Wetsuits???

[agsurfr]

I appreciate all of your responses. My inclination was experiment in a well known area during the day, carry my gear try climbing onto the rock, casting and so forth. I am thinking, as Ivan suggested, that I start out as though I'm in waders and gradually, I can become a bit more adventurous.

From a past life as a poor surfer, I have all the gear, booties, 2 suits, gloves, mitts, hoods etc. I was thinking I could actually paddle out on a board, but then I'd have to keep it tethered close by and that would be 1 more thing to worry about. My luck would have a 50#er get snarled in the thing and snap!!

I do appreciate your help!!

Thank you all
