The Float Tube Fishing Forum Volume: 5 Issue: 2 | Page 20

The sound of the water or the wind, are very instrumental in our absorbing the environment. Add to this the sound of the birds, wildlife, and the anticipation of hearing a fish break free of the water and return to the deep. These sounds help heighten your senses and keep you in a sense of calm excitement. Not many would agree that the taste of the outdoors would be a great thing but I say they have not experienced it as it should be. To start early in the morning and

get that taste of the salt in the air from the harbor we are float tube fishing, grounds you and give you the feeling of being one with your surroundings. This leaves us with only touch left and I hold this for last because the ultimate reward for a great day of float tube fishing is to have a chance to touch your objective. To be able to touch your reward the fish you are hunting is to make the moment real. To hold your catch up as a picture is taken is a reward within a reward. And even better yet with the chance to touch or hard work, we can let it go and hope to conquer it again sometime in the future. Why do I float tube, as you can see its to feed my soul through the 5

senses and because of the sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and

touch I can never get enough and I always am looking for more. I hope you can join me someday as I am sure you will see that your soul is craving the same.
