If your interested in a new boat, Bucksbag Southfork is the way to go. We can hook you up if your interested. Good luck with your kick boat bladder.

Yes you can launch at M-N-M camp ground, but you can lauch at the public ramp before driving back to M-N-M and float under the bridge and BINGO, your in the keys. Or you can use the free ramp just behind Bob Higgins Limit out.

Throw sinkos every where and also use some shallow crank baits. The waters not that deep, 15' give or take. Be sure to flip every think on the edge and way back. Work wooded tangles real good. Go to our web page and make a post on how you did. Good luck. Rich P.S. Stop and suport Bob Higgins and buy...

32 of our club members fish a tourney on Sunday at Highland Springs Res and we spent nothing on gas. Just the gas to drive there. Nothing like a float tube for a great day on the water.

I drop in on Stampede at the dam in the summer time and slay smallies all day while the old guys troll around the lake in there aluminum boats. Most are small, but the deeper I went the larger the smallies were. Good luck

Indian Valley, 10 mile gravel road, smallies and largies, the lake is 6 miles long with a 10 MPH speed limit. No personal craft zipping around. This is truely a fishermans lake.

It doesn't matter which boat you chose, you'll have a great time on the water. Just be sure of one thing, which ever one you chose, Round tube, U-boat or kick boat, be sure to buy a Bucksbag. They make the highest quality of all the brands. I have been around the sport for a long time and their all ...

I just got home today from another great fishing trip. I qualified as # 7 on the Federation Nation state team at the begining of the year by fishing a Delta tournament. So I was invited to fish at Lake Powell with the state team at the Western Divisionals. The team is made up of 12 guys who qualifie...

That seems to happen all the time on the big water ways. Put your self in a float tube and your working that same tulie bank when here comes the 21' bass boat behind you. They fish within casting distance then put the trolling motor on high and zip around you. Then they stop a casting distance infro...

Go north and enjoy.

The cost of having a stuffed or replica fish on the wall is totally crazy. For a fraction of the cost you can have a beautifully framed picture with you, the fish and all the back ground hanging on the wall. This picture will make for a better conversation peice also as you tell your story and finis...

CATCHEMCARO

Sorry for blasting off so early. I too didn't realize what it would be like until I was oaring around as the %100 guys where crusing in. It was a little hairy for a few minutes thats for sure. I have been fishing with the club since the very begining and I have personally never had a close call yet ...

CATCHEMCARO

The Sonoma County Belly Boat Bass Club was mixing it up in there too. We only had 33 float tubers, but they where all around the Piper Slough area. I had a chance to have Aron Martins fish past me and he was totally cool with the few other tubers fishing around the area. We're not planning on stoppi...

CATCHEMCARO

WOW, those guys rock! I think they both got their start in float's.
Good going guys, way to represent.

Check out the San Jose Bass-N-Tubes club. They probably have some tournaments in your area. They have three regions that have a full scedual of tournaments for float tubers. They're very well organized and they've been around for about 12 years if Im not mistaken. They're affiliated with the FLW fed...

Thanks to all of you float tubers that made the run up to Berryessa for the Sonoma County Belly Boat Bass Clubs 2007 tour opener. We had some thing like 30 anglers come out in the cold to try their luck on Capell Coves bass. I didn't get a chance to prefish so I just went fishing. I updated myself o...

The official 2007 season began this month with the first meeting of the year! We had a great turn out and lots of new faces joining us this year.

Im going to lake Powell for my first time in May. I was wondering if its better to fly into Vegas or Salt Lake City? And hows the drive from both places to the Bullfrog Marina? Are there any good places to stay near Bullfrog Marina? Last but not least as I start putting together a game plan, what's ...

I have had good times and bad times on the back of these boats ran by (PRO'S) I have realized that you must clear the bad thoughts completely out of your head and fish as hard as you possably can behind who ever you get drawn with and make the best of it. I have learned a lot from guys who ran the b...

What do you guys think about the growing sport of float tubing? Do you have any input on how we can grow and help the BASS Federation Nation in our state? What do you big guys frown on about the float tube bass clubs? Last but not least, how many of you started bass fishing in a float tube?

For those that don't know, its a two da...

No plants at Spring Lake last year or this year do to the funds.
Many of the big dogs have been harvested also as they got hungry for the wrong anglers baits. There's still a few left as several Sonoma County Belly Boaters have caught a few recently.

Rich

CATCHEMCARO

Thanks guys. I can't wait to get out there again.

I plan on fishing the stren series next year as a non-boater and I was wondering when the sign-ups begin for those four events. I surfed the FLW web site , but wasn't able to find any information. Is it still to early yet?

Ah memory lane. I remember having to sit while the Paskies Ball O Fire sat waiting for a trout to bit. My Pop and uncle reminding me not to move the old blue fiberglass rod complemented with a Mitchell 308. Then one day I found a small minnow bait and tied it on and started casting it. Caught my fir...

This is one of the many reason you boaters are seeing more float tubers on the water every weekend. No gas, no batteries, almost no ramp fees, no machanics, no boat payments, no oil. A little more effort to get to the next dock, but the limits still 5. Entry fees are small and payout are just ok. Th...

CATCHEMCARO

Im heading to Scotts Flat Lake for some small mouth action this weekend. I was wondering if any one has been there recently and if so, how was the bite? I havent been there in about 9 years, but back then the 3 and 4 pound smallies on fire. Any info would be great.

Ive stayed in a few places there and the State Park for $21.00 is the ticket. You have a good ramp, clean bathrooms and heck its only a place to be while your not fishing. Out early and in late. You can grab a decent burger at Burger USA just down the road. This is how float tubers do it on a budget...

Is this the same Mr Reese that started his career with the Sonoma County Belly Boat Bass Club as a float tuber?

Way to go Jimmy. Keep up the great angling.

Mine is having to be driving to work at that perfect time in the morning when I just know I should be fishing with my friends in a float tube while working some docks or flipping a mile of tullies on good ol Clear Lake.

Rich

Are you sure you haven't spilt some thing on it, like a soda. I have never had any braid become sticky.

Rich

Im going to Clear Lake tomorrow evening for the night bite. Any information on how the bites been. I'll probaly start near Lucern unless some one else out there has any tips for the night bite.
Thanks
Rich

CATCHEMCARO

You are correct. Blast-off at 2:30 and weigh-in is at 8:30. And you don't have to be a member for your first tournament.
