Looked up today

And boat was GONE. I was wading back in a creek and the boat was exposed to the high winds out in the open. I had securd it with a snatch rope to a big snag. Well, I see it going out to the main lake and start making phone calls. I get up with a guy that can be there in 1 hr. Ok, so i start back fishing. A while later I see my boat coming so I call my buddy and tell him to hold tight. Guy comes in with my boat and we get it secured. His buddy comes in with his boat and we talk a while. I wanted to give them something for there deed but had nothing but fish on me. They were happy to get some fish and said they had a rough day. Thank u fellas if your on this sight. U saved my butt on this one. Coulda have been real bad for me. There were only 2 trucks at the ramp today so I knew my chances were slim.

Nuttin like a helping hand, good job guys!!!!

All them times you helped someone else just came back around! Glad everything turned out OK!

Pretty much the way I look at it, its not if each us will need help of some kind but when.

I forgot to mention how the boat came loose. Those ropes have a snap on each end that is some how tied back through the rope. There tie failed and snap broke off. For now on I will be tie to the main rope.

Glad to hear someone was there to help... Couldve been a long day

Glad you hot help, bet you will double check the boat now

Were you wading on the Rez?

good deeds pass them on

Glad they were there to help you BD.

Glad you had some helpfull new friends around to save the day. Now go get you an I-pilot and next time you can use the remote to get the boat back.

I had that happen to me a few years ago at Sardis. I got to return the favor Friday at Nada, I seen a guy standing on the bank and pulled up, he his boat had drifted off. I went and got it and returned it to him. He tried to pay me, I said no, I just ask he that he help someone if they ever needed it.

No. Fished mcc tournament on the Rez Saturday. U have to fish out of boat in the tournaments. This was yesterday on Sardis lake.

Had the same thing happen to us one day on the MS river except we were duck hunting. We saw a bunch of ducks going down in a bar pit and pulled up on a sandbar to walk over and take a look. When we got back to the boat it had blown across a channel and we were stranded! Last guy out of the boat had to strip down and swim for it.

Congrats BD on your season with MCC this year. You guys have rookie of the year locked up!

Glad you got your boat back, have tried to text you and not heard back? Hope all is well... Go on the Missouri Forum and look at some of these fish we are catching up here right now...

Hope to see you in June...
