Water Hunting Tip

Although I don't hunt anymore, I thought I'd pass this along after reading Angels post.

After almost losing it at a Rhode Island beach after taking a wave over my head that filled my waders, I had to come up with something to correct the problem.

I bought a short sleeved skin top to go over my waders instead of inside. It has save my butt on more than one occasion.

Even hunting the western beaches where there isn't any waves, it helped me many times. If I tried to go out a litter further than I should have or just tripped and fell, I never had a drop of water enter my waders after doing that.

There have been many a fisherman that lost their lives falling into the cold waters and having their waders fill with water. This simple, cheap fix could have save their lives.

Just thought I'd pass it along for what it's worth.

wetsuitwarehouse.com is a great place for all things associated with lunatics who play in water when they ought to know better!
I have never had a problem with them and you can usually catch a sale or coupon code.

Frank, I think you were the one that told me about the story of hunting at dark and the big drop off at shore...Now that's a real eye opener...and one I always think about. A few weeks ago tides were low, I was out about 50 yards chest deep water. All of the sudden the sand on the next step forward was like fluid.. If not for your story of watching each step carefully I could have sunk. I believe I was out so far I had hit a area where the oyster dredge had came thru and I was stepping into one of there dredged area's...which had filled with silt. When you can not see your next step always move with caution.
Thanks Buddy...
