Instant Karma....

So last weekend we got out on Big Break for a couple of hours on Sunday. We are drifting along fishing spinners for LMB along a stretch of tulies and these two guys come cruising through in a PB. The POS actually watches me cast and then instead of going behind us like most non-POS types this guy runs right over where we are casting to. My first thought is to cast out and hook his passenger and teach them both a leason about running between people fishing and the places they fish. Hell if he thought there was no room he could have said something and we would have moved in so he could go around us. Instead I make one more cast to show them that we were fishing right there. He blows us off and keeps going and suddenly I can't control myself I am dying. I tell Sarah watch this guy this is going to be great. We had just paddled through the area he was heading to and at low tide I knew at best there was a foot of water and the tide was slowing but still going out. About two seconds later I almost fall out of the kayak laughing as he has finally realized his prop is in the mud. What does he do? He raises the motor up a bit and tries to gun it. Only he is heading into even less water and I guess just didn't know it. All of a sudden the boat comes to quick stop and his passenger who is now up on the front looking out almost falls off the front of the boat. About ten minutes later when I am thinking about paddling over and asking if they need help the two of them are jumping up and down on the front of the boat trying to get the motor to pull up out of the mud. Well finally they got it unstuck enough to raise the motor high enough to limp back out to deeper water. The two of them slow motor away with heads held very low. So instant karma was ours, perhaps for not making that cast after all.

We finished the day with two LMB each. If I can remember I'll post pics and a quick report  later.

Great story! Gotta love the mud!

Big J

love it 

I hope they heard you laughing.

It would have been a perfect time for a long cast into the side of his boat .

Nice story!

CHEERS!

I love when it works out like that  .

I have had my share of encounters like that!
