Concentration plays a huge part fishing in moving water. You have to remember to keep one foot planted at all times. If you forget and move both the phrase "your toast" comes to mind. There are only a few places I fish that this type of water current affects my fishing, one being the incoming or outgoing tide at the end of North Neck Beach on Chappy. Wade out there and lose your concentration and your wet very quickly. The best way to thwart at least going under though is a "sospenders". And a dry top. You can wear a dry top , but if your an older fella and the current is dragging you out, dry top or not the phrase again comes to mind, "your toast", is appropriate. Wearing a "sospenders" or a similar floatation device is the only way to go. Mine is still in my truck. I have two extra CO2 cartridges that I carry. I am an authority on this believe me. Why do you think my screen name is swimmer? Sospenders make great presents and they save lives.
