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
 
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.
 
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.
 
one was a 71 yrs old fishing a match from a beach when he didnt turn up at the weigh in they went looking for him he was inwater at the beach very sad
 
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.
