TL;DR:<\/strong> Shore fishing sits are wet, sloped, and full of sand that eats feet. A folding stool here is a dry seat and a stable triangle, not a backpacking trophy. Choose discs or wide feet, a height you can stand from with stiff waders, and a frame you will rinse of salt. If the bank is a dune, the stool may lose to a bucket. Buckets have area. Area is the whole shoreline physics.<\/p>\n

Slope is the first opponent<\/h2>\n

River banks lean. Two feet downhill, two up, or you perch. Perching is a lever into the water. Water is cold. Cold plus a tip is a story with a rod in it. Sit across the slope when you can. Across is a choose of patch, not a brand. Brands do not level dirt. Dirt is a hunt. Hunt a flatter bite even if it is two meters from the \u201cperfect\u201d cast. Casts can walk. Sits should not. Not is a stool that stays. Stays is locked joints plus a tug. Tug was the setup article. Tug on mud too. Mud hides walking joints. Walking joints plus a fish on are a swim. Swim. Don\u2019t. Tug. Then sit in the bowl, not the front lip, while you lean at a bucket of bait. Bait leans are levers. Levers were cooking. Cooking is a cousin. Cousin. Middle of the seat. Middle. Alive. Alive is a dry shirt. Shirts are a spec. Specs can be dignity. Dignity is not a 300 lb hangtag. Hangtags were plywood. Plywood is not a bank. Banks derate. Derate. Discs. Or a bucket. Buckets are legal. Legal is catching fish from a pail. Pails do not fold. Fold is optional if the pail already lives in the kit. Kit. Honest. Honest is why some anglers never buy a stool. Never is a ranking. Ranking is sits you will do. Sits on a steep clay bank may be zero. Zero is leave the stool in the truck. Trucks are shoreline\u2019s trunk. Trunks were car-camp. Car-camp is this sport more than ultralight. Ultralight feet vanish in silt. Silt is a disc country. Country. Stay.<\/p>\n

Sand, silt, and salt<\/h2>\n

Sand is the sink article\u2019s preview. Preview: small feet make holes, frames twist, ratings leave town. Town was the lab. Lab. Discs, a board, or move to wet packed sand that is harder. Harder is near the waterline after a wave. Waves also steal stools. Steal is a leash. Leash is a cheap cord to a bag, not to your ankle if a surge hits. Ankles plus stools are a drowning gadget. Gadgets should not wear you. Wear a cord to a cooler. Coolers stay. Stay. If you fish surf, consider no stool. No is a valid choose. Choose is the first camping article\u2019s zero. Zero is a cooler lid. Lids have area. Area. Physics. You knew.<\/p>\n

Salt fog eats steel pins. Pins were year two. Year two on a jetty is month two. Month is a rinse. Rinse in freshwater when you get home, joints open, dry. Dry is a hang. Hang is not a sealed wet sack. Wet sacks rust. Rust is a warranty fight you will lose if you stored it wet. Wet is this paragraph\u2019s villain. Villain. Rinse. Aluminum prefers this country. Steel can visit if you are religious about oil and rinse. Religion is a chore. Chores are a choose. Choose aluminum if you are not religious. Religious people can buy steel tanks. Tanks are full-size in the truck. Trucks. Again. Shoreline is not a 20 L pack. Packs were hiking. Hiking is a different water. Water here is spray. Spray is UV plus salt. UV weakens seats. Seats chalky: retire. Retire was the replace article, later. Later. Touch the fabric. Touch is a spec. Spec is not grams. Grams are a joke with a tackle box. Boxes are heavy. Heavy is the kit. Kit already lost ultralight. Lost. Sit well. Well is height you can stand from in waders. Waders add bulk. Bulk is a hallway test with extra pants. Pants. Stack books. Sit. Stand. If you fail, higher stool or a bucket with a handle. Handles are stand-aids. Aids. Allowed.<\/p>\n

Rods, hooks, and kids<\/h2>\n

Do not plant a rod in a way that a tipped stool becomes a spear. Spears are geometry. Geometry is hook plus your thigh. Thighs are a child-safe issue even if no child is present. Present is a buddy\u2019s kid who runs. Runs are festivals later. Later. Here: keep the hook away from the sit path. Path is stand, step, cast. Cast. Stool behind you, not between you and the water if a surge comes. Surge: you move inland, stool can drown. Drown is a $40 lesson. Lesson is leash to the cooler, not hero retrieval in a wave. Waves. Don\u2019t. Fish. Sit. Tug. Disc. Rinse. That is the shoreline stool. Stool is optional. Optional is a bucket. Bucket. Or a collapsible with wide feet<\/a> you actually rinse, which is the only fishing stool that is not a rust sculpture, which is a chair, which is dry, which is middle, which is across the slope, which is not a perch toward the pan of bait, which is a lever, which is a swim, which you will not take, which is the point, which is still fishing, which is standing a lot, which is why the sit must be easy to enter and leave, which is height, which you copied from a chair plus waders, which is a hallway, which is cheap, which is this blog\u2019s religion, which includes salt, which is a rinse, which is tonight, which is before the sack, which is dry, which is enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
