[Charlton]

what a start to the winter season, an angler has been drowned at Arbroath, no name yet and another over at Workington, condolences to their families

[Blanked again]

Very sad news indeed. Thoughts go to those left behind.

Be safe lads.

Sad days are back and the cod season has just started.
I know flotation suites are bulky but they could just save your life.
So when your fishing if it looks to dodgie walk away and try some we're else.
Keep safe.

[fish fingers]

terrible news stay safe everybody the fish will still be thier another time not worth the risk

[magpies]

Sad news indeed, I think I may invest in one of those flotation suits.

Just a footnote to Flotation Suits, as far as I am aware (and you can correct me if I am wrong) a flotation suit will not self right you if you are knocked before or once you are in the water, therefore, you could be knocked out and face down. Therefore you float but drown anyway.
You need a PFD, personal flotation device that will self right you and turn you on your back as it inflates therefore maintaining an airway.

[Sea_Troot]

Sad news indeed. Remember lads no fish is worth a life staysafe always next time.

its sad to see but a fish is not worth your life its the family left behing who has to suffer

[Hodeano]

R.I.P Stay safe everyone lets not lose anymore,dont take any chances.

[Charlton]

as stated flotation suits are not much good you need a good quality self inflating life jacket, at least if you get knocked out it will turn you the right way. Many say they are too expensive and bulky, these days they are no more bulky than a strap across your shoulders, and what price do you put on your life.

the color of the suit inflates keepin your head above water if worst comes to worst,saved a lads life last year as he fell through an old wooden pier and knocked himself out,

not all flotation suits have inflatable collars.
