Look at what Stetzko does 10 to 30 feet from the wash ....
I think we wade and rock hop too much at times and muck up the kitchen the bass are wanting to come into. And I`m still repeatedly guilty of this.
Not rock hopping but wading too much.

I let the water depth/tide determine that for me, if there is good water in the boulder field to work and produce fish yeah no need to enter the kitchen. But if it's low water with lots of exposed rocks/boulders and bubbleweed all over that's just to low to hold fish (you know what I'm talking about, that 1-2 ' and less stuff) and I can walk/wade this junk to get out and work the remaining boneyard and cast beyond the breakers and work my offering back through it (getting back into the productive water) than that's when I feel it's what you do and that's where it's worth having the korkers. |

It is always better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them, I just changed the screws and I am bringing mine anyways.

I'm going leave the korkers at home based on those that experienced the island first hand. In place of the korkers I can pack food and beverages.

They'll be in my back but sounds like they'll stay there.

I wore the bean boots with the aquastealth spikes and was pretty happy with them. I took a couple falls while manuvering to keep fish out of the rocks but luckily I was out to my waist so the water caught me, not the rocks. Kind of wish I wore them because they would have allowed me to climb a few rocks that I couldn't get up without them. I miss that place already.

I did not wear them the first night and regretted it. Had them on the second night. I like having the extra support on the bottom and the added grip for casting from rocks. Also the Korker 1100's are pretty light so I don't feel like they slow me down.
