Jeez that is really sad. Usually not fishermen that get swept off, cuz they know better. Lake was angry this morning, and fishing the north pier in a north wind gets dangerous in a hurry

That's 2 so far this year in St. Joe. I was out there fishing earlier this year while a sonar boat was scanning out in front of everyone fishing looking for a body from a couple days before.

That's very sad.

The piers can be dangerous for sure. I can recall a few times in Frankfort we had to hide behind the lighthouse to avoid getting washed off - back in my younger years involving northwind days filled with Redbull and Jager and pitching glow spoons from dusk till dawn

Very sad, I’ve been on that pier through some rough times. Thinking of him and his family.

I was out of Grand Haven yesterday, and Lake Michigan was “swelling” for sure yesterday.
