Pike Angler Seated in a Float TubeImage via WikipediaI love fishing from my float tube. I have two float tubes so I can take a friend fishing with me. If you have been reading my blog for long you probably know I have way more fun with friends.

About 6 years ago, the last time I was fishing before my heart attack, one of my buddies broke one of the flippers in my second set. Well I never replaced that set, plus my health was so poor at that time I really didn’t think I should bother picking up another pair.

I didn’t have the energy to use my float tube last year but I will be using them this years so I have to get another pair of flippers. Oh, wait a minute I just got an email from Jamie. He is looking at flippers on eBay, one of my favorite places to buy things.

I like the flippers Jamie is looking at because they fit over your wading boots allowing you to tie them on pretty snug. That is the style I have now but the other set I had were more the scuba type flippers and after being in the water for a while my feet would hurt from the pressure of the flippers. I never get that with the ones that go over my wader.

The flippers that fit over your boots don’t pinch my feet and toes so I can fish all day without being in pain.

BTW: Jamie is in for a treat in the 2009 fishing season because we will be hunting pickerel on the fly and from the float tube. We will be right at the water level and that is when pickerel fishing gets really exciting.

Are you really ready for this Jamie???
