Wildbillb Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 What do you guys wear fishing when it is raining. I have a good rain suit to keep me dry, but I am wondering about something for my feet. I would rather not wear a pair of my hunting boots fishing to keep my feet dry in the rain. What do you guys where to keep those feet dry? I hate wet feet, but I am not stopping fishing for anything short of lightening. ETA..I forgot the important part........I wear a 14. Quote
Dave P Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 Gortex boots, 8 inch or knee high rubber boots. Depends on the temp. Quote
jokerjp Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 I have a pair of Lacrosse Hawthornes in the boat for rain, super comfortable and dry. http://www.amazon.com/LaCrosse-Hawthorne-200050-Waterproof-Boots/dp/B004VV1B2U Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 Older pair of Gortex duty boots,3/4 high. Warm, dry and a gel insole makes them comfortable all day. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 5, 2012 Global Moderator Posted May 5, 2012 Cheap pair of rubber boots works for me. If it's warm enough I prefer to just were sandals instead. Quote
zildjian Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 Muck boots! I have the "Arctic" for the snow. But I use them everytime I go fishing too. Love mucks Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted May 5, 2012 Super User Posted May 5, 2012 Hmmm, going barefoot, esp when it rains 1 Quote
HLNichols Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 If you can't find rubber boots in size 14, and you don't want to order online, you can always just wrap your feet 4 inches thick of duct tape. That's what I do when I am feeling barbaric/primitive. Quote

Super User Bassn Blvd Posted May 5, 2012 Super User Posted May 5, 2012 Hmmm, WHERE are the shoes I WEAR when it's raining? I wear an older pair of sneakers or flip flops when I go fishing and don't care if they get wet. I don't care about my feet getting wet, either, unless it's COLD. Here in S.Florida, most peeps don't go outside when it's COLD and raining. Quote

Super User Sam Posted May 6, 2012 Super User Posted May 6, 2012 HL Nicols, I think you have been hit upside the head too many times playing Lacrosse!!!! I wear Duck Shoes or in the warmer months, I coutinue to wear my Bill Dance shoes which are very comfortable and dry fast. I will also be shopping for some waist high waders which will keep me dry from the waist down. Quote

Cold and wet toes can spoil any fishing trip. Haha, I thought my toes/feet would be warm in two pair of socks when it got down to the 40's, but my dumb ars didn't think abpot the cold cutting through my mesh sneakers. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted May 6, 2012 Super User Posted May 6, 2012 I fish barefoot when the temps are above 70. When below, I wear tennis shoes, and below 60, I wear boots. If it happens to rain in between the 60-70 temps, I normally just wear my boots. Jeff Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 If its warm I have a pair of Lacrosse rubber boots. Cold I use a pair of Danner hunting boots that are gore tex. If its really warm I wear sandles. Quote
