Sept 3 Bell Bouy

Hey Big Jay yes marko and i were out yesterday! Started by meeting Marko at his place about 5:50 am loaded my gear into his boat and we were off! Launched at a place called captians cove! Got the boat into the water and i just knew i forgot something. MY TACKEL BOX! :wallbash: Marko the nice guy he is offered to go back to delta and get it for me, if i were to watch the boat. I did and he did! Jus over a half hr later marko returns with the rest of my gear!(Thanks again Marko!) Now were ready to go 7:30 am down the river we go in antisapation o big chinook salmon fighting at the end of our line. Nice ride to the chuck from the boat launch. We get to where all the other boats are and get geared up! Lines in the water and now were fishing. :thumbup: I was using my new UV Purple Haze flasher with my new uv purple haze teaser head with nice fat anchovie. Marko was using the same teaser head as me but his flasher was a lil different, made by delta tackle this flasher was one that has 3 triangle rotating blades looke killer in the water but i have no idea on what the flasher is called? So were fishing for maybe if were lucky half an hr and the motor dies! Marko trys to start it and nothing! He now says the motor is seized, i'm like sh%# there goes our whole day of fishing! So now were drifting with the tide i'd say north towards vancouver, No kicker motor or radio to call for help! :wallbash: So marko trys to get the attention of anouther boat i beleave it was a nice tophy boat with a blue top on it! As the trophy boat sees us waving our arms for help (we hear them say I think they need help) Do you honestly think they would stop fishing and come help us, Of coarse not, That to me was the biggest kick in the nuts i've ever had while fishing! Finally we get anouther boats attention and they cruise by close enough to talk to them, we say we need a tow back to stevston, The response we got was that they just got out fishing and were gonna fish the tide change and we were to tie up to a crab tram float and wait for them to be done fishing and we did! I knew in the back of my head that they were not going to help us back! I was right! But what they did do was put out a distress of a boat that needs help! Sure enough after about half hr being tied up to a crab trap and my arm super sore from jigging a nice big cabin cruser comes up to us and offers to help us out! :thumbup: About 2 min befor they showed up i seen oinks all around us so i was in the middle of getting my trout rod set up for some pink action but it wasn't to be! These nice people offered us aboard there vessle and about maybe 2 hrs later were back at the boat launchNot a bad day ok it was maybe a lil, i do not at this time remember the name of the boat that gave us a ride but they were super nice people i offered to give them money for there troubles but they said they would not accept it, for helping others in need is the law of the sea! Next time Marko we need a kicker motor and a radio to have any kind of outing just in case it happens again! Thats my report from yesterday! Oh the guys that told us to tie up to the crab trap did hook a fish with in minuts of talking to us! And what we seen just sitting there the fish were being cought by everyone but us! :wallbash:
