Plan for the worst and hope for the best.
Put some thought into how you would get yourself out of a jam. Determine the proper sequence of actions to get out of the gear that you can't swim with should you fall off the jetty and get swept out to sea. Then consider you may have to do it under water while holding your breath. Maybe test your plan in your buddy's pool.
Look around, get familiar with the conditions, and identify potential hazards and escape routes before you lose yourself in the joy of fishing.
Carry a sheath knife you can use one handed.
Beware striped kitties!
