Washington Fishing

The Online Source for Washington Fishing Information

The article I posted earlier sparked a topic idea. Have any of you guys ever crashed your boat? How did it happen? What about hitting objects or birds?

I drive fast but I don't try turning much at high speed trimmed all the way up. I also don't jump wakes except occasionally by accident. So I have never really had an accident. I almost spun out once in my first boat by trying to crank the wheel all the way at WOT. Luckily for me it was only a 100hp motor so I wasn't going super fast.

Pretty sure. Do you have another theory?

Uhhhh, are you sure that was bird oil?

Once on Lk Washington my buddy and I took off before light and we were going pretty slowly when a boat passed us. I didn't like that so I told Bill, "watch this" and opened it up. We went flying by the guy and were going about 60mph when I saw the silhouettes of some birds in front of us, Coots I think. One of the birds changed it's mind at the last second and turned right in front of us. There was a weird splash and wall of water that soaked both of us. About 2 minutes went by before Bill looked over at me and said "my face feels kind of oily". We both had some kind of bird oil all over our faces.
Uh oh, here we go.

It sounds like Maderos has some experience with having different types of oily/ creamy substances on his face.

Maybe that's why he fishes with a facemask on?

I bet it was... Oh never mind, this is just too easy. I'll let this one go.

No, that's exactly what I meant small fry.
