What is your comfort level....

I've mainly fished in very rocky areas so it basically depends on the surf. I wear a Simms support belt, surf pullover then another belt over my jacket, so if it's calm, I'll go fairly deep to get to that next perch..

I have to agree some other posts and when I start to feel uncomfortable I move, especially when I'm alone. I can remember fishing a sandy bar that had recently formed off a point, as the tide started to come in ,certain spots on the bar became quicksand. I sunk down above my knees and had a difficult time getting out. The water on the bar was only 4" deep!
