CAPE MAY — The Coast Guard rescued a man May 20 who was reported overdue while fishing in Grassy Sound.
The Coast Guard received a telephone call at 8:20 p.m. May 19 reporting a fisherman aboard a 12-foot clam boat had not returned to Utsch’s Marina here by sunset.
Rescue crews from Coast Guard Station Cape May, Station Townsend Inlet and Air Station Atlantic City searched for the man.
The rescue boat crew from Station Townsend Inlet located the clammer, who was not identified by Coast Guard, but the water was too shallow to reach him.
A helicopter crew from Coast Guard Station Atlantic City hoisted the man from a marsh in Grassy Sound and transported him to Coast Guard Station Cape May.
The clammer was stranded in the mud when he left his boat while the tide went out.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
