Greetings from South Korea

Hi guys, just wanted to introduce myself.. Im an Australian living in Korea at the moment and have been fishing tubes for a while now. I mainly fish for largemouth. I'm on my 4th tube now. Started off on a cumberland, upgraded to a wizard, then to an outcast scout and now fishing from a max which is an absolute tank of a tube haha Belly boating is big over here with most bodies of waters with no boat laws.. most people fish from a tube. Do a few tourneys when i can and just like being out on the water.. cheers

Welcome aboard Mate.......send us some pics of your tubes and set ups for rods and FF......tight lines........GT

Cheers mate.. this is what I've done so far..

Wow very cool welcome to the forum, we are glad you found us. It looks like tubing is big out there from what I have seen. Thanks for joining and please let others know about us out there. As for your tube that is a tank wish we had stuff like that out here, but the Cumberland service us very well. We hope to hear a lot from you and please share your reports and wisdom when you can.

We do not have a South Korea section but I will be sure to fix that ASAP.

Thanks! Will do mate..

Welcome to the forum tridao84!
I hope to see some reports from Korea real soon.

Welcome aboard, that tube is a giant.

Thanks guys.. hopefully willl be able to get out sometime this week and will post a report.

Welcome aboard tridao84,

I'll definitely be looking forward to reading some sweet fishing reports from your neck of the world in South Korea!

Please let your fellow tubers know that we are here.

It was very nice to meet you Sir.

Nice stuff buddy, you have been rocking some great products.

I noticed that your newest tube is without the electric trolling motor.
Do you prefer the oars over the electric trolling motor?
And if so ... could you please expand a bit on your experience with both styles?

You've gone thru a few nice float tube set-ups indeed!

Thanx for sharing your tube photos with all of us!

SP Dan <"))><

Yeh ive only had my new tube for about a month and still debating on whether to have a motor fitted.. fishing larger bodies of water the trolling motor does make life easier.. but its actually not needed.. the oars are plenty fast enough to get around. Lithium ion batteries cost quite a bit over here also..

Great information tridao84, thanks for jumping in with both feet like you have. We are a group looking for people like yourself, tubers from all over the world. Again thanks for sharing and tight lines buddy.

Im just happy ive found a place with like minded people that i can understand.. im in a couple clubs over here but i dont actually speak Korean which makes communication difficult.. will try and get a few more guys to join the forum as theyre in the same boat as me being a foreigner over here.

Very cool setups! 

I'm pretty new to the sport and I've never met anyone who's fished so many different float setups. Love to hear your thoughts about each one. You obviously have a lot of experience we would all like to learn from!

You're hardcore!

Cheers mate, ive been fishing all my life. Mainly in tge salt back home either from 1 of my boats or yak. After coming over here the tube was the easiest and most efficient way to get on the water.. these are the 1s i've owned but i've tested a lot different tubes that my mates own.. made a lot of mistakes along the way and still learning but thats half the fun.. =)

Welcome to the forum. It's nice to see reports and feedback from other parts of the world. I'm especially surprised float tube fishing is big over in South Korea. My parents are from there and had no idea. They've always told me fishing was mainly only from shore over there in freshwater!

Thanks mate.. yeh it huge over here.. there are a lot of bass fishermen from the bank but mainly its the crucian carp fishermen that take up the banks.. this is what its like at 1 of my club tournaments...

Man guys this is what are goal should be out here. How often do you guys hold these tournaments.

That was just a club tourney.. we hold 2 or 3 big tourneys each year but do a lot of meet ups and mini tournaments all the time.. theres a big nation wide tourney coming up next month which should be bigger.. the last 1 of those i went to there were 250 tubes on the water.. now that was a sight.. the club tourneys usually have between 100~150 tubes.. my mate, a texan actually won the last 1 and i got 4th..

That is crazy man we need this kind of involvement someday it will happen here.
