I heard the same thing as Blue. I heard it struck something in the water about 20 miles off. The Dream Catcher suposedly almost sank last summer during the Mid Atlantic 500 tournament in Cape May. I'm not sure what the problem was last year.

Heard it on the Bass Barn in the offshore section this morning:

Cy, they said once the other 2 boats picked up the crew, they continued fishing rather than bringing the Dream Catcher crew home due to all of the tourny $$ at stake. Can't say I blame them. It was nice of them to take a tourny time out just to rescue the crew as I'm sure there's some out there that would have turned a blind eye to a sinking boat in lieu of the $$.

Couple of pix of Dream Catcher in her day:

Sad to think she's sitting out there on the sea floor in over 100ft of water as we speak :'(

WOW :o

WONDER WHY THE COAST GUARD DID NOT TAKE THE CREW IN? THAT WAS THE COAST GUARD IN THE VIDEO WASN'T IT. WE NEED TO GET THE COORDINATES TO MSBHAMMER, HE CAN GO SALVAGE THE RODS AND STUFF OFF OF IT.
