often. I usually hit J street in the afternoon after work. If it's very windy, I kitesurf. If it's glass (rare in the afternoon), I'll do some drifts in my small yak. If it's in between (too windy to hassle with the yak but not powered up enough to kite, which is sadly often the case) then I'll use the float tube, sometimes even with with my kayak drift chute. There's plenty of fish a short kick from shore at J street, usually nothing huge, but a good variety and lots of fun catching bonefish on ultralight gear. Still don't quite know what I'll do if I catch a large, pissed off halibut in my tube, but I look forward to having that dilemma. Thanks for sharing.
