Not sure at this time. From what I gather there are some strong currents where he was fishing PLUS Friday night was the darkest, foggiest night I have fished, EVER. Who knows if he was taken by the sea or possibly had a heart attack or some other freak occurence.
He was an ex-lifegaurd and was an experienced surfcaster. I could EASILY see how someone might have gotten disoriented while wading a sand bar and lost their bearing that night.

Sad to Hear

Thoughts and prayers to his family, especially the ones who lost their dad. I think of my young ones everytime I head out. I think I'll be wearing my inflatable more than I used to.

Thats awful, T&P for his family.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
