How many times do we see these unfortunate accidents every year ? Yet I remain to see many of my friends out there not taking proper precautions.
No fish is worth a human life.
Since getting back into the "S-Bass" scene this year - the first order of business was getting a set of PFDs both regular type and the Sospenders. I wear the Sospenders religiosly, becuase even if I was a good swimmer, I respect the power of the water, wind and waves ! When you board my boat, you are given the "rundown" of the boat, to orient you where everything is and how everything works. I don my sospenders, and you are offered a set to wear - I don't insist on a guest wearing them (its okay - the throw cushion and rope are under the console! )
My wife and 2 teenagers do not have a choice - they WILL wear them - or you don't go !!
I hope that by reading about others tragedies over and over again every year - others will follow my lead.
Be Safe - Have fun - Tight lines
