I've fished in a wet suit on and off(no pun) for about 20 years now and started using them way back then when no-one ,save for Montauker's, used them for surf fishing in RI. I originally bought my fisrt suit based on the recommendation of a RI surf fisherman friend who was a transplanted New Yorker who routinely fished Montauk. He talked me in to getting one which I did and found it to be invaluable for fishing(comfortably) some surf spots were I always ended up getting wet when I fished them with waders.I also used it to swim to so "off-shore" spots which were unaccessable to wader fishermen. I did OK in the wet suit but can"t say it was that much more productive than "regular" surf casting in waders or hip boots and splash pants. Although I didn't really "push the envolope" like some do. It was safer though and easy to pee. It was kind ofa pain to get on and off. All and all, I think every surfcaster should try it and really don't think there should be a separate division for such fishing.
