Hopping Out Of The Boat

X2 on the hook n line maps and ladders if you have high sides.Th older you get it gets a little harder to jump over the sides.

Yeah, HOOK-N-LINE wade maps, and get out and see. Coves are more likely to be muddy and the farther back you go the boggier as a rule. Some more than others. I like my long ladder, but I'm 60 and 5' 7" and over weight. If you are young and it's not so deep, you can jump on in. But, that can be a problem with a boat with high sides.

Our big bay boat we carry a ladder cause it has high sides. It has a swim ladder too... my flats boat I just step right in

Use the Hook-N-Line map and it shows you all the good wading areas.

We just got a boat this past summer and so far have not hopped out of it yet and had a few questions.
1-Is there a website or map that tells you what the bottom like in certain coves or ares that we may want to wade?
2-Do those of you that have boats with fairly high sides have wading ladders of just jump back in?
Thanks-TT
