Surfcasting

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.

Same here - name does seem familiar but not sure if it is a name from around these parts or back in time.

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...
