Wow what a story. There was a man who I knew who went fishing with his son in the Long Island sound July 3rd. The 50 year old captain was leaning over to grab a rod and happened to fall in the water, within seconds the man disappeared into a strong tidal flow and never resurfaced. The 14 year old son panicked and was not able to get the boat going and by that time I’m sure he was disoriented and lost his fathers exact MOB location. It’s been 5 days and no body has been found. I am going to purchase an automatic inflatable pfd with PLB as things happen so fast out on the water, fishing alone you take the greatest chances and small mistakes could cost you your life. Glad to hear this captain survived a very scary situation. I hope we can all learn from this captains mistakes and take necessary precautions because no fish is worth your life or the lives of family or friends.
Godspeed
