new to float tubing

So I am new to float tubing. have no clue what i am getting my self into. but this is something i want to do. my brother float tubes so i got a float tube my self. we always hike the shore line in NPH but the area we walk is always being over fished by bait fishers who KEEP everything it seems like. And well it was time for something new. so any help that any one can give would be great. any do's and donts. thanks everyone.

Did you already get a tube? My recommendation is fishcat with breathable waders. Flippers are a personal choice.

Just get in with your Brother you will have a blast I am sure, and before you know it you will be teaching others all about your new found sport.

Welcome

hi to you

sorry took me a while to respond back to everyone on here. got a new job that has keep me busy i do have a float tube, it is a U shape tube. i do not have a pair of waders yet. does any one know of a good place to get some that are not way over priced. I am on a buget by the wifey lol. we fish newport harbor but we use to hike a mile long area. any good spots to hit up from a float tube? thanks to every that took the time to respond. good fishing times ahead..

Waders check Sports Authority I have seen sale there from time to time. As for Newport spots to fish might be hard to get out of some people but meet up with them and they will share everything with you. Glad you are posting on the site I am sure you are going to love it here.

@Admin I will be going out with my brother we have a couple of spots we know we can launch from. my brother post on here as well. miller is my older brother. we will be float tubing together but i would like to meet new people to float with. i will have to check them out for a sale. thanks for the info.

thats cool a family a fare I really think that you cannot go wrong anywhere in NPH. Course there are better places, lets us now how you guys do out there when you get out.

man thats cool you and your bro go tubing together. if your just starting out try lido not 18st that spot sucks. lido island is a good place to get your feet wet. newport blvd turn left at via lido and go in to neighberhood. look at the sings so you dont get a ticket from st sweeper. lots of spots to jump in on lido island. i go there when im by my self. lots of jelly fish whear waders there. happy hunting! oh ya the blue fin are in good numbers just came back and there is no shortage of tuna bro.
