Yeah, I still go around the shallower reefs to be safe, My biggest fear has always been being thrown from a boat, especially since I have really low sides on mine, so I try to play it safe and always, ALWAYS! wear my kill lanyard. Only had this boat since March, so I know it's only a matter of time. See you out there."For those who have fought for it, freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know."
Semper Fi!

I was thrown from my gulf coast, we were turning and hit a wave buddy lost balance and grabbed throttle went wide open and we spun out... luckily I had the kill switch on...
Unclehandy was thrown from his shoalwater same type scenario, he hit my wake and he was gone... He now wears the kill switch, luckily his bro managed to stay on board and took it off plane, it was a run away boat for a few seconds...We are West End Anglers, a saltwater tribe!

SCARY!! Not a whole lot scares me. Ive had some wild times in my short days, (Only 24) but being thrown from my boat really scares me. Been thrown before, but wasnt driving luckily. Kill switch lanyards are a very improtant piece of gear, I urge you all to wear them religously. Be safe all.
Sorry to hijack this thread on shell reefs. I hear the shell is still holding fish, 6-8 feet."For those who have fought for it, freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know."

I rolled a jon boat a mile out of the SLP one time...if it wasn't for a Mako and a Boston Whaler, I'd of had a long swim home...against the current. Spent about 1 hour dog paddling with a strawberry tout stuck in my foot. Goodtimes now, bad time then. Hopefully we all learn from our mistakes.
Now we're really off topic.Don't be a Nancy!
If it smells like fish....you know I've been there!

I sank a Jon one time, well not completely sank but the motor did go under.
Luckily we were in 4ft of water!! Pulled the boat to the levee, emptied it, took the motor off, flipped it over to get the water out. Then carried every thing to the top of the levee and had to hoof it 2 miles back to the dike to get the car and trailer..
Man fun times!!
