Yup and add a few 50s and a 67 to that.....Never waded in his life!

Years ago chunking in a quiet back bay spot:

two baitrunners spiked and I couldn`t keep up with the hits so went to one rod I held.

one year later fishing with four guys all wading out as far as we could, same spot.... some action but not nearly as good sitting on shore.

Look at what Stetzko does 10 to 30 feet from the wash ....

I think we wade and rock hop too much at times and muck up the kitchen the bass are wanting to come into. And I`m still repeatedly guilty of this.
Not rock hopping but wading too much.

Far to many surf fisherman have the need to be out "just a little more" if they only realized the fish they were leaving behind......When it gets to that point just do what I did, Buy a boat and you can scratch the itch to be just a bit farther anytime you want...... I spend maybe 4 nights in the surf now and 3 in the baot, I love it and its a blast..works out just right for me, when I am on them good from the beach I stay with that, a couple of bad nights and I crank up the boat.

i always bring 'em, but never wear 'em on cutty.

I let the water depth/tide determine that for me, if there is good water in the boulder field to work and produce fish yeah no need to enter the kitchen. But if it's low water with lots of exposed rocks/boulders and bubbleweed all over that's just to low to hold fish (you know what I'm talking about, that 1-2 ' and less stuff) and I can walk/wade this junk to get out and work the remaining boneyard and cast beyond the breakers and work my offering back through it (getting back into the productive water) than that's when I feel it's what you do and that's where it's worth having the korkers.

It is always better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them, I just changed the screws and I am bringing mine anyways.

I'm going leave the korkers at home based on those that experienced the island first hand. In place of the korkers I can pack food and beverages.

They'll be in my back but sounds like they'll stay there.

So now that the first timers are home..... what do you think?
