Geez guys

Stuff happens on the water and never when you want it too
Apparently he got it back and no body was hurt that's the import part

Was the wind out of the North?

when?

When??


Happenes everyday
No body on the water hasnt has some kind of issue

Stuff happens

No. I understand the [censored] happens part....but the boat has been floating around for days. That's the part I don't get.

I've ran out of gas before. I've had a dead battery before. I've tied up to a tree and rearranged batteries to get the boat to start, etc.... Only time my boat has set that long, out of my sight, it was at my house, on its trailer, and I was at the beach.

I don't know the details, I just have second hand info.

Game wardens are not in the boat recovery business. I heard about this from Adam last night and texted the Denton county gws just giving them the heads up. 2 of them being really good personal friends of mine. They called me this morning relaying the story that Adam told y'all. I was on the water when this happened. Had this person called 911 they knew I was on the lake via fb. He would had help within about 3 minutes. Sad deal either way but our game wardens are not tow companies. They are for emergency situations. I just wish he would have called because my Gw buddy would have called me qsap and he would have help in no time...

Glad no one is hurt.

A couple of months ago I got made fun of on here because I suggested to a new boat owner he needs to buy a good anchor. Several knuckle heads jumped all on me saying you don't need an anchor....he has a trolling motor....waste of money.....takes up too much room....etc.

To me it looks like a simple anchor and a cell phone could have been the ticket here. For a nominal fee (much less than a new hull) any marina would send out a tow boat or a couple gallons of gas. I just don't get how anyone would have CHOSEN to abandon his boat on the rocks if he was simply out of gas. That don't add up with me. But if that is the case, this boat owner may need to take up another hobby because he ain't got no sense.

Im not sure an anchor can hold you in 20mph north wind on ray roberts... Who knows. I would have been more then willing to even go last night and help him.

no powerpoles on it...

If anyone knows the owner I will tow the boat in for him in the morning

That's a little harsh when you don't know the curcumstances

+1 I'm sure the owner just decided hey the rocks on the dam look like a great place to leave my boat.
