wade fishermen wear shoes

[fishinpox]

my buddy just sent me these pics last sunday he was struck by what he belives was a stingray he went to the hospital to get closed up they cleaned him up gave him meds and closed it up 3 days later his foot was swolen, red , and he could not walk. they had to re open it scrape the bone re clean it put a few stiches in it and install a pump that removes the puss all day he also has a permant iv in his arm which he has to give himself iv meds. so moral of the story wear shoes not flip flops in the water

When You think about salt water fishing :Remember this there is nothing out there that won't fin you, stick you, bite you and lastly eat you.On the other hand I 've been a wader for along time as well as a mutiple boat owner.

Since they have finally started making them big enough I have been wearing the Everlast wading boots and Ray Guards.

[Big Kahunaz]

Must be that "flesh eating bacteria"!

[cmdrost]

rayguards are the only thing that will protect you. tennis shoes, neoprene boots(what i use), etc, will not stop a ray. Rayguards from what I've heard are terribly uncomfortable.

You at least want a wade boot that protects your foot from general stuff, oysters, rocks, crab traps, jellyfish, etc.
