usually the backside of sachuest is pretty calm compared to the south facing point. 3rd beach is totally protected from ocean swells... This is very strange and just proves that you have to be careful ANYWHERE you fish.....

Terrible news...
Portsmouth man dies after he's swept into the water while fishing in Middletown
Comments 0 | Recommend 0
November 2, 2011 10:20 am By Maria Armental MIDDLETOWN, R.I. -- A Portsmouth man who was fishing at Third Beach early this morning died, the police said.
Gary Mathias, 48, was fishing on the rocks at Sachuest Point Wildlife Refuge around 4 a.m. when he was swept away by a wave.
Sgt. Mark Minnella entered the water with a life line attached, but the surf was too rough.
A Middletown Fire Department boat pulled Mathias out of the water at the Third Beach boat ramp, where Newport rescue personnel administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Mathias was taken to Newport Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
The incident remains under investigation.

Very sad news. My condolences go out to his family and friends.
I was with a couple of friends discussing safety while fishing last night and we were talking about how every year we hear a story like this. Another reminder about how dangerous surfcasting can be.

Such sad news. My life jacket stays on over my wetsuit any time I am near the water. It was a bit cumbersome at first, now I feel naked without it. Be careful out there gang. |

Another sad day in a season of bad news. Gary was a regular customer of the Salt Water Edge shop where I work part time. He worked as Chef at the Brick Alley Pub in Newport and was an avid chaser of striped bass via surf and kayak. Always very friendly and turned many of his kitchen staff into avid surf casters as well. I'm at a loss for words...

Horrible news. Our thoughts are with those close to him.
Be careful, the water is getting colder.
