I just started tubing this trout season too! It's my favorite way to fish now, I've gone over a dozen times already. I'm lucky it felt natural even the first time out... I did stay really away from other anglers though. I think what helped me was having the mentality of riding a motorcycle just look where you want to go and your body naturally tends to help you get there. Don't worry about being yelled at, everyone has to start at sometime. I recommend lnl or corona, winds generally aren't as much of a factor and lakes are smaller.
