New to the forum and to the tube

Hey there!

I just got a tube this past weekend and plan to be using it as often as I can. I was referred here by another member from another forum. Thanks btw LGHT!

From what I've looked through so far, everyone seems really nice and helpful. Hope to see some of you guys on the water soon.

BTW, I'm planning my first outing this Saturday at Lake Perris in the AM. Never been to Perris or float tubin before (I know, I'm a brave man ), anyone got any tips?

Hey man welcome aboard.

Float tubing is addicting.

And i cant help you with thay location but im sure some people will chime in really soon.

Awesome welcome to this great site! Fisher and I will probly be out there saturday, im sure hes up to go. So we can lend a hand if needed. If you have any questions about tubin these are the guys to ask. Great bunch of tubers on this site. Fer bass try anythin shad crank bait, rattle traps..... Nothin bigger then 4" plastic worms like robo worms n greenieweenie, purple fx, n mornin dawn 6" works really well. Drop shot n carolina worhed fer me.

Welcome to the forum thehedgemon. I never fished perris but Plenty of guys do, I'm sure they'll chime in soon.

Wow it seems like I came to the right place.

Thanks everyone for the welcoming!

Tubinferbass, I'm gonna be out there probably around 7. Thanks a lot for the info, any idea where I should launching from?

Welcome aboard. I fish Perris during the warmer months and tubinferbass and a few others have done pretty good with the fishing out there so far this Autumn. Good group of guys over here.

Were gunna fish from the launch ramp side cant rember lot # ill let you know. Jus go threw main entrance n go to last dock next to sheriffs boats. Gunna be my first time floatin this side allways floated bernisconi rd.

Glad you found the spot hedge although I'm not much of a fisherman I just enjoy getting out on the tube. I don't mind shore fishing, but I feel so much more involved when on a tube.

Yeah, I got all the needed items when I bought the tube. Hopefully the breathable waders are good enough for that weather.

Waders, fins, PFD, rod holders, and I think that's all I needed according to all the places I read.

You sound like you are ready to go just add water

haha yep u just need to get in the water now me and tubin goin out thurs if u can make it we will be there also on sunday i dont no what pfd is tho

Haha yeah well I read most places require a PFD so I thought I should get one just in case.

Ahh unfortunately weekends are my only days off so most likely will be the only days I can make it out.

You are correct most places require them so it is good to have one. It should be on you or at least close enough to put on if something goes wrong.

o ic never been asked about a pfd so never got one but right on ill see u sat then
