ollie Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I was thinking the same thing, probably safer further down the lake around where Wayne is talking about. Current slows down more and the lake opens up more. "you can always beat the keeper, but you can never beat the post" There are only three things in life that are certain : death, taxes, and the wind blowing at Capps Creek!
Big Brown Trout Posted June 20, 2014 Author Posted June 20, 2014 thanks guys, the last time I was there Taney was very slack (not saying it will be when I go again), I know that early morning would NOT be safe at all. also wondering if it isn't allowed. Let the summer of Carp, begin.
ness Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 I don't think float tubes on moving water is a good idea, period. There's just not a lot of ability to propel and/or control those things. Get your foot hooked in a tree or something and that current is going to take you down. Plus, getting in and out requires relatively shallow, calm water -- and even then it ain't always pretty. Add what's been said above, and I don't think it would be very wise. John
