    btw, if your using a float tube, make sure that the waders you are wearing come up high enough that when you lean back the ocean doesn't empty into your wader legs. Trust me, thats colder then something thats super cold!

    Yes indeed, this could be the answer to many hunting situations where you don't have the right boat - good thinking!

    Wouldn't most single person pontoons be somewhat maneuverable with fins? I wouldn't want to rely on them to get across the lake, but just to swing on ducks a little I would think it would work.
