My story-
last year I almost died out on hazard ave... it was after one of the hurricanes came though offshore..(i forget the name) ANyway, It was ight before dusk, the bass had the bait pinned right up to the rocks, and I decided I should go cast from Indain Rock... It would have been perfect, I watched the waves for about 10 minutes before i chose to go out there, thinking that if I stood in the usual place I like to stand I'd be o.k.... Well, about 20 minuts later, this wave about twice the size of the others came in and took out my legs, I bounced down the rocks over the bubbleweed, the water from the wave was over my head as I was sliding down. Something clicked in my head and I instinctivly thrust the butt of my rod downward and it caught in a crack in the rocks, which kept me from going into the water.. As soon as I stopped sliding, I scrambled up, just as the next wave came in. Agian I used the butt to hold the rocks, and when that wave started its sweep out, I finally got to safety..
I still fish there, just little more cautiously
