Submitted by rainbow on Sun, 2008-08-03 22:02
Hi Guys, The time is drawing near were i have to make big decisions about what I bring over to Capel as we are driving over in a Toyota hiace 12 seater bus & what doesnt fit doesnt get the trip!
I have a really good set of thigh waders & need you to tell me if I will likely need em or maybe should put them in our GIANT POQ 2 WA garage sale ? Maybe some of you fellas use em for crabbing?

Or bream fishing some inlets etc. Sometimes the drop offs (where the bream abush) are well away from banks and across flats. They are are on my wanted list.

Hi Ya,
I'd bring them as they are good when wading the river. Got to admit that I chickened out and bought a pair after having crabs nibble my toes, blowies bite my legs and finally a big cobbler swim within a metre of me (separate trips).
cheers.
