Kayaker in waer

[jakesdad]

Fished Shark River for a couple of hours this morning. Many kayakers no problem
lots of shorts. Looked up and saw one man in the water, water temp 60.2 degrees. First boat to him helped him in and saved his kayak. We retrieved his shoes and water bottle floating by. Went over to give the items back and was told the drain plug came out and he just rolled.

He was lucky, many people around but he was unprepared to be in the water, wearing pants and a hoodie, but NO PFD. Guys I respect your right to enjoy the sport of fishing but please do it safely. That is the second time in 2 years I have seen someone in the water early in the season.

PS but he did loose all of his equipment.

Caught fish on last of outgoing, bite slowed on the incoming. 1 keep 40 back in the water to grow.
