Having the right gear on board sure does pay dividends! If you’re fishing offshore, you should have a EPIRB!
The EPIRB alerted somewhere around 4:45 PM.
The news article was written and posted at 5:59 PM.
Amazing stuff.
flywatt,
Thank you for posting this.
Hopefully folks will learn from this.
One life saved is precious. Four is incredible.
Thank you again.
Absolutely, always good to single out the cases where boating safety pays off. These devices work.
Curious to know more details. What boat type, was it near jetties, etc. “It deteriorated, according to the officer.” Just wondering

Is that just a preview? 29 second video? That’s crazy. Glad to hear everyone made it home ok.
I think that was the Fishin’ Mission out of Tolers grabbing them out the water…So I heard. Not sure if Capt Eddie posts here much any more, though.
That hull looks like it split in half.Was something hit?
The ocean was flat calm yesterday. The narrative on the video says that it broke apart and he had just purchased it. Sounds like The previous owner has some explaining to do.

The way it’s cracked in the front it looks like they hit something and it drug down the center of the hull.

Eddie posted a pic on his FB…Those guys need better life jackets, but at least they had some ready to grab.
Yeah…that’s insane.

Yea…wtf?!?
I was the owner of the boat “Goin Deep” that capsized yesterday with the 4 man crew on board.There was nothing that was hit to cause the hull to crack. Just an unfortunate situation. We fished all day towards 226 hole sails were hot btw. Heading back in we pulled back to use the restroom went to get back on plane and
knew there was a problem. Rushed everyone to the front of bow and got the boat on plane. Within seconds the boat started filling up from the back and within seconds it was rolled over. We had just enough time to grab life jackets and epirp we also threw the cooler out to incase boat sank right away but the current took it quickly. Thanks to a good crew and everybody on board knowing where everything was at because like I said it was all in seconds. Thanks for all help,prayers and concerns to all. God bless and be careful. Have your proper safety gear on board. You never know when things could go wrong!

Good job Hull Pass. Everybody came home. Well done!
I was once on a brand new boat that split wide open like that. I won’t mention the brand. We were close to a beach and just ran it aground before it sunk.

That’s crazy! Glad you guys made it back safe and good thing it wasn’t at the 226. Out of curiosity was it surveyed?

Was the boat a Saifish or a Sea Pro?
