Nice load you've got there. I was able to take my Fish Cat 4 out for a spin yesterday. It's a similar float with the large foam pieces which I prefer. I like being a little higher for casting and it's a plus when the water is cold.

You fish?! Where were you all those years ago when we did the YT mammoth trip? I was the only one out there fishing.
Prior to this tube, I had a Caddis navigator IV that I used for years, but it finally got some holes in the tubes so I used that as an excuse to get a new one. I liked that tube because it was really light and compact. This new one also has some big foam for the seat and the back rest which is good and bad. The thing doesn't squish down as compact as my old one and it probably weighs twice as much. But it does keep me out of the water more.

Yep. I'd say it's about 50/50 fly and spinning. I do enjoy some solo float tubing but with the kids I've been doing a lot of crank baiting. Both kids have had poles since the age of one and by two were able to kind of cast. They are now 3 and 6 and have it down. Their attention spans are shorter than mine so it's just messing around kind of fishing but with water outside of our door it's a quick fun activity.
On Monday the boy and I headed up to some higher lakes in the South Lake Tahoe area and enjoyed some dirt roads and quiet lakes.
Can you take a picture of the styrene that you're talking about? I can't see it in any of the videos that I shot at Cleghorn since your light bar is in the front. I get quite a bit of wind noise at highway speeds with the Yakima rack even with the plastic dam in the front.
One more reason for having a flat roof rack! You never know when you're going to have to help a friend move a giant cabinet across town.
