I started fishing the local ponds in 2009. I had not done any bass fishing prior, and it was a learning experience. But the ponds are well stocked and at times the fishing was easy. A friend introduced me to float tubes and after trying one of his a couple times I bought one for myself.

You can see the waders, boots, and fins I wear. To move around I paddle backwards.

In order to carry more than one rod & reel without them being in the way, I built this rod holder. I saw similar ones on the internet. This works great, but is a little heavy.

I will eventually rebuild this with smaller, lighter PVC.
