the good thing-down here-is the gulf stays pretty warm most all year. the bays are shallow and even after a real cold spell--for down here boys, our winters doan compare nuthin to tha ones ya'll have up there close to santy claus--the bottom warms and tha fish come on up to sun and feed. i wade in jan, feb,and march without much discomfort at all. tha water temp is warmer tha tha air temp- and after ya wade a minute or two yor ol body warms frum tha wadin an tossin and sun. gets to be pretty plesant an there not a lotta folks roun ta bother ya.
