Duck-n-Out gets a tow back

[Taylor's viewpoint]

Thursday and Friday were awesome out at the Ranch. On board Thursday were Keta, Jimmy Carl Black and a personal friend Dan. We went 4 for 4 on Thursday with the biggest being 46 inches. On Friday it was Keta, Myles, Dan and me. We got 3 fish for 4 people on board. We quit early because Dan needed to return and drive to Seattle to attend a funeral for his mother-in-Law. On Saturday we got out about 12 miles and sucked something into the pump and developed a severe vibration and had to shut it down. We limped back on the kicker, until the coasties came and gave us a tow back to port. Inspection showed a large plastic bag in the intake, or should I say part of a large plastic bag. After removing the bag, I backed into the water to check it out and the vibration was still there, so I packed up and came home.
Thanks to the guys who went out on Thursday and Friday for all the help. A special thanks to Keta for his assistance. Lee you are welcome on my boat any time any place.
To Bounty Hunter, Mirage and Myles: sorry about the short boat ride on Saturday. Maybe we can get together for a trip after the boat gets out ot the hospital.
It was great to put a face with so many ifishers, nice to meet all of you.

Thanks again for the opportunity to go after the flat ones TV. I was happy to meet you, Myles, and Mirage. I enjoyed the short trip and was sorry to witness the boat having trouble. As a boat owner I know how disheartening that can be. I hope it isn't too serious. She's a beauty and it'll be good to see her on the water again.

Thank you again George. I enjoyed the trip and your crew.

I hope your boat damage is minor.
PLASTIC BAGS NEED TO BE KEPT IN THE BOAT!!!! Yours is the 4th boat that I know of that has been damaged by plastic bags.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune.

Did you get my phone message George. We were running a little late Thursday. Keta said you pulled out about forty minutes ahead of us.

Sure was a beautiful ocean that first day aye.

Go's to show ya you have to lay your eye on it to make the decission. Thursday's predicted ocean showed up for Saturday.

Thanks George for the trip and putting us into fish on Friday. The boat ride Saturday was good as well, I really just wanted to be out on the ocean again and learn a few things.
Taking the boat in was the only call to make, there's too many stat's of people who push their luck just to get a fish.
It was good meeting some of the other ifishers, although I seemed to have missed some good celebrating. I prefer not to go out after drinking, so I stayed away .

Beautiful boat George, hope it's nothing critical.

Thanks a bunch to all the salty dogs for being such a generous group .
