Alot of sport fishermen fished the coast and Straits in the 60-70's in 12-14' boats. I remember in the mid 70's when a 16' windshield boat was a BIG boat for the average sport fisherman at LaPush/Sekiu, and a 14' open boat was average. I agree that these accidents are horrible! I still know ALOT of old time fisherman who are around that did do it very successfully as that is they had. I did heard the weather was very sporty Friday on the Coast.
