I was fishing on the north jetty yesterday when those boats went down.It was the roughest I've ever seen it during the summer.
Somebody mentioned 10 ft. waves.I think they were a lot worse than that.
I never saw a boat even attempt to cross the bar till 10 o clock.Then there were very few.
No disrespect intended for those poor folks that lost their lives yesterday but as important as a lifejacket is,common sense is a greater lifesaver. Nobody should have even attempted to make that crossing.Even the commercial guys never attempted it till later in the day.(not charters)And they live on the river and ocean a huge part of their lives.
Everybody needs to keep one thought in mind.There is not a fish in this world that is worth dying for.Please use common sense.And wear your life gear.
