BARRY Coastguard responded to a caller concerned a man had been cut off from the tide during the evening on Sunday, September 21.
The man turned out to be a fly fisherman who returned to his car when he saw the crew arrive at the Old Harbour, Barry.
The coastguard recorded the incident as a false alarm with good intent.
