"Tubin the Salt"
The Ultimate Float Tube Fishing Experience
Saltwater Float tube fishing in southern California's major harbors has been the mainstay for float tubers for years. Since the early days of floattuber.com tubers have been gathering to test their fishing skills in harbors like Newport and Los Alimitos Bay.
While the most common targets are spotted bass and sandbass, nice halibut like this 31", 8 pound beauty caught by Jim Banes are a welcome bonus.
Here is a series of saltwater float tube fishing articles to help you with the ever changing tidal conditions that make saltwater floattube fishing a challenge unlike any other type of bass fishing.
Floattube Fishing Resources
Our goal is to make you a better float tube fisherman In keeping with our past tradition the Pro Staff of FKP will continue to share our float tube and kayak fishing knowledge and if we do not have the float tube or kayak fishing information here that you need, we will point you in the right direction to get it.
Float tube Selector
The Personal fishing craft database just got larger. We just finished putting the finishing touches on our new Float tube Selector. This new tool lets you do a side by side comparison of multiple floattube's and compare the weight capacity, cost and float tube weight. It even includes our Pro staff rating. When you chose a product the link will give you additional product information including Warranty, website link, and additional comments.
Are you looking for a safe location
to launch your kayak or float tube in Southern California? Check out the So Cal Launch page. Have a special launch location? If it isn't on our list please contact the webmaster to have it added.
This is "Bahia Point, Mission Bay, San Diego " This is another easy launch suitable for kayaks, float tubes, and kick boats. You launch in a large cove, and paddle to your left for some good drift action for bass and halibut, or to the right for some kayak fishing action under the bridge, or to the ocean.
Kayak Fishing Resources
Looking to purchase a new or used kayak in the near future? Here is a handy little list titled "What it will cost Me". These are just estimated costs so look around and test drive a few. You may pay more or less. There are always those "Killer Deals" we see every so often.
Already have your kayak? Lets convert it to a fishing kayak. The three things that distinguish a "fishing kayak" are rod holders, fishfinder and bait tank. For help picking a fishing kayak I would suggest the many fishing discussion boards available and the individual kayak manufacturer sites.
We invite you to post on our Float tube & Kayak Fishing Forums. We hope you will also take time to contribute your fishing reports, and add your float tube reviews, and also your kayak reviews and fishing gear reviews.
