Wife and kids bought me a gopro for fathers day so convinced them they need to go out to help with the first videos. They arent to big on getting up at 430. ðŸ˜

Hit the water about 630. About 150' of water and notice my bilge light is on. Rock the switch back n forth. Nothing. Light is on. Hit about 200' and decide to stop and check this out. Ut oh!!!!!!!!! Bilge pumping at full with a full engine compartment. Holy crap!

I stayed calm. Wifes crapping. Steam coming out of motor. Long story short, blew a coolant line off the motor. 😯

I ended up getting it back on the barbed fitting but i was puckered right up. Seriously thought we were going down for a moment. Phew.

Well. Nobody wanted to fish after that so i trolled for a few hours in 150-250. Rainbow bite was good w 200 dipsy. We got one successful video with my 9 yr olds first

At the end of the day. Everyone had a good time and would go out w dad again but what a scare for a min there

Bite for me was slow though. Most bait was around 70' over230 or so.

Cool vid! Nice seeing kids get fish! Just my 2 cents - run your snubber off the back of the dipsey instead of ahead of it! Good job!!!!

Glad things turned out well. I can imagine the feeling u had seeing that water. I agree with above put snubber behind dipsy that way it will pop easier when you are manually releasing it.

Ok. Txs for the suggestion. Will try swapping the dipsey around

Trash the snubber all together. They are only needed if you are trolling lighter leaders for browns.

Heck, I don't even use them for that!
