Thread: What the heck is "tubbing"?

Maybe it's a tub with no top or bottom and a net across the bottom, and you pull it through the water? If it didn't have a top or bottom I don't see how it would do anything. Maybe that's how it was done before cast nets became popular around here.

Well anyways nice detective work. I searched Google for tubbing, tubbing fishing, etc and found zilch.

I am pretty sure you tub with a galv wash tub without the bottom with a broom handle attached. You set it down over fish. It is used for getting suckers in the spring time.
