Guys, do your family and yourselves a favor and get one of those inflatable vests. There are some that have pockets similar to a fly fishing vest, the other is the horse collar. They are relatively comfortable. Not sure if you guys remember that we lost a fisherman at Beavertail last year. I met that guy several weeks before the accident. In my estimation he was checked out. Korkers, had fished his whole life, in the bay, the surf, done it all, turkey hunter, etc. He and I had discussed the value of a vest. He did not have one. I have worn mine for the last several years. He stated that he should but just never got around to it. He bit the bullet at Beavertail during one of those off shore storms that we had last year. As experienced as he was I suspect one of those rogue waves caught him. Jamestown rescue squad tried to reach him but could not get the boat in close enough with the high surf and rocky shore. All it takes is one mistake. An inflatable vest gives you a chance to recover. Think about it.........
