There were four people aboard the 17-foot boat, which left from Hampton, New Hampshire, Wednesday morning and was headed to fishing grounds near Jeffreys Ledge, about 50 miles offshore.
Local fishermen in Hampton say the ocean has been rough the past few days, and that they were surprised to see the 17-footer head out Wednesday morning.
"The reality is it's very dangerous to be out there in April in a small boat, because you don't have the life rafts, you don't have survival suits," said Phil Eastman, owner of Eastman's Fishing Fleet."You can't survive in that temperature … Very, very sad, because great people are going out to catch fish, and they're having a great time, but they don't realize the dangers this time of year.
