I have an old Jobe U.S.A. float tube just like the one pictured in (Float Tubing, Back to Nature). Is there any chance you could give me the tube sizes I need for the Jobe, I have no idea anymore.

Thanks

Jack

Ray, I tried emailing you a few times but it kept getting bounced back stating “Delivery to the following recipients failed” so I figured I’d reply here, hopefully you will see this.

Your comment concerning access to the duct at 60th had me curious so I asked a friend that lives in Palmdale, who knows people that work for the water district, what was up with the fence covering the access. As it turns out some local supervisor with the water disrtict thought it was a great ideal. My friend wrote a letter to the main office complaining about the closure and as it turns out, they are going to remove it, WOO HOO! According to him, they are going to redo the access and it will be back open to foot traffic in the near future.

I went the aqueduct at 60st west in Palmdale and they have install a new fence that cover up the walkin access on both side of the duct upper north side, this make it very differcult . to get into your fishing sites.You have to climb over or under the gates. I have fish the duct for 35yr,this denying us access to fishing site,that was alway open.What is our tax dallor doing for us when they are use to close recreational fishing and walking.

Andrew, while I feel that fishing is kind of like golf in the fact that I use different rigs for different applications, just like a golfer would use different clubs for different situations, I do believe that a person can use 1 rig for several different applications. I would suggest getting something like a 2500 series Shimano reel with an extra spool. Fill up one spool with 4 pound test fluorocarbon for trout and one with 8-10 pound test fluorocarbon for bass. As to a rod, I feel that a good all purpose rod would be something like a Medium/Light with a fast tip. This would give you the softer tip needed for trout but enough backbome to handle a bass.

Are there any good rod and reel combos that would be good for both bass and trout?
