For Muddy situations we use a product called Mudders, I think Cabalas has
them. They allow you to walk on mud that you would not usually be able to .
You lash them to your foot wear and away you go. I got mine at a local
fishing store. Could not find them on the web , but found some interesting
stuff.No Fla. doen't have mud but we go to Ga. and it is nothing but a red
muddy state.
