Why to wade...

[SGib]

Never waded other than in the surf. Really thinking about giving it a shot pretty soon. Any cool story or why y'all like to wade would be appreciated.

You don't appear to be much taller than W. Might wanna stick to outgoing tide conditions.








J/K, bud.

You might could get by with the first couple hours of a risin' tide, then.

I tell you what. Go for a wade with a buddy. Tie on a top water, maybe a corky. Once you get the initial blowup and find yourself in a battle with the fish you've been looking for, let me know how you feel about wading! haha.

Captain Bruce, Mr Drost and Kevin Cochran are what I consider elite status on this particular subject. I've learned a lot from these guys. The only one I haven't met personally is Mr Drost. Hopefully that might change here in the future.

Its peaceful, no fighting with a trolling motor to hold position, and its all you and the elements! It heightens your awareness of whats happening around you and I seem to be a whole lot more focused on working an area thoroughly. Not to mention you get to learn the bottom contours and slight ditches in any given area. I belive that I am personally a better angler after discovering wading. Doesn't get much better than that. best of luck. It would be interesting to hear back from you afterwards. Straight up addicting!

Wheres that? Id love to try some wade fishing but i have no idea where to go

[PUREBAY2200]

Wading is fun.
Never did it b4 I came over to big lake.
John Solari taught me a lot; he is a great wader!
It very calming and peaceful to walk and fish.
The right gear help make it more enjoyable.
Landing a fish while wading takes a lil practice.... I lost 5-6 b4 I finally landed one.
Good luck!!

DRAG YOUR FEET, best advice for wading. do not step or walk. once you step on a stingray its all over. dragging your feet you will push him and make him move. i used to wade all tge time castnetting mullet and after that id fish broken piers off the beach.wading is fun and definitely " cool" in the summer

Wading is a blast. Caught my PB last November wading. Had one break the line that would have put it to shame. It's fun to wade. That being said, I don't know if I would wade in the summer...too many jellyfish and stingrays.

Make sure you wade where the ground is able to hold you, I almost got stuck in mud up to my knees..hit a really soft patch.
