Just wanted everyone to know that the Red Ranger man put helping another boater ahead of running to his fishing spot. Fishing is done in more that one way.
WTG :ThumbsUp:ThumbsUp
I've never seen any of todays young fishermen slow down enough to lend a helping hand, 'course it's been AWHILE since I've seen anyone broke down too. Back in the day when fishermen was more curtious anyone would stop to help. Well, atleast I want to think that's the case.
Couple of weeks ago I was long lining in Belews lake in NC , just fishing away listening to the radio and running my live well aerator , well when I got done guess what , yep batteries dead, 2 nice young men rolled there rods up and jumped me off. I will pay it forward in the future.
If u stay on the water.sooner or later u will have a break down. I've towed lot of boats in and been tow myself. Do not pass someone up that is in need.

I've towed a boat or 2 in without hesitation. But hats off to Smitty and Lightwirehooker for towing me in when I was broke down..Ole Smitty had to pull me a long ways in the dark!!!
Navigator, that was my boat in front of you. Me and Slim was behind Earl Kitchens in line. I just had put my boat in when Earl said he was going to pull those guys in.

i had a offer this past Sat. but i didn`t need it i was just checking something under the hood . it wasen`t running just right . got it out of the water and found out that one coil had went out .
Glad you got it to limp back to dock, I had a cracked fuel line last week between pump and filter but made a quick fix and went to next fishing spot, life is good.Quote:

The guide said he had been towed in twice already that year and he was paying it forward. He did ask if I had a cold beer in the boat, but unfortunately I didn't. I can say I was never so glad for a tow as I was that evening. Now I keep a new hub bushing and the tools to change it in my boat along with a cold beer just in case.
