this must be a wake up call to everyone who uses the waters for our sport. mother nature takes no prisoners.follow the forecasts advice .i know its disappointing when you cant go out after weeks of preparation. but the results of not following or sticking to safety proceedures can be fatal. there are families all over this country still mourning there loved ones .and wondering how or why it happened.the sea can turn so quickly against you and the only way of getting home safe is to be prepared life jackets, flares ,radios,any tool that is needed to survive while your at the mercy of the sea.get them on board and have them just in case. dont leave your families wondering if only.my prayers and thoughts are with this poor souls family may he rest in peace

Very sad news.

The man was an experienced boat angler.
it should act as a wake up call to anglers everywhere to exercise caution on the water always.
