It was Mr Bill on the SOL board. And he leaves a wife and two children...45 year old school teacher...
I will put up the first donation of some plugs and buy the first tickets if we should do a raffle or donation for his family. I just am not going to run it.

Oh boy. That's a shame. Grim reminder to take an extra minute and familiarize yourself with your surroundings and be safe. My sympathy goes out to his family.

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.

Strange story- found him in 3ft of water...very terrible. Doubt we will ever know how it went down, but a good warning, things can go bad in no time at all out on the water
