There's no substitute for common sense. If they change the water up or down the fish will change too so you might as well pull anchor and move. Still a little odd that the increased current swamped the boat. I wonder if it was a jon boat?

Years ago I was out there and the current was pretty swift -- about 18 feet or so on the lower gauge and these two guys in an 18' bass boat were idling up towards the dam on the Indiana shore throwing their anchor out trying to catch. But the ding dongs were anchoring from the back of the boat. When it finally hung in that current (they made several passes) it pulled the back end of the boat down and that boat was gone in a heart beat. Same story - boats everywhere to the rescue. No one hurt but we spent a while dipping tackle boxes, coolers, life vests,(neither had one on), etc from the river. Where's the common sense?
