Thread: wading

Only when I fall out of the boat in water shallow enough to wade back or to the bank seriously yes when I was younger I really worked the farm ponds over allmost allways wading encountered lots of moccassins that way and I am to slow to get out of way now.

I have waded for bass in the shallows during the spawn. Its alot of fun until you run into the snakes like noslab said.

Tried it once, found out i'm much better from a boat!!!!!

Best fishing I have had was wading the St. Francis for spotted bass. Also waded the watershed lakes for some big old bass

I've done a lot of wade fishing for smallmouths in the Mulberry River. The most relaxing day possible is spent waist deep in a cool pool on a hot August day.

In my younger days I waded alot of streams and creeks,The walk back to the truck would in most cases you'd be covered in seed ticks.

Have tried a couple times with no luck, but last year we were at Horseshoe, and there was a couple guys in the trees with us that were wading, and they were smoking 'em. He had two of the telescoping poles, on in each hand, and a jig tied on both. He would fish both sides of the tree and if a crappie took one of the jigs, he simply dropped the other pole and landed the fish.

I used to wade Eagle Lake in Mississippi, in my younger day. We would wear them out starting in March thru the first of May. They just could not stand it if you dropped a jig in front of them while they were in the buck brush.
