Ecofina 5/21/11

:-D Set out from the ramp around 7:00. Running along anticipating a good day-then the moter abruptly died. :smt011. What the heck. So we crank up and plane out again, 30 seconds later it died. :smt010 We thought all the Ethanol probelems were fixed because it ran great last trip. We are dead in the water almost to the mouth a nice couple from Pelham stopped to see if we wanted a tow back to the ramp. We said thanks but were going to work on it here. It would crank and idle without dying so we decided to put to my closest spot and started fishing. The water was crystal clear and the weather perfect. Water temps went from 75-79 degrees. Daniel caught the 1st fish it was the smallest cobia I have ever seen.Image

Continued on fishing just drifting where ever the tide took us and caught a few fish including this spanish.Image

Uploaded with ImageShack.us When you cant go where you want you happen across new spots. We found some great places that should hold scallops and flounder. We only cranked the moter to redrift a couple of times because it really was sounding odd. At lunch we saw the couple from Pelham again wanting to see if we needed a tow since they were heading in. We said thanks but said we would idle in later. Around two we decided to head in. About halfway up the river the moter started to knock and a preacher from Sylvester offered us a tow. Image
Got back to the ramp and headed home to clean up the boat and try to figure out what the problem with the motor was. Here is a pic of the catch.Image The next day Daniel said that he found one piece of trash in the bottom carb and that one cylinder was getting no gas. Probly going to have to rebuild the moter now. :smt011

Thanks for the report. Sorry about the bad motor luck but you did catch some fish!

We were at Keaton. Came home with one keeper trout, one good spanish and three good size rock bass. A bad fishing day for us but a good day on the water.
