Re: wading belts... Man: that's a hard one.  I prefer the Simms Dry Creek Bags, but I never keep fish so I don't need a stringer.  The Foreverlast belts are good and I think William and Oseph makes a good one that dad swears on.Good luck, man.

Debris from Dolly Howdy.  A group of us come down every year, for the last 25 years.  Last year the debris from Dolly made fishing the West shoreline almost impossible.  Is the debris still a problem?also, one in our group likes to drown croakers, the rest of us throw...
