Christ, when I surf fished (for like 40 years), we put on waders, a rubber top and Korker sandles and we fished. Period!
We got wet every night. We fell down we got bruised up. That was surf fishing. I read some of these posts and I think you guys need to encase yourselves in a plexiglass bubble.
Oh I know! Here it comes. All the defenders of technology and how I'm an old bast**D who hasn't grown with the times. I'm ready pipsqueeks.   |
Piemma,
I agree. I sense that much of the new crowd start surfcasting by thinking they have to get out to that last rock to catch a bass. I call them "I wanna be a boat". I watch some of them swim through cow filled boulder fields trying to get to that last rock. Many of them haven't gone through that learning curve of finding out why bass like shallow water.
Surfcasters with years of experience like you probably started out with short boots/splash pants and chest high waders hence had to learn to fish shallow. Although I personally use a wet suit from time to time so far I haven't had the inclination or had to resort to actually swimming to a rock to find bass.
To each his own.
