I'm high center pretty bad below Jacks Pocket in Trinity Bay. I Had had a buddy come out in his boat, but he couldn't get close enough to me to try and tow. We also had 3 guys trying to push but no go. I called sea tow but they charge $200 and hour and his boat drafts a foot and a half, so I figured Id see if someone else had an airboat or a LOT of rope or a really skinny running boat to help out! PM me for my number if you can help. THANKS

Are you high and dry, or just not able to float? do you have people with you in your boat? are there other boats around that could run someone to your truck? If so, have them go and buy a bunch of 2" PVC and large bumper jack, flag down another boat to bring it equipment to you and put the pvc under your boat and PUSH like mad!!!!!!!

shudda.......

WOW I can't believe there are no shallow runners on that side of the bay..
Trinity is the deeper bay tho and is probally full of v hulls...
Good luck bud,, you do have skeeter repellent right.. If no flats boats can help mabey the coast guard could assist...

Dude, that sucks! Been there, done that in my pops El Pescador. Are you in a flat bottom? I'm not trying to be a smart arse, but have you lightened the load as much as you possibly can? If so, try to find something to use as a pry bar and get unstuck first. You may have to dig out some sand to make it happen. Then you need lots of muscle or a tow boat. If I was anywhere close I'd come out there and help you. Just keep your head up and try to flag down any boats in the area. Hopefully some good samaritans will come to your aide. Good luck!

You have less than two hours to ask the CG to send a chopper for you guys while it is still day light...Do they fly after dark?

My thought is you seem to be exausting your possibilities like high tide, 3 guys pushing, getting some air boat help, etc so perhaps it is time to think about getting yourselves out before the swarming of skeeters starts...

It seems if you cannot get the boat off neither can a thief?

Guess you could have motor and other items stolen but those can be replaced...

Would another 3 or 4 guys enable you to push it out of there?

About how ow far are you from deeper water?

Wish I could help you all out...

How about TP&W game warden in his boat?

How about Sheriffs Dept guys in one of their rescue boats

How about somebody with Navy Seal type inflatable with large motor

Best of luck to ya..
