I think you guys are going to have a ball. The biggest problem on a weekend is going to be the other boaters. I dont know if you have ever been out on the local paddies, but there will be a hundred boats on each one. I have been off dana when dorados have jumped and hit other peoples boats because there to close. there are always reports of getting sawed off by some other boat driving over hooked fish. Some folks dont respect other boats, I dont think you will be able to fight them off in a tube. you will have a better chance on a week day. I keep good thoughts that you find a paddy with no boats in the area. Be safe, and dont be suprised by some rude boaters.
