I have heard someone saying it was Tim but also, article and radio reported 65 and 61 YOA respectively. I believe Tim is a little older. No news at this point. Thoughts & Prayers to whoever it is.
I would also ask that we not speculate so family can be notified. |

This is very sad news for me. I always enjoyed Tim's fishing articles over the years. RIP Tim atleast you were doing what you loved when it happened.
|
WOW!!?! I'm shocked...... thats horrible for his friends and family.
thoughts and prayers to all those who knew him |
Wow I'm shocked, this is tragic Thoughts and Prayers to all

Really terrible news. We had Tim at a CSA meeting recently and he looked like a happy, healthy guy, doing what he wanted to be doing. I did not know him, but I was a fan of his writing and work. He was one of the sport's iconic people. We will all miss him and his contributions to surf casting.
Having good thoughts for his family and those who loved him. I know this must be awful for Pat and Dennis and Dr. Bush and the others he shared those early Block Island experiences with. My sympathy and condolences to you all |
Such a great loss.

Surfcaster's Journal has it being Tim on Facebook, too.
Just another reminder to ALWAYS put safety first. If this could happen to Tim, it could happen to any of us. |
wow- sad news. Condolences to all his friends here. I never knew him, but learned lots by reading all his great articles and books back in the 80s and 90s.

Im very sad to hear this. I have enjoyed reading his stuff for such a long time. When i first started surfcasting i always sought out his articles in the fisherman and OTW. This is another loss to the surfcasting community. Rest in peace.
|
Sad news, great writer and fisherman. My condolences to his family and friends. RIP Tim
|
he knew that stretch of water better than anybody...like Mike P said, it could happen to anybody. Terrible news. R.I.P.
|
Do we know it was an accident? Or natural causes?
|
Speechless....rip tc
|
Another Huge loss RIP
|
Shocked and saddened, and scared. Heard him speak at CT Surfcasters just a few weeks ago, hunted his articles as only been fishing the salt 2 years...great info, inspirational. I fish alone some as well. Was found on the sand trail, so likely heart issues or stroke? Prayers to all who knew him....
|
Sad news for sure, just finished re-reading one of his books.
Sorry for loss, I know he was friends to many people on the site. The news report said he was on the path, not to many details as of yet |
This sucks. I'd run into him almost every year on the west wall in early May.The longer I'm in this game the more that are gone.I'm sad for his family.
|
Very sad, thoughts and prayers to all
|
RIP Tim...
|
Sad news. RIP Tim. His articles I remember from many years ago when I started reading the Fisherman Mag. This is a tremendous loss to the fishing community. Thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends.
|
Big loss to the striper fishing comunnity. Sad new.
Condolences to his Family and close friends. |
Bass from the Beach-The ultimate "read between the lines" guide to fishing Block Island....I will ALLWAYS remember and appreciate Tim Coleman for writing a book,that allthough was a compilation of articles,remains to me,the best surf fishing book a young surf caster could ever read for knowledge and inspiration.Thank you and rest in peace Tim.......
|
Terrible Loss. I couldnt believe when I heard of Al Pelini last June and now Tim Coleman... May he rest in Peace. Be careful Out there....
|
Very sad news :(
My condolences to his family and friends which I'm sure he had many. I followed his articles much like others when I first began surf fishing. RIP Tim |
Very Sad.
RIP |
Wow what a shock. I enjoyed his writing for many years. He will be missed by our community for sure. Condolences to all who knew him and especially to his family.
|
It's a sad loss. He truly defined himself as a fisherman, and made his choices in life so he could do what he loved. He didn't have a family, but he wasn't a fishing bum or anything - he worked all his adult life and put his money away, wintered in Key West where he owned a trailer.
When I published his last book, we did it over the phone and via email - I never met him in person until last month at the Connecticut Surfcasters Assoc. On the phone he came across as very serene and that's how I found him to be in person. He was one of those soft-spoken guys with no bravado and nothing to prove. He got short-changed on retirement years, but don't feel sorry for him as a fisherman. He got to experience arguably the best surfcasting there ever was as a member of the Curtis House crew that rented a big house for six weeks each autumn during the glory years on Block Island. Got 67? He lived the life of a dyed-in-the-wool surfcaster and went out with his waders on, no doubt. |
