Carry your cell phone in the boat with you next time, you dolt.

send me a PM or get my cell number from Neal or Matt - I am usually around in the evenings too so when you pull a brilliant move like that, you can get some help...

did he survive? we are looking for him now...SOS

I checked my cell and had a call from him around 10. when I picked up the message I thought it was from this morning. hope you made it out ok dave, without spending the night floatin around!

All I know is he left a message on my cell phone at about 10:00pm last night. He didn't say what it was about, just said call him. I called back this morning, no answer. I get to work and Neal calls me to say he ran out of gas out by Port Madison.

N%$$*@ PLEAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE!

That sucked.
Got home at 2 wet and cold.
Anchor would not hold and actually came to the beach at P Madison.

Sorry I was asleep when you called, bro.

I got a call around 10:00 and was rounding up a few gas cans and preparing to pick up a cold wet Dave from someones yard in Port Madison. When I heard vessel assist was coming I went to bed. Dave I saw that you called at 1:55 this morning. I hope it was just to say that you made it home safe. Glad you made it out of that fairly unscathed. -Tom

Ouch, and we thought the fishing was bad.

So did ya catch anything other than a new nickname?

Damn, Vessel assist isnt cheap, did you have to use them?

Am I the only person not surprised by this?

If anyone is going to run out of gas out in the Sound, my first vote would always go out to Seastuck.

Did you lose a kicker motor this time, drop a baggie, break any rods, or swamp any cell phones?

No?

You got off lucky!

Ah Come on Parker, give a guy a break!

Basic Property damage was so two years ago...Now we're shooting for Mortality, modern day folklore, and beyond!

The Legend That is Seastuck.

I can laugh....



....because I wasn't there.

As crummy as that must have been to endure, hopefully it is your one big #$$#up of the season. I was there last year when you got to Seiku and had left your boat keys at home and you got through that one ok too. Now that you got that out of the way you can go forth and slayeth some salmon! How was that crab? You should have bartered with vessel assist.-Tom

Glad you made it out alive!

My favorite personal best was bas gas (Tesoro in Forks) taking out my main and kicker at Tatoosh. Next stop was Japan.

It sucks to the one with fuel problems.

I had water in my fuel at Cathlamet. Took draining out the separator filter three times before my main would stay running.

ugh... reliving the bad moments here I guess. Sol I gotta hand it to you, you spread the junk faster than a whole pack of bored housewives at a mary kay party

Parker... If you had a boat you too would be able to f%$#k up the works now and then. Seastuck is just lucky enough to have intra web buddies. Poor bass turd.

This post was in retaliation for his "Nice socks" comment awhile back.

"YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?" Paybacks are a biotch!

The story:
Fished until dark. Fishing sucked. Get ready to run home and the main died. I knew right away and said "[censored] we are out of gas". Dudes looked at me and said "are you shitting me?".
I call everyone I know who lives near Bainbridge. Voice mail city.
I put out two anchors. Neither held. I call Vessel Assist. We come aground on a rocky beach at Port Madison. Me and a bud jump out and work the boat over to a sandy beach. We stayed in the water so the boat wouldn't get scratched up on the beach for an hour.
$250 later I get home at 2 am.
SolDuc fished with me for the first time last night. Probably the last time. He was not to hip on the whole thing but had a good attitude about it.
I have never run out of gas in any vehicle before.....not my car or motorcycle or anything but my [censored] lawnmower.
If we had been blackmouth fishing in the winter the whole deal would have sucked much worse.
Hey Sol I'm drawing a blank on the white sox story...

Alcohol related amnesia, no doubt. Does this photo refresh your memory?

I won't even mention the "Bummer about the hair" comment you levied when I made the cover of S&SJ.

Dave,
Good to hear you made it out okay.
Keep that fuel tank filled up prior to each trips.

What a f'n crazy night this was..left Shilshoe at 4:30 and returned at 1:30. We came pretty damn close to some rocks in front of a water front home but some how missed them by inches. Dave was wading in the water holding the boat from grounding to deep on the beach for a good hour with a steady 10 mph wind from the north. Vessel Assist came along and pulled us out away's and gave us 5 gallons of gas @ 50.00 gallon.

