If I were wearing Crocs, alone in my own home, I'd
embarrassed myself. For one thing, I don't wear bright
pastel colored shoes. For another thing, I don't wear
plastic bright pastel colored dorky looking shoes.

But since this is rec.boats and this thread is titled
boat shoes, like I said previously, my vote is for bare
feet. What in the hell do you need shoes for on a boat?
Unless you're in Alaska.

But hey, if they work for you... whatever blows your
skirt up.
Fish hooks and fish spines are hard on bare feet.
You have fish spines on the deck of your boat? Are
you eating the fish raw and throwing their bones
wherever they land? Are you not strong enough to
get them past the gunwale?

Kidding aside... it sounds like either you're a
commercial fisherman, messy, or take lots of alcohol
with you when you're fishing. But then again, I
guess I know plenty of people that qualify for all
three.

Never drink on the boat. And when a rockcod gets on the deck, those dorsal
spines will do a number on you. Like a Sculpin is part of the scorpion fish
family. I use boots when fishing tuna, as there are hooks and flapping tuna
on decks at times. Seems as if you are not very versed in fishing.

Not too many tuna where I'm from. We have some rock cod up here
but they usually call them rockfish and they're not really a cod,
but they are pretty spiny. As far as cod goes, there's a lot more
ling and true cod. My fish of choice is salmon, trout and sometimes
stealhead. And crab, clams and oysters are plentiful around here
but you can't exactly call it fishing. It's more like what you do
on your way to, and coming back from, fishing.

Not versed in fishing? I have enough tackle to outfit half a dozen
guys and have been fishing all over the Pacific Northwest for 50
years. And for the most part, barefoot.
