Yes I do have tow Insurance by the way... So will a GW write you a ticket for being drunk? Will he right you a ticket for wreckless driving? Where is the game in that you guys can spin anything around get outside your comfort zone of small lakes and a ton of people around and boat docks around every corner and see what you do.

what happened to being able to ask for help when it is needed? I can say from a public safety standpoint that courtesy gets abused and then people who truly need help are forced to wait or not get that help cause we are tied up with system abusers or people that consider a sunburn a medical emergency. I guess that is the world we live in today. Would be nice if someone truly needs help one could ask for it without getting blasted. I don't work in your field so I'm not aware of the abuse. If I'm truly out of options I would ask for help from one of the public safety groups. NOTHING wrong with asking for help from the public safety sector. As was posted there might be times when they will not be able to offer assistance though. +1 I will agree with that Mark. I have said that above a few times on this post I know they can't help everyone.

I hit a sand bar on ray bob and broke the motor. Dad called around and the guy said it would a search and resuce or whatever. Had to leave the boat there and everything plus it was at night. Well [censored] never came probably cause he was watching the cowgirls and I had to troll in. Took me over three hours to get back but thank god I made it back safe in the middle of the night.

If he was in Caney there is a boat ramp right there and probably a few people around if he was nice he could of asked for a ride back to the public ramp to get his truck and somebody would've taken him to get his truck its not that far of a drive. Rayburn is a big lake thats why most of the time well everytime I go Im fishin a certain area I will drive to the nearest ramp to that area and put in there that way if it happens to me I will just troll my happy arse back to the ramp which Ive had to do a few times sucks but thats how I handle big lakes.

I was with a guy who called them and they towed a jet ski on lake tyler last fourth of july. It was at the dock and just needed to get to the ramp. Ramp was a good mile. Im sure he had other things to do. but it was nice of him.

Mark I know that you know this but it isn't just a problem with the departments of public safety, the problem is bad with public assistance, housing, all diferent kinds of "welfare" and the one I see daily, healthcare. There is a large and growing population of people that think that someone else should take care of all of their problems without them having to lift a finger. Sorry for getting off topic a little and I know that is bunker material. Jason

I once had my motor die on Falcon on the Mexican side about 15yrs ago called a friend and he towed me from Salanias to the state park. Also, once blew a powerhead on my motor on Lake Guntersville, called a friend who towed me back to Goose Pond marina. FRIENDS!!!

Maybe the GW could have given a number of a towing service.
I've had to walk out of a remote area on a river float trip. Took about 8 hours to reach a road and catch a ride. It was something I will never forget.

You guys crack me up do you even read the post or just jump on the train b/c everyone else did. I also think it's funny alot of you get on here and complain about some one running to close to you or fishing to close or you think they are acting in a bad way and the first thing you see is get there TX numbers and call the GW but you bash a guy that needs help unreal!
