[QUOTE="richg99, post: 218407, member: 4376"] In South Texas, wade fishing is king. Hot, shallow, soupy salt water bays seem to hold a lot of the flesh eating bacteria. Just about every year, we hear of someone losing a limb or dying from it. I used to wade "wet"..i.e. just a pair of shorts and a tee shirt. Now, when I wade ( which, at my age isn't often) I always wear a pair of light-weight waders, even thought the hot water temperatures do not require any covering at all. I've heard that most of the people who were [u]severely[/u] stricken had low immune system issues....i.e. cold; flu; or bad kidneys etc. I don't know. Better to be safe than sorry. Rich [/QUOTE]
