hey guys new to the site! really diggin it so far!

whats up guys hows it going..my names matt everyone just calls me hippi, its my artist name im a glass blower by trade. 27 years old and live in riverside ca..lake perris is my stomping grounds as well as other socal lakes..

i had a fishcat 4 tube a while back then upgraded to a ODC 816 toon.. oh and on the fishcat i used old diver fins i found at my parents house which were horrible..any way ended up selling the tube and the toon and picked up a nice 18ft bass boat for 200$! needed some tlc but nothing to crazy..but as u all know boats= money pits no matter what..soo after a month or so of sanding and tearing out carpet.. i flipped it for a quick 450$..left with out any boat or float i shored it for a while then just kinda stopped...

recently i got bit by the bug again and went out and bought another fishcat 4 and some hotspot fins this time! also gonna be pickin up some pvc for rod holders and what not.. proly have some waders next week for the winter bass bite (when ever winter ever hits in socal)... anyway just thought id introduce myself you all got some nice rigs and hope to see some of ya out on the water tubin perris! i know i got my big baits ready are urs?

Welcome!

thanks dude!

Hell yeah welcome! We got a bunch of guys who float perris well have to hook up n wet some lines lol!

Glad you found us sorry the Bass Boat was a money pit but it lead you back to the tube. I am sure you will find plenty of people to tube Perris with. So welcome bro we look forward to you reports
