This was not a good time to go fishing by the three men. Even expert fishermen do not dare to go fishing as the weather changes all of a suddenly and you are caught up in the sea where gusty winds and storm sweeps the boat as well as the men.

Very sad news..
Partly agree with Jossey...
But life jackets too are useless in swirling waves...
They choke you anyways...
Sad indeed... May God give them solace...
And their families strength and courage to move on...

there is restricting of fishing in rainy season, even insurance companies not settling claims for loss during this period. fishermen already warned not venture in the sea , still they go risking their life.very bad news to read.
