DAUPHIN ISLAND, Ala. - The Coast Guard is searching for a missing fisherman 70 miles south of Dauphin Island, Alabama, Monday.

Missing is Carlos Ramirez Regaldo, 33, a fisherman with the fishing vessel Scatterbrain. He was last seen wearing a grey shirt and blue pants without a life jacket.

Watchstanders with Coast Guard Sector Mobile received a report from crewmembers of the Scatterbrain that Regaldo fell overboard from the vessel at 7:30 p.m., Sunday. The boat is registered in Brownsville, Texas.

The watchstanders directed the launch of a Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans, MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew, a Coast Guard Aviation Training Center Mobile, HC-144 Ocean Sentry aircrew and the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Cobia to search for Regaldo.

There was a 52' Hatteras, named 'Scatterbrain' (Specialized in billfishing) that was home ported in Brownsville, TX that fished from Costa Rica down to Panama a few years back. Had a anglo captain but a hispanic crew.

Wonder if the same boat and what the hell they are doing at Daulphin Island other than traveling and taking fuel?

There is also a commercial boat out of Brownsville that bears the same name.

This is suppose to be out of Texas from what I understand. Another case of not having safety equipment on. Kinda makes you think twice about it when you hear these stories!

I doubt this gas has anything to do with the missing fisherman. But I sure would not like to be on the boat once they realize their fuel is gone. That's the making of a bad day.
