Me and my buddy were cruising the cove in our friends tan colored dargel 13' scooter and we thought we could make it across some sand and we were wrong. Dug for about 20-30minutes and 2 guys in a carolina skiff poled over, hoped out and all 4 of us pushed the scooter off the bar. If you guys are on here, we really appreciated your help today. I didnt get yalls names, shook one of yalls hands after we got it off. Thanks again, lunch and drinks are on me if we ever meet up again.

Props to the guys who helped you. That's a scary feeling when you're stuck a long way from home and in an area with not a lot of traffic.

There was probably 15+ boats in the area, a few saw us and did nothing. We left, way too many boats in there to fish it well. Probably 20 trucks and trailers at wilsons cut plus all the yaks.

Good on them. There are a lot of a-holes out there, but mixed in are a few good peeps. I had a boat chase me down in January to return a life jacket that blew out of my boat after I dropped my kids off to wade. Had they not done that we would not have been legal for the trip back across the bay. I was very impressed.

Yeah, we try to respect other boats and yaks. I think we will reserve that area for during the week. We saw plenty of fish, but they all had lock jaw it seemed like. Sight casted, drug dead shrimp for drum, nothing...

Glad someone stopped and gave a hand.
We were cruising down ICW into Aransas Bay on Sunday with a charter group and saw about 6-7 guys cruise by in what looked like a small Stoner. Lots of barge traffic and around the mooring buoys at the end of ICW into Aransas(near Dunham) these guys were hung up on a reef in very shallow water. Looked like the towboat guy had stopped and pushed the barge he was pushing over at an angle so the deckhand could throw these guys a line. We had to navigate thru other barge traffic going both ways so all we could do was observe. Hope the barge got those guys off the reef....they were very lucky that they were not thrown out of the boat as it look rather overloaded to me. We were guessing that the Stoner tried to pass a barge on the far W side of the canal and ran aground in about 12" or less of water.

Wow!

I'm surprised nobody flamed you for prop scarring or not knowing the area before running thru it.

This bunch tends to pick and choose who they display their dis-content for.

Prop scaring what? The sand?? There wasn't any grass. We know that area, made a simple miscalculation due to the tide being way low. It happens.

I ran onto a spoil a while back. Hopped out, couldn't do it by myself. Made my crew (dad and uncle) get out or the boat and push Very Happy

It worked
