wading out to cast further

Big Dave · 04-10-2008, 10:45 PM

<P align=left>When fishing for Redfish do most fishermen wade out as far as possible to cast or do they stay on the sand? Last November I was wading out as usual and a Bull Shark came agressively close really close in. Ate the end of my rod before I could get back to sand. I was only thigh deep. Been reluctant to wade out since.<P align=left>Big Dave

Bull sharks are allways there. Just kick them out of the way. (LOL) No ,,really ,, you only have to worry if you hear the music....... just be carful . If there is bait in close I dont wade out to far. Many times have been on the peir and seen bulls swiming in closer than people.

There was lots of bait in the water that day, including me! I'll listen for the music next time.

Thanks,

When the surf is flat and the fish are feeding further out I will wade out a good ways to cast into the 2nd gut.

With a shark that close I think that I might just cast form the sand. I like my legs.

I'm usually a little daring and wade out pretty far. I havent had any scares but I know eventually it will happen. Now that you mention, I might second guess my next venture out. haha

I freaked my wife out the other day because I was wading out to cast & got to about4' of water& started to cast.....well when I was casting a crab decided he wanted to pinch the $#!% out of me & I jumped like crazy & started trying to pull it off my foot. My wife had no idea what was happening...thought something was trying to eat me! She almost killed me when I made it back to my chair!

sharks still scare the shit out of me... well, swimming with them at least.

forget wading out to cast farther...i only get in the water to pee!

I wade out a little when the water is warm and clear. Never when it is murky. I'm pretty wary (i.e. chicken). Like the comedian Kevin James said, I scream the same whether a great white is attacking me, or when a piece of seaweed brushes against my leg.
