Three men who spent the night fishing on a jetty in the Raritan Bay on the Old Bridge-Sayreville border were trapped by the rising tide and were plucked off the rocks in an early morning rescue.

A fourth man tried to reach the three in a rubber raft, but he fell into the bay and drifted about a mile south of the jetty before he was found and pulled from the water by a private citizen using his own boat, police said.

Authorities said five men went on to the jetty about 7 p.m. Thursday night to fish, but two of the men, seeing the rising tide, climbed off to shore in the pre-dawn hours.

One of the men, Frederico Mendoza, 20, saw his three friends become trapped on the rocks, got a raft and tried to paddle out to the jetty, police said. However, the raft overturn, dumping Mendoza into the bay.

Shortly after 5 a.m., one of the men called for help, and police, firefighters and emergency medical technicians from Old Bridge, Sayreville and Perth Amboy went to the scene, along with a U.S. Coast Guard ship.

The three men were taken off the jetty about 6:15 a.m., police said.

The private boat owner, Wayne Lawson, brought Mendoza to shore about 6:35 a.m., authorities said.

Mendoza was taken to Raritan Bay Medical Center in Perth Amboy.

Read this in the paper the other day.....kind of dumb. Good to hear nobody was seriously hurt but its guys like this that will get us banned from using jetties. I used to have my boat in that inlet and that jetty is always covered at high tide. Alittle bit of common sense and research goes a long way.... :idea:

if they ate a baonator before fishing they never would of lasted that long fishing
