I think the answer is that he is an owner of the ODC 616 he mentions above or some other pontoon, NOT the "hybrid" Discovery. The bottom of the 616 frame clears the water by about 2 inches, but the seating position is about 4 inches above. The ODC seat only has the one fixed position. So to lower the position, you can try another seat that is thinner on the bottom, use less buoyancy by sewing up part of the existing pontoons or try smaller pontoons. The frame can also be altered to lower the position as he mentioned.
Hope this helps.

[quote flygoddess]Pontoon, you keep saying he is sitting in the water. He posted that he ISN'T. Infact he says he is sitting WAY out of the water.
And again, I don't know how you are kicking, but I think of it as a child on the foot in a seated position, and raising the child. Scooping! You don't need to move very far.
Or as others here, lean back and flutter like a swimmer. (I have tried it and it does work on calm water)[

Pictures would help.
NOW< as far as waders.......RUBBER!!!. You were in, what like 40 degree water....that is normal here.
I don't wear Neoprene and haven't for years. I DO fish year round. If the water isn't frozen, then it is the upper 30's. Do able.
I wear BREATHABLES and I have fished in 20 degrees and been warm. The KEY WORD is BREATHABLE. You sweat, you get cold. NO COTTON under any wader as it.....you guessed it, it doesn't BREATH.
NEOPRENES are considerably cheaper though. Really suck in the summer.[/quote]
