Sad Ending For Young Fisherman

[Ginja Ninja]

Prayers for this man's family.

This has never happened to me, knock on wood it doesn't. But I have had some friends who have had close calls and even some that have had to ditch waders to keep from going under.

Sad deal. I drove the Blue Water Highway Sunday afternoon so I would have seen his truck.

[HC Sniper]

I hate to hear things like this especially at this time of year.

That's a bad deal all the way around.

I don't have much experience with waders but this exact scenario is why I don't like to wear them.

I don't have much experience with waders but this exact scenario is why I don't like to wear them.

Agreed. I fell once and immediately my waders were full of water. Luckily I was in only 2 foot of water and could get up.


Prayers up for his family. Sad Deal

[Man]

Ive had that happen to me at San-Luis Pass. Was able to get out of my waders under water and get back to top. Be Careful out there

Bad deal, I say never go alone. Lost my Dad in Jan. 2011. It was drizzling rain, and when he jumped out of the boat toward the pier he slipped, hit his head, fell in the water and drowned. Had someone been with him, well you know. Don't fish alone and if your wading with waders wear a PFD. Prayers for his Family and Friends.

Sad deal.


The guys on TKF will roast you if you mention waders filling up and drowning you. They claim it's a fallacy.
