I have 3 suits.
7mm bare farmer John. Great suit very warm, drawbacks are it's very thick and a lil bulky. Cost me 160
3mm NRS grizzly farmer John, excellent suit, made for big guys, 3 seasons old and shows no signs of wear. Easy in and out, 140 bucks.
3mm neosport xspans full suit, this thing is insane!!! Cheap at 135 bucks. The suit stretches 200 percent. Look online for the demo video. Most comfortable suit I've used. Its designed for action sports, wake boarding, water skiiing, windsurfing, etc. Awesome range of motion and feels like your wearing nothing at all. Also comes in a 5mm and 7mm both for under 200.

I've got O'Niell surf suit with hyperstretch shoulders. 3/2 good from Late May - Oct. (Bascially 60deg) if it is cold I add a 1mm top. 3mm socks and 2mm boots for the sand. If it is windy I through a dry top over it for non deep wading.
I don't recommend swimming in Newport Harbor with it after Thanksgiving @ 47deg though

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
