Stripercrazy, you were right. This is something that happened a few weeks ago, reported on another site 7/22:
"My 7 yr old & 4 yr old wanted to go fishin before sunset.
When we got there there were 2 men from jersey in waders & back packs fly fishing with baskets on. My kids were horrified when the flood tide almost washed both guys off! They were only 20 yards away, getting bent in half by 2-3 foot waves. We all yelled get out! & they did. they said it was there first time there.
PLEASE THINK!!! is a ten pound blue or 9 pound bass worth ur life?
Best Wishes & be safe. "
