Default 2 Die as Boat Flips In The Chesapeake Bay

Not sure what these guys where thinking but 6 guys headed out today in a 18' Aluminum tracker type boat in 3 to 4 foot seas. They did not make it very far before the boat flipped sending them into the 45 deg. water. All people where rescued but two died before help could arrive. Sad to see this happen and prayers go out to all involved. For the guys here fishing this time of year in cold waters think reel hard before leaving the docks. Stripers are not worth the risk and I am assuming that's what they weere headed out to do with were they left.
