Tak,<BR>Why don't you try out float tubing? I just got one for under $100 and had a blast in it at Lopez on Saturday. I just kicked right on over under the bridge and fished along the weeds. Caught my first bass, a nice 3 puonder. It's really fun and a lot cheaper than a boat. It's funny but the birds and animals just ignore you like they don't realise there's a human out there. I had deer grazing along the shoreline and just look at me as I floated bt less than 10 feet from them. Give it a try!<BR>Ken A
