In Reply to: Wetsuit reccomendations? posted by Robert
: I'm looking for reccomendations for a wetsuit for kayakfishing in LaJolla and San Diego and Mission Bay.Those of you who can fit in a small, medium, large consider yourself lucky. I'm not in that catagory. I'm 6'1" 240 lbs. Most of the time I have trouble finding things in my size that aren't damded expensive. I'm wondering if a farmer john shorty would be adequate. Or is a full length one needed? The one I will get absolutly have to have a zipper fly for obvious reasons. I have a pair of 5mm booties that do a good job of keeping my feet warm. Any advice and or reccomendations would be appreciated. Robert
Robert,
I got my near new XXL farmer john full length wet suit at a second hand store in Ocean Beach for $25.00. It came with a jacket that I keep in my emergency bag incase I should ever get blown out to sea and have to send the night there. The only thing is the colors are purple and pink. It was summer time and the racks were full of suits.
I cut a two-inch slit in the crotch and it stays closed unless I pull it apart.
I’m a morning fisherman who is generally of the water by 11:00 and last summer was unseasonably cold so I found my self-wearing it all year.
You defiantly want to go with the farmer john top, because any thing else is just too restrictive.
Let me know if you find the OC T-sharks and next time I’ll join you.
John
