[QUOTE=rizzo][QUOTE=#^^^^^^&]Only problem is when you swim out to those rocks "neck deep" you have left all the good fish behind you
I disagree 100%. I cast before I swim out to spots and get the skunk. I get out farther and more often than not the fish are there. They like the cover of depth in addition the structure I'm fishing. I did not realize how much i was missing out!
Buy a boat

and lighten up!
I have had many nights like the one described by you above, acually I just had one tonight!! and not so much as my boots got wet.............. So take it easy I was kiddin ya, but you should look into a tin boat
