Florida Fish & Wildlife's invest of the boating accident that killed 3 ex football players off Clearwater Pass in Feb was caused by "improper anchoring techniques"!
"Around 5:30 pm...... {in 60 foot deep rough, 4-6 foot seas, rising 20+ mph winds}...... they went to pull up the anchor and head back to port, but the anchor was stuck. Bleakley suggested they tie it to the transom and use the boat's motor to pull it loose.
When Cooper tried to thrust the boat forward, the vessel became submerged and capsized, tossing the men overboard."
The stupidity of those actions totally confound me! I guess I'm just not smart enough to understand the scope of things people do to themselves and other people that cause their deaths
!
Unfortunately for them it just might of been inexperience in those conditions and not stupidity.

This really sucks!!
For 2009, the minimum size limit will be 21 inches, compared to 20.5 last year. The bag limit will be two fish, down from four. Additionally, there will be a split season:
Open May 15 - June 15.
Closed June 16 - July 2.
Open July 3 - August 17.
Closed thereafter.
That Sucks!!
