Thanks to those who gave me pointer and advice.
I got in the water for the first time on my tbe yesterday. I hit a couple of small ponds in a State WMA. Took me a while to get the hang of moving exactly where I wanted to go (it was pretty windy) and Iwas a bit noisy with the fins, but it was great. I was able to fish areas I never could have reached from shore with a fly rod and also able to cast in toward reeds and brush, etc. from deeper water and hit spots I couldn't have any other way.
I caught about 30 bass, 15 crappie and a bunch of nice sized gills. I also used muscles I haven't in 20 years. and between that and I my awkwardness with the fins it was quite a workout. I'm stiff as heck today.
