Know your limits - I don't feel comfortable when there is an expanse of deep water to the next rock - if I have to swim forget it. Like Pete mentioned in a past thread on the topic - the CG may be called in for a rescue or worse yet - a recovery - just a matter of time. If you have second thoughts - DON'T do it.

I have a boat and use a kayak but i love to fish from the surf skishing and swimming out to rocks are two different things.I agree know your limitations and let common sense prevail.When i'm to old to do this anymore i want to sit back and say to myself hell that was one hell of a ride.Tight lines...
