Proper Shoes for the Canal?

[NIB]

I like felts...

I like the felts too. And if you are not going below the slime line, you are going to miss an awful lot of good fishing.

I wear felts also - waders at night. Knee boots if I am there when daybreaks. Keep in mind that you have to pick your spots and be sure you can land a fish there. I think most fishermen who fall or get hurt fishin the ditch do so going down to land a decent fish. I and most fishing the canal take two rods with us down on the rocks..One in each hand to steady yourself. There are no fish in the ditch

I love the ditch, and will hit the ditch. :-)

Nothing like chunkin' bait, tossin a line, and stickin' your pole in between the rocks, and watch all the boats go by during the day or enjoy the silence of the night.

I usually try to go during high tide if possible, so that I don't have to wander down below the waterline where it gets slippery.

And I don't like waders, the rubbery feel gives me the jeebies. :-)
