I realize this is probably a rehash of old topic, but I would like to start fishing the delta in the winter and need to know if there's something I can buy for around 100 dollars that will work? Please help an old man new to the sport.
Thanks, Yak

Neopreme waders keep you dry and warm. My concern is, should I fell in, it would take on water and become a safety hazard. So I only wear mine in calm conditions and when doing so I put on a waist belt to stop water filling up the bottom. Does anyone have bad experience with kayaking in waders?

Neoprene waders would work fine, if you get one without booties attached, or removable, or just plain ol' cut them off.  As long as water can drain, you should be fine.  Just buy some river shoes or neoprene booties.

The neoprene waders that fit tight haven't filled with water in my swim adventures from the yak :smt044 If you go to far out in cold weather, invest in a nice dry suit. Don't push the envelope :smt009 We (yak fisherman) push it far enough just going out in the middle of all our gear. Enough tears shed this year. Safety first, then fish :smt006

Don't spend too much now.  Breathable waders with wading shoes work fine too with fleece underneath..... Invest in a drysuit down the line for real peace of mind.
