i'm wading in around.. little over waist deep. but with some waves, often about lil under chest high will get wet. but at night when it's colder i will only go till about my stomach is wet. i just get a bit greedy during the day. i only wade out to cast. then make the long haul back to shore, to wait. which is where the problem of being wet at night comes into play. the wind is whipping and it's cold. we were shaking like crazy out of the water. another thing is, the crabs come out to play in full force at dusk through night there. i keep getting bit. not to mention all the fun rocks, and shells. so i need some foot protection. i'm close to just wearing my shoes in tonight.
if i got a wet suit, i would keep going out about mid stomach deep. if i got some waders i would go only about waist. no need to push it.
i just want to be warm. three nights in a row of freezing and and carrying and fighting fish and walking around alot is getting incredibly exhausting. it wouldn't be half as bad with out expending all that energy on shivering.
