I know of at least 3 guys who have died doing the same thing at the same place! They got out, got stuck and the tide slowly killed them. DO NOT get out of your boat on the mud flats!
Lucky guy! It definitely takes a bit more planning when you are dealing with the ocean as opposed to just tramping around some farm pond. As they say *#it happens. Just glad everyone (hunter and Coast Guard members) came out unharmed. A big THANK YOU to the members of the US Coast Guard should not be missed here. Those guys and gals are freaking top notch. Wether you are a field or afloat they will come looking for you.
Ive heard that port susan is the same way. Funny how the skagit isnt bad like that tho
I'm wondering if the hunter will have to pay for the helicopter ride? Anyone know?
As someone who owned his own shellfish company for many years and spent thousands of hours in that type of mud, a tip. If you do get stuck in the mud DO NOT panic or try to wiggle your way out. It will only dig you deeper and crate more suction. If you are stuck big time the best thing is to do is lay on your stomach flat on the mud and try to pull your feet out heel first, never straight up or toe first. Sometimes you can slip out of your boots but you probably won't get them back. I have been stuck in tidal mud up to my groin and that is the best method to get out and usually you can save your boots as well.
