I hate bibs. So was thinking of getting a pair of waterproof pants instead of bibs. Is that a terrible idea?
I also hate PVC rain gear, I always rip it quick. Was looking at some stuff on bigcamo.com that is breathable instead. I know itll be stained and smelly when I'm done, but the cost is low enough that I dont mind if its relegated to fish only stuff.
Am I going to regret breathable pants/bibs?

PVC all the way...I wear them pretty much all the time fishing. Don't want my clothes or me to smell like fish.. especially tuna.
I've got 10 years on a pair of Carhartt rain bins. And I'm rough on my gear..just getting to the point to replace them.

Goodwill trip for anything cloth, toss after the trip. Find the cheapest raingear you can find, I found some for under 10 bucks for bibs, hose off and hang outside for about 2 wks. Whatever you do, do not wash your clothes. Ruins the next few loads of clothes
That's what I do but figured I was the lone ranger on that method. Why destroy hundreds of dollars worth of stuff when you can just pitch the whole outfit in the trash and not have to pack it home?

You only do the other way once, so what if my jeans are short legged, and I have a Donald duck shirt, the tuna don't care

White t-shirt, wear bibs if you have them, take advil before you leave the dock. Don't stop cant stop on a bite even to admire your fish. 30 seconds can cost you a fish. Prep for the trip by getting jacked and watching battlefish on netflix.

Question for those that have the experience. Will boots like bogs or muck boots work or will they stink too much after wards? Kinda sounds like I need to buy a cheap pair of actual rubber boots?
Thanks
hopefully they don't stink too bad. I cannot find a pair of rubber boots in size 16 that fits my foot and calves worth a dang. so muck or bogs it will be!

was thinking about buying these bibs, as I will really only need these once or twice. I live in eastern Washington, and don't make it out fishing where I need bibs over here. any thoughts?

yeah I'm being a bit of a tightwad here, but I also need a bigger size, and they are hard to come by. Helly Hansen makes a set of bibs I like in a size I need, but they are out of stock everywhere I look. was thinking the ones I linked to are cheap enough to use and toss if needed, and would let me try out offshore fishing without dropping 100+ on a set of bibs.

I'd be surprised if you couldn't run by the local Ranch and Home and pick up a pair of cheapo rubber bibs.Well I've got some of the cheap yellow bibs, but they tend to fall apart so fast I didnt think they would work.
I need a 5x usually in bibs, and those are hard to come by locally too.

Anyone care to comment on the fit and quality of those? do they run big or small?

Just wear clothes you don’t care about. It’ll be fine.
Some charters require rain gear. That way they can hose you off and you dont get blood and slime in the cabin.
