We did the majority of our fishing just off the #7 channel marker waiting on Sea Tow to pull us back the 1.5 miles to the Lighthouse Ramp. On the way out we lost power almost immediately and after an hour of fuel flow investigations later,I found a broken 90 degree fitting on top of my tank under an access hatch... how that got broke is a mystery.. the tank is bolted down and nothing comes in contact with it. Or so I thought...
(Glad this didn't happen 25 miles out with the way the weather turned)
Loaded up and back to tally by noon...
We did manage 2 keeper trout, 10+ shorts and a sea turtle while waiting on Sea Tow to come from Panecea. It sure made the yearly fee seem worth it once I saw it was a $400 tow bill for non-members.
