Awww!!!  I was just thinking of that.  Now that I can roll, I had hopes 
that one could capsize and do just that.  I suppose the oyster 
picking idea might still work, since oysters can't run away....

Might work in a river situation though, where you come across a 
slow stretch, capsize at the start, hunt for fish as you float along 
for a little bit, then right yourself as you get close to the end of the
slow section....

Course, I finally just got my roll last night, so I'm so psyched at
the moment that just about anything sounds like a good idea...
