Out of all the waders I have ever had the Cabelas Super Mags are the best. They are warm during early duck season, but are a life saver in late season. They hold up the best to everything I have thrown at them. rocks, grass, trees, boat, dog, tailgates and russian olives. I know it doesnt get as cold down there as it does here, so maybe look at the non super option. I wear them fishing as well, but again, our waters are much colder than yours.
