Welcome to the forum!
This is a great place to get ideas and share.

Welcome to the forum! I am looking forward to bay fishing in the same awesome tube!! Let me know when you are geared up.

I just bought my cumberland and took it out fir the first time on Sunday in brutal winds at El Cap. She performed like a champ through the chop and the boat wake.

I can tell you that the Cumberland really is all that. Only taking it out once, I am convinced of it.
From being belly deep in my Caddis Sierra Gold (Great tube for 8 years) to just the bottom of my thighs being in the water now is a huge improvement. I was worried about losing thrust being that high up, but there was no issue.
The tube cuts through the water way better that u styled tubes and the cargo space behind you is a life saver for storage. My only complaint was the two huge pockets and no smaller side pockets. Once I rearranged my gear into boxes I am now more organized and am stoked about them. All I need now is a make shift fly patch and life will be good.

Welcome to the boards. Good helpful bunch here

Thanks for the warm welcomes. Glad to hear good things about the Cumberland. Been doing some research and decided on after some reviews I read and lurking around the boards. Waiting impatiently for the tube to get here so I can rig it up and probably driving wife crazy cause I keep talking about taking it out to fish. Any advice on waders and fins. For fins was wondering if I should get scuba fins ?
