PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- The U.S. Coast Guard has suspended its search for a man who had been fishing from the shore near Clatsop Spit.
Petty Officer 1st Class Levi Read said the fisherman's wife contacted authorities Wednesday morning after her husband failed to return home. He had sent her a text message Tuesday night.
