I fish mostly alone on the rocks under the bluffs on BI. Managed to fracture a hip in a fall in weedy rocks a few years ago, and have become more conservative. Still get cleaned off a rock occasionally, but don't generally find that that last few yards is worth dying for. You're usually casting beyond the fish anyway.
Did buy an automatic Mustang PFD, and joke with my wife that it is so she can recover the body, collect the insurance, and not have to wonder if I wandered off with another woman...
