wade fishermen wear shoes
 

my buddy just sent me these pics last sunday he was struck by what he belives was a stingray he went to the hospital to get closed up they cleaned him up gave him meds and closed it up 3 days later his foot was swolen, red , and he could not walk. they had to re open it scrape the bone re clean it put a few stiches in it and install a pump that removes the puss all day he also has a permant iv in his arm which he has to give himself iv meds. so moral of the story wear shoes not flip flops in the water

goodness!!!!! thank goodness I wear crocs when I wade....what do some of yall wear??

good lawd..i wear crocs too..but im thinkin bout gettin some steel footed waders after seeing this..

i wear nothing because i figure if i spent that much on a boat im gonna keep my as s put right there in the damn thing!!!!

When You think about salt water fishing :Remember this there is nothing out there that won't fin you, stick you, bite you and lastly eat you.On the other hand I 've been a wader for along time as well as a mutiple boat owner.

Since they have finally started making them big enough I have been wearing the Everlast wading boots and Ray Guards.

Must be that "flesh eating bacteria"!

Hey fishinpox, how is your buddy's foot doing. Have you heard any more info...just wondering if he is recovering OK...

Good thing he went straight to the docs or it couldve ended up much worse. Quick medical attention is the key to this not happening....

Capt Mike McBrides stingray wound after 24 hours and no medical attention.
