Yes can do. I did it about 3 years ago. 44 deg. water, tennis shoes and blue jeans.
Had to turn the boat around and push to deeper water. Dude I had with me was his first time in Big Lake.
I was just South of Rabbit Island. I ran there the evening before, looking for clear water, with no issues.
NW winds came in over night and low tide. BAM. 35 mph to 0 mph in about 15 ft.
Had no choice, but to get out and push, or sit till night time and hope the winds calmed down and tide came in.
Picture is on here somewhere.

This was the dude with me. He had waders with him.
The picture was taken after the boat was turned around.
Boat weighs 1960 lbs dry. Sitting hard on bottom of a reef.
We fished till 1 pm after this snafu.

Wow, I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I wasn't about to get out and push.

No one else could get to us. And we wasn't scared.
Winds were in the mid 20 mph's.
Temps were in the lower 40's.
Water temps was in the mid 40's.
Only clear water we found was 6" deep, right were that pic was taken.

Only good thing about this trip, the dude was 6'4" and 250 lbs. That helped a lot.
