its hard to miss an a area where there are ships. We were 38 miles off
shore. I have seen ships pass at 15 miles and as far as 100 miles. You
cannot avoid them if you wish to fish offshore for tuna or sharks

We were out on Saturday July 2 again at 750 Square. It is about 40 miles
off of Cape May. A container ship the Evergreen Lines Ever Refine almost
ran
us down. I think sportfishermen should report these instances to the coast
guard. I am hearing too many of these stories. Even though they can't do
much about 1 instance , multiple reports will allow them to determine if
there is a pattern to these instances. Following is my letter describing
the
incident that I am sending to Evergreen and the Coast Guard

If you are fishing in the shipping lanes, expect to die at some stage.
Technically it would be the fault of
the ship, but that won't do you much good when you are dead.
