Re: Winter water entry/launch - methods and footwear

Great thread - as this will be my first winter kayak fishing (hopefully... p*ss off COVID) I have purchased some Shark Skin socks cheap, and also got some waterproof pants (with socks) and I think i'll try some dive boots or crocs over the top. Interested to see what everyone else does.
