Did'nt get to go on saturday due to schedule conflicts. I got up early(4:30) to get the stuff ready to go to town and gas up and be able to take the short cut through boston. I start to get the boat ready and realize that the battery is dead. So I go get the battery out of the duck boat and install it(It's way up under my console) But I still have time and am on schedule to get out of the river before low tide. I start to pull off BLOOP BLOOP BLOOP #%@*flat tire on the trailer. Takes 30 minutes to change that. Try holding a flashlight and changing a tire at the same time, in grass.(I could not find my PETZL Led head lamp!) So no gas I pick up my friend and his boy and we go to T-ville to gas up. We get to the landing and there is still enough water, so off we go. Running slowly through the cut bam hit a rock, but no damage. Get back in the main channel some yahoo fly by me and wets everyone in the boat. @#*@# (Sea Pro boat I think) I see him stopped later and am tempted to return the favor ......but I don't. The water was clear with a lite chop and 75-77 all day, but I couldn't catch jack. I caught 1 15" trout and 4 shorts and nothing else. Unless you count a shark on strips. Did see a huge ray with a cobia in tow but wouldn't bite. I met Sea Chaser at the landing he was having a bad day as well. He destroyed his prop that he said he just got back. SC that rock you hit is at 30.01.581 by 83.56.946 Oh and I hit the same rock in the cut on the way back in. Luckilly no damage.

Everybody knows there ain't no rocks at Anky ....

I wonder just how many pounds of aluminum there is in that river mouth?

The area you hit the rock straight out from marker is SHALLOW. I always bear to the left of the marker and that pipe marking the oyster bar (Kinda towards rock island). You get in much deeper water quicker. Going straight out from the marker has some shallow spots and some rocks hidin'....



Even without catchin much, a day on the water beats a day at work....

Now that's funny....I don't care who you are!

Hit n Miss, sorry you had the boat trouble (and the fish trouble), but you gotta look on the bright side -- You barely escaped a gruesome death when that giant stingray passed your boat. Coulda been headline of:

Ps. Sending PM later on duckhunting topic.

Tough day H&M, but for the record my Sea Pro was in the yard and not on the water Sunday. I hate that another Sea Pro owner is making us all look bad. I also hate that I didn't get to get to the coast this weekend. Maybe the next trip will better for both of us.

It's the global warming causing the critters to attack helpless humans.

Methinks I heard Al Gore say that!

i feel your pain,
had to take my prop to Perry yesterday to get the dings out of it
those rocks move around at night

Nice to meet you. Had a great weekend till I was introduced to the "rock". Thanks for the info. I have fished that same area many times without any problems. I had been told that "rock" was more west of the mouth, but I know better now. Saturday there was a school of trout in that same vicinity and about 10 boats, but the rock stayed down. Oh well, another 3-400 smackers down the drain.
