Not good to read about this-perfect condition out there today?
"A man has been found dead in waters off Rockingham in what is believed to be a boating accident.
Police say the man was seen floating near the Garden Island shoreline not far from his upturned dinghy about 12.30pm.
Water Police responded to a report from a member of the public and recovered the man’s body.
It is understood the man has been identified and police have contacted his next of kin.
Police are investigating the circumstances of his death and it is not yet clear how the vessel came to be upturned."

Always sad to hear of this,
Always sad to hear of this, but I wonder why so many go out solo, you only have to post on this or any of the other sites for a fisho to come out with you and you will get lots of interest. I have done this on a number of times, met some great fellow fishers & learned / shared. My kids call it my fishing tinders.
