how do i get my fishing boat back on the trailer
do i just drive it on full throtle or some other way?
Full throttle? Only if you want to take the boat home inside the back of your tow vehicle.
Driving a boat onto a trailer is perfectly acceptable regardless of what some have said here. Did it with our 25' cuddy cabin for years without
Beautiful Newport harbor and a tour of the fishing boat Excalibur, wow. Imagine sailing on a 90 ft aluminum boat to Hawaii then Tahiti, Fiji ...
GUNSAN, South Korea , March 9 (Yonhap) -- Nine fishermen were killed and one was missing when their boat caught fire and sank off South Korea's central west coast Saturday, maritime police said.
The fire started at about 4:30 a.m. on the 20-ton fishing boat in waters about 24 kilometers southwest of Gunsan, according to the police. Gunsan, a port city, is 274 kilometers southwest of Seoul.
The police said they received a distress call from the boat at about 5:20 a.m.
The boat's only survivor so far said the fire started from the engine room and that the crew members tried to put it out with seawater.
The fire spread quickly and out of control when the hose to a fuel tank burst, the 50-year-old fisherman, identified only by his surname Lee, was quoted by the police as saying.
The boat was discovered by Jeanne and Rick Beaver on an island north of Vancouver Island last summer, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported.
"We were just going out in the dinghy, touring around a bit, and I just glanced over at the beach, and I saw what I thought was an odd-shaped, an odd-colored log," Jeanne Beaver said. "I didn't really say anything to Rick, just kept going. And the next day, he went out by himself to take the dogs for a walk, and he came flying around the corner and, 'We've got a boat! We've got a boat!'"
"I'm just happy I made it back, you know what I mean? It's a blessing, that's all I can say," Small told NewsChannel 12 at his home in the town of Bath on Friday.
Small was one of three men aboard the 67-foot fishing boat, Seafarer, when it sent out a distress signal at about 10:39 a.m. Wednesday, 15 miles east of Assateague Island, MD. The two other crew members, 80-year-old Walter Tate and his nephew, 60-year-old Stephen Tate, both of Pamlico Beach, are still missing.
Small said during the whole ordeal, he thought about his wife and his five children. When he was reunited with them Thursday night, they were overjoyed.
With so many heading out to fish the river systems, anglers are reminded to do their part and carry out everything you carry in. Have respect for your fellow anglers and the resources around you, do not litter! Those using the fish cleaning stations are reminded to please turn the fish grinders on before placing carcasses in for disposal. This will prevent the grinders from getting plugged. St. Joseph River - Fishing is a little slow but anglers are starting to take a few chinook, coho and steelhead up near the Berrien Springs Dam. Most are drifting wobble glo's or corkies. Fishing in the lower river was slow. Smallmouth bass action was decent for those using small plastic baits. Walleye and catfish were slow. A word of caution to anglers; the river is extremely low which has exposed a lot of new obstructions. Caution needs to be used. Grand River at Grand Rapids - Has good numbers of coho however the fish are running small 12 to 14 inches. Most were caught on pink flies or spawn bags. Chinook and steelhead were caught on spinners, Hot-n-Tots, half a crawler or spawn. Brown trout were hitting on green Caddis flies. Those fishing off Fulton Street did well off the east wall with Hot-n-Tots. Good colors were gold or chrome with blue and a red lip. For walleye, boat anglers are trolling small crank baits upstream and drifting crawlers back down. Some big bluegills were caught in the lagoon at Riverside Park. Try wax worms or leaf worms. Mullett Lake - Anglers were targeting trout...
