Should "wetsuiting" be its own category of fishing

[spence]

To date, the biggest thing keeping me from a wetsuit has been my weight. Being famous, I often have a lot of paparazzi hanging about ,and the thought of a candid with that belly bulging in a dark mass neoprene is simply not acceptable.

Now that I'm svelte, trim and otherwise incredibly handsome this issue doesn't present the same downside that it once did.

I doubt I'd take a serious swim, but a number of the places I like to fish are nearly impossible to access near high tide. I may look for a good deal online.

Just get one without a hood if you're worried about the size of your head...

I'm serious, there's a photo of me in a wetsuit in Alaska some years back that's really terrible. I can't even bear to look at it.

To the point of the thread, a wetsuit isn't a boat. With a boat you're either in the boat or not in the boat. In a wetsuit you could be standing on shore, on a rock or swimming. It doesn't make a lot of sense to make a new catagory simply because you "might" be able to gain advantage by moving further offshore.

By this reason, we should also have a naked catagory for those who swim a la natural to their favorite perch.

Dennis, You bring up some interesting , almost discouraging points. I guess that's not only a perception that the "bass are just out of casting range", that is for the wader clad surfcaster!
