Saturday the fishing was great
We went 5 for 6. 3 kings and 2 silvers. Quick Draw caught her largest salmon ever at 22 plus pounds and our 8 year old grandson caught his first salmon a 7 pound silver, and his first ever king at 20 plus pounds. Quick Draw and the grandson both limited, and I came up short with just 1 king around 12 pounds. The pics will be up as soon as I learn how to post them from my I Pad
Sunday everthing went down hill
After we dropped off the crab pot at a location only know to a few
we headed out to the fishing ground
Everthing was going great, until I had to change gas tanks. After changing to the new tank, and running for about 1 1/2 miles, the motor started acting like it was running out of gas
Yes the tank was full, and new gas all around. So much for fish Sunday. The trip back in only took an hour and a half to make it back to the dock. A couple of times I was thinking about call into the Coast Guard for an excort just incase the motor died. But we made it in without calling.
Monday, after working a little on the motor and fuel lines Quick Draw and I launched the boat to gine it a test run
She fired up at the launch just fine, but just before we were to cast off the motor died, and would not start back up. So much for a test drive
back on the trailer, and back to the camp site. We packed up the camp, and headed for home. Even with the boat motor problems the week end camping, fishing visiting with freinds was a great time. Right up and including blowing a trailer tire about 8 miles from the Elma Rest Area
Man did that thing make a mess
and know my wife knows why I always carry a spare
We made it home without any more excitement, infact we got great gas mileage on the pick-up. Towing a 1969 BellBoy (heavier than all get out) without the top, loaded with the camping gear we made it to about 8 miles from the house before we had to switch tanks.
Like I said all in all this was a great trip.
