Process of Elimination

Ok, guys, how do you go? When nature calls I cannot say "no" for very long. At a lake I just pull over to the shore and go in an empty Gatorade bottle. (when people are within eye-shot)

What do you do on the float???

For the most part I've been able to kick back to shore and make it to the restrooms. In case that doesn't work, over the rail and splash it away   Cumberlands are super stable...

Get a pair of waders with a zipper

true story, i had a friend that use to go in his waders, kept him nice and warm and I finally figured out why he always went home with his waders on. Then he finally told me.

Condum Cath and leg bag  

No I just rush it back to shore, but most often I try to squeeze every drop out before i get in the water, and don't drink a few ours before I get in and not until I am st my last hour of fishing.

Got that! How does that help? Yeah, access is easier. Still got to get the job done. So far there is not much help here!   I have only learned how to keep my feet warm!

I also have zipper waders, I just zip it down and leak into the water under the apron.

That makes sense to me, zip and wiz.

Yeah, if you have a 20 year old's flow. The dribbles would be a problem.

Here is a method I have heard of, but have not tried.

The material list: 1- 14" piece of 2" diameter pvc pipe. Threaded on one end.
1- slip-fit 2" pvc cap.
1- threaded 2" pvc cap.
(for larger bladder capacity use longer tube)

Procedure: Assemble the parts.
Slide apparatus down pant leg, with threaded end removed.
Empty bladder into the apparatus.
Thread on the cap.
Remove apparatus from pants.

This is all easier with earlier mentioned zippered waders. (so I'm told)

I like the title of this thread! it's very appropriate... I just kick back to shore if I am wearing waders but if I'm at Perris in the heat summer in board shorts I contribute to the water supply

That sounds like it would hurt  

I battled with this issue for a while when I first started tube fishing. It does not help that I have a baby bladder!!! Also, since I drive far to get to the good fishing spots there is no way I could leave early in the morning without filling up with coffee.

That said, I keep a wide mouth aluminum water bottle on me. The thin kind with a threaded cap work best. I wear loose waders and loose fitting clothes underneath. When the time comes, I stuff the bottle down one leg of my waders, handle business and cap it off before I try and remove the bottle. This eliminates any unfortunate spillage. Then you can choose the appropriate time and place to empty the bottle. This technique has saved me on several occasions.

Helpful Hint: Clearly mark your water bottle with Sharpie or paint!!!

This has been done various way, including the condom and bladder approach. However, most economical is your PVC approach, empty to an empty IV bag (used or new) that can be capped, stored at the calf level.

Also a good idea with the aforementioned Gatorade bottle!

Are you serious!!... I'm glad I didn't have to give that cat a ride home. Lol. I usually hold it as long as I can. In 2 instances I have loosened up my waders and lean back a bit and try to rainbow into the pacific. Yeah!!! You get a little tinkle on your hand but that happens when I drink. No biggie. That's what your shirt is for...RIGHT?
