Seems every time I go out in my tube (usually at Kaweah) people are amazed. It's as if nobody has ever seen or heard of float tubes before. I get snide remarks from boaters asking how many horse power I have, and kids saying something like, "Look mommy, that man has a really small boat". And people talk about me as if I'm not even there. Usually now, when someone makes a stupid remark, I tell them they get to only make one.
Now that I've got that gripe off my shoulders I just want to say I gave night fishing a try last night at Kaweah. At first it was loud and crowded. The air was hot, still, and muggy. Then as the AH's left it got really nice. A breeze picked up, the full moon rose over the hills, and it got really quiet and peaceful. Unfortunately my wife's swim fins were giving her a lot of pain so we went in early, switched with each other and went back out. Then they gave me fits. They are Force Fins and hurt the top of our feet tremendously. We fished purple worms, crawlers, chicken livers, and swim baits. We couldn't even buy a bite. The water level has really dropped since the last time I was there. Maybe that can explain it.
