July 7, 2015 — Shifting tides and floating logs stranded a Rhode Island pair and their slippery sushi harvest along the Taunton River on Sunday.

An eel fisherman and his grandson had to jump from their boat as it took on water near a railroad trestle.

Police responded around 3:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon, according to Taunton Police Dive Team leader Sgt. Matt McCaffrey.

Police said commercial fisherman Brad Higson, 59, of Brayton Road, Tiverton, was out on the river Sunday with his 8-year-old grandson.

The eel-fishing duo had been recovering the bounty from 60 eel pots left hanging from orange buoys along the waterway.
