I got a wetsuit this year to swim to this rock at night.
All my best fish have been because of it this year.
There are some pro and cons.
The biggest pro is you do not have to worry about getting wet and the freedom that gives is worthwhile. It is a rush to be in the water and a wave over your head can even be fun. It will also protect you from falls, a little bit
The biggest downside for me is you have to take a leak in it. That leads to rashes and a very unpleasant stink.
Depending on your style of fishing it is a great tool and I wish I had one before.