The rest of the story cannot be told on here....lol

Thanks Dave....I guess ?

BYOG.

I think the grandpa looking socks are sexy!

Sol needs some black wingtips to pull off those socks. Otherwise, full of fail!

Now I know what to charge the next time someone runs out of gas at Sekiu and I come to their rescue.

The person who invents an accurate fuel gauge for a boat will become a wealthy man. I've never owned a boat where the gauge read right. Didn't matter if I'm sitting level in the water, on the trailer, or moving. They all suck.


Glad to hear it didn't turn out too bad. [censored] happens!

If I get a pair one of them is likely to take flight and seek refuge in your ass!

Bummer to hear about your night, Dave. Glad you guys & the boat are all safe...

Yet another page in the Seastrike story!

Hey, without Dave what would we laugh about on the water. Daves good for at least two stories a year that can be retold to our grandkids many years from now...cheers

glad u made it back ok dude

Thats sum funny Shiat right there. Good comeback Sol. -T

ps
Hey Parker SCREW YOU.

You said that right. I went with a fuel flow meter on my boat. Heck with the guage reading a float in a boat fuel cell. She has an alarm that goes off at 15gl.

The best gas gauge is a sight gauge. If you see gas in the tank, you have gas, if you dont see any gas, you dont have any gas.

Pretty simple!

Glad you guys made it out of this situation without any damage to the craft or worse.

BTW Dave, I've got some spare 10' oars and some extra oar locks you could should install

Screw you too Rylee!

I can almost see Dave's eye twitching from here.

Few more jabs Ryley and I think we can get him to snap!

I'm only 10 minutes from your office Parker. Better lock your door.

No worries. It's "Bring All Your Zombie Rifles To Work Day" here at the UW!

Phew. TGIBAYZRTWD!

Bring a lunch.

Fixed that for ya, Andy.

Yeah, that's it, Parker! Okay, I'll pile on.

I title this post "All I want for Christmas, by Seastrike"

1. 1000' spool of bungee cord. Tie one end to truck, other end to boat.
2. A chevron gas card.
3. EPIRB, so we know where to send the salvage crew.

Thanks Parker!

When is your next trip, Dave? This is a prime opportunity to advertise open seats.

lmfao

Time for shower and pick up the boy for guitar lesson and the M's game. No chance or running out of gas there.
Hey Andy take care of Parker for me. I realize it's a bit of a drive but hey..what are friends for?

Best thread EVER. Ok, maybe for just today.

I can always count on you Tim.

I bailed your ass out on the dog sitting deal, and if I had gotten your call last night I would have launched my boat from Fay Bainbridge and brought you some gas, and you *KNOW* it. That kind of loyalty comes with a price, and your paying it now.

Brian.....that is a good one. Sucks to be you today Dave. Sucks being the brunt of everyones jokes.....I should know......been happening to me for 27 years now

Tim

Hey Sol
Just jabbing you and you know it.
Off to pick up the boy and do guitar and Mariners...

Andy I still want you to take Parker out....

Its covered.

Well, Hello Mr. Fancy Pants!

I'm more of a suppressed .22 in the temple, or a sawed off .410 shotgun using .45ACP round in the temple kinda guy!

But, if I ever turn in to a zombie, watch out! That's one mean looking rifle.....chambered in .600 Nitro Mag!

"What do you shoot with that rifle?" T-Rex's......

I like anyone that can run out of gas yet probably had fish whistle fuel to spare.

Man Dave, I am glad you made it out OK, last Thursday I kept looking at the fuel gauge pinned on E and was a little worried til you told me the gauge does not work.
I've always relied on the piece of lath fuel measuring stick technique, even make marks with # of gallons on it.
This is one of those only going let it happen once in life things, just makes one wonder how many more of those you can discover. Kidding.

I like big bores.


Subtlety isn't in my play book.

reminder to self, do NOT fook with Dogfish

I'm really a pretty down to earth guy. When the zombies come out, just make it to my house, I'll have spares rifles and ammo for ya. I'll be in the safe room.

Seastuck....

Ha, now that's funny................ All in favor of changing his screen name vote now.......
