Good fishing karma and a good dead. However, I think the advice i would have given him would be to STAY THE HELL AWAY from black rock on a day like today. And give him the speech about the treacherous nature of that stretch of coast and what kind of gear he should be equipped with. Wasnt it last year that a couple got washed in there and perished during a tropical storm...
Good deed, but Rob's right. That's a stretch that can be unpredictable (waves) and a couple did perish there in the last year or two. Combine w/ Hazard and you've got an area that's too risky for unprepared, inexperienced fishermen.
