Mark if you get a wet suit there's no telling where you'll end up going. I've already seen boats pull up to you thinking your a lobster pot buoy or channel buoy.

Jay,
I don't deep wade anymore. This year I started realizing my own mortality when I walked 200 yards to the end of a jetty during a moon tide and got stuck. Trying to get back I stepped off the submerged jetty and was treading water for a wee bit. Didn't panic just realized what an a...ole I was for not not keeping an eye on the rising water. I just want a suit because there are no waders out there I have any faith in. That and to get to a rock about 30 yards offshore that 3 fish broke me off on last year....

i got a 5mm neosport this year.
i fished in it alot in spring. it was totally awsome, till i busted the zipper, and didnt bother to get it fixed.
i was using it in rocky areas to get to a few big boulders out another 50 yards from where i would normally be casting. also tried some skiishing, that was awsome.
i was wicked warm and comfy. i had a little less mobility to the arms, but it was worth it in the long run. it was a good purchase and another tool in the arsenal. good for scouting with a mask and snorkel as well.

live to fish. fish to live. rod tips high.

got the same suit myself this year it is alittle stiff in the arms (couldnt kick up the $ for a hyperstrech)IT is a great tool for wading some spots I fish when the tide is coming in and I don't want to be in trouble when coming back in.I'v done some snorkeling in it as well.
