Wear neoprene waders and a dry top.

Everyone loves breatheables for comfort. Neoprenes are like wearing a portable sauna, but their tight fit helps keep the water out if you get dropped out there. I know. I've been knocked ass over teakettle more times than I'd care to admit at Montauk. Sometimes it took me a few minutes to regain my feet. I never took water below the top of my neoprenes even without a belt.

Know the water. Know when it's safe. If in doubt, limit yourself to the last 3 hours of a falling tide. Never fish new water without someone who's been there before and knows when to get out of Dodge on a rising tide.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
