Dangerous place that,one of the members of our fishing club had almost run out of fuel and had stopped at a fuel dock on the main pass,his two friends jumped out to handle the lines and he stayed in the boat to handle the nozzle.

A big freighter came up river and the bow wave sucked the waterlevel down about 8ft,his boat went UNDER the dock,chrushing the bimini and leaving him stuck under water.

After a little bit the trough came again and the boat come out,he survived.

I love fishing there but it IS a wild place.

The quality of responses on this thread gives the lie to the claim by some that FR is simply the home of fundy-dumbyism (to coin a forgetable phrase).
