Stuck In The Water

So have you ever wondered how a boat can get stuck in the water. Saturday while I was out with my Fishin Tool Bag on the Tennessee river, i came across this large yacht. It seems that they were out for a easy day on the water, when they missed a turn on the main channel. The water depth went from 40 some feet to three. Boats like this one, need at least eight feet of water to run in. When he went into only three feet of water, he was stuck.
There was a small tow boat and they pulled for more than an hour. In the end, a large barge that travels the river pulled him out. This would be a good way to eat up some props by hitting rocks, e was lucky.

Nylon Nitro Boat Trailer Glide On

About a month ago I installed E-Z Slide Trailer Pads from Bass pro Shops. These really make it easy to launch and load your boat. Before I had these installed I would need to speed up when putting the boat onto the trailer. With these installed now I can ease up on the trailer and and it slides right one. Although I almost lost the boat onto the ground, the boat ramp was very steep. With these installed the boat will slide right off.

Just Plain Lucky

About 2 weeks ago when we were fishing at our hot spot on the Tennessee river I was fishing with a Bomber Crankbait and ended up getting hung on a tree. I yanked and pulled for nearly 5 minutes until I finally admitted defeat and cut the line. 2 weeks later Darren and I returned to our spot and we had been fishing for a couple of minutes and Darren said "What's that floating in the water? It looks like a lure." I looked over to where he was pointing and sure enough my crankbait was floating in the water. Somehow the current must have worked it loose, and the line somehow tied itself around the log because it was just sitting there not moving. I pulled out my knife and cut it loose. It was dirty and the hooks were rusted but I'm sure I'll be able to clean it somehow.
