Default Wetsuit Fishing

The official fishing in a wetsuit thread.

Often maligned as excessively dangerous, fishing in a wetsuit can be far safer then fishing in waders. Not all of us are "skishing" or free floating the rips.

One danger I find fishing in a wetsuit is being over confident. It's easy to go beyond your abilities and scare yourself. Wetsuiting can be extremely safe (safer then waders) or extremely dangerous. It just depends where you go with it. When swimming from rock to rock it's important to remember that if you get tired you can always rest, the wetsuit's buoyancy usually comfortably suspends you in the water.

What do you wear for footwear? What do you keep on your belt? Wetsuit recommendations? 2 piece, 1 piece? How do you stay safe if you're pushing the envelope?
