We lost a great one today. Rest in Peace Tim Coleman
I know nothing but hearing a body was found at Weekapaug Breacheay. Heard on radio. Do not know if an angler or not...

I have heard someone saying it was Tim but also, article and radio reported 65 and 61 YOA respectively. I believe Tim is a little older. No news at this point. Thoughts & Prayers to whoever it is.
I would also ask that we not speculate so family can be notified.

Confirmed? Didn't see your post Dennis. This is tough.
Saddened. He fished alone a lot.

Really terrible news. We had Tim at a CSA meeting recently and he looked like a happy, healthy guy, doing what he wanted to be doing. I did not know him, but I was a fan of his writing and work. He was one of the sport's iconic people. We will all miss him and his contributions to surf casting.
Having good thoughts for his family and those who loved him. I know this must be awful for Pat and Dennis and Dr. Bush and the others he shared those early Block Island experiences with. My sympathy and condolences to you all

Surfcaster's Journal has it being Tim on Facebook, too.
Just another reminder to ALWAYS put safety first. If this could happen to Tim, it could happen to any of us.

Im very sad to hear this. I have enjoyed reading his stuff for such a long time. When i first started surfcasting i always sought out his articles in the fisherman and OTW. This is another loss to the surfcasting community. Rest in peace.

Do we know it was an accident? Or natural causes?

Shocked and saddened, and scared. Heard him speak at CT Surfcasters just a few weeks ago, hunted his articles as only been fishing the salt 2 years...great info, inspirational. I fish alone some as well. Was found on the sand trail, so likely heart issues or stroke? Prayers to all who knew him....

Sad news for sure, just finished re-reading one of his books.
Sorry for loss, I know he was friends to many people on the site.
The news report said he was on the path, not to many details as of yet
