What do you suppose this guy would think when he looked up and saw a couple of nice black legs with fins just aching to get bit

I say the biggest advantage they have is - silence. In freshwater you can pretty much forget getting for about 15 minutes after powering into a spot
with your motor. But with float tubes I've had fish rising 30 feet from me for long periods of time. They don't get spooked by what they see
underwater but as soon as you stand up - they're gone. I would think the same advantages probably hold true for those calicos in the kelp beds.
The other thing I like about belly boats and kayaks is being down that far in the water. It's great to pull one up alongside you next to your waist.
Fishing becomes a more personal experience. It's like the polar opposite of what those guys experience on those long-range boats, using 8 foot gaffs.
Simpler is usually better.

I've never float tubed but it looks great for inshore fishing as long as there is a good launch spot. Not so sure about having my footsies dangling
with a thrashing 10 pound fish that has a mouthful of treble hooks! That's the scariest part of kayak fishing for me anyway. They are too close to
you. As far a sneaking up on things I think that works both ways. Sometimes you want what you are after to look up and see your little chunk of
plastic. The only time I fish from a boat now is when I want some company, there is nothing like being towed around for half an hour!

The tails add something, don't they! Not sure my wife agrees though. Close to Los Frailes, about a mile out. Sardine rapala xrap with 15lb
flourocarbon leader.

Those small halibut are called "chicken halibuts" up north. Mighty good any way you cook 'em.

Do those big ones get tough tasting? Always wondered about that.

I think it pulled me around for about 15 minutes then did the straight down and around in circles thing for another 15 minutes. Almost spooled me
before I got the kayak going in his direction!

maspcifico, No. The big ones and the small ones are all good. They don't get coarse and tough like some fish.
