Thanks! I've looked for a close Academy (since I've only been there once, and spent 2 hours just looking around), since I really liked the store, and plan to buy a pair of waist-highs (but none close, or on the way to the next stop). Being new to Kayak fishing this year, I've been on the water enough to feel more than comfortable in it, but this particular Lake I believe is what got me into trouble. That said however, I love it here no less (except the dang wind!) While I have to admit I'm extremely "nervous" about Kayaking here, I'll be more relaxed elsewhere (next stop being Sardis). Still hoping to get the chance at a few more Crappie here, weather permitting (wind more so than rain).
I never get too far from "home" (camp) simply for the fact I don't have it in me to do so (physically), but if I did, I'd likely do the same, and carry a change of clothes.
