 high and dry on sandbar--easiest way off?20140707_135738.jpgI am a tournament fisherman with a sea ark 18 foot tunnel hull / 75 Etec / hydraulic jackplate
i fish a shallow sandy river with changing water level and sand bars unfortunately I have been stuck twice where it took over 4 hours to dig and push out last time my fishing partner yelled at me for 2 of the 4 hours and I missed my weigh in i admit to running too fast but i have to do that to get over the skinny water to where the fish are cant afford a new boat anyone have suggestions for a self contained, portable, 1 man system to pull a beached boat across a sandbar with 1-2" of water on it You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. |

Re: high and dry on sandbar--easiest way off? You have trees on both banks, so just get a winch, a couple hundred foot of winch strap, and a couple snatch blocks.

Re: high and dry on sandbar--easiest way off? Could keep a handful of Pvc sticks in the boat to roll on.

high and dry on sandbar--easiest way off? Get out. Put PVC pipes down first (longways) and then hit it wide open.

Re: high and dry on sandbar--easiest way off? I've never seen gator glide or frog spit slide on sand period everything even Teflon will stick to sand

Re: high and dry on sandbar--easiest way off? Coatings help - but rocks, oysters, and sand cause them to peel away
so they need regular touch ups from time to time... Even with coatings once you stop the pvc is the best trick to get back to deeper water.... _________________ Eat - Sleep - Hunt ! ! ! "It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end." |

Re: high and dry on sandbar--easiest way off? Winch, pvc, gatorglide. Bottom coatings don't do nothing on sand but they will make pushing on the pvc much easier.
