depends on who i am with and where i am fishing. when im alone I don't push as hard as when im with others. I fish mostly rocky shores, like squibby and the north shore of the vineyard, so i like to wade out and hop onto a rock. i get uncomfortable when i feel like the waves have control of me. I dont mind getting knocked off a rock if i know whats around me. i can always hop back on....
thank god for dry tops though.
