OMG Afran, this so sad and funny at the same time. We’ve all had some issue when we became first time boat owners 👍🏼. The anchor though that’s crazy it sounds like you never used it before. 😂
Best video yet... My photo journalism rule: Picture of you with elephant, boring. Picture of elephant falling on you, riveting. Way to keep the cameras rolling.
I caught a halibut in a north county lagoon with one of the weedless war baits broke off in the corner of his mouth. I released the fish but I still have that bait and have been wondering who the manufacturer was for years, now I know!
Is a 7 foot rod long enough for calico fishing? I have a 15-30 teremar with a crazy backbone. It launch’s swimbait a probably like 15-30 meters is this alright? How much distance should I be trying to get while calico fishing with swim baits?
Good fishing afran!! Just fished horseshoe kelp and on Sunday, came back with some barracuda and a few bass. No yellows yet! But I’m gonna go out on the condor out of fisherman’s in search of yellow and tuna!!
oh man....i feel your pain. cool to see the other side of fishing. based on youtube I thought every boat went out and caught a few150lbs bf and was home by dinner with no issues.
Wow aside from bad day those drone shots were incredible. I don’t think people realize how expansive the kelp Forrest’s are it is truly amazing. I hope they’re around for a long time given the sea urchin problem
Well at least you are adding to the structure of MB with the addition of the anchor. I was stressed for you just watching it. My kid and I had a similar experience in MB. It turned out to be water in the fuel from a cracked tank. the starter cranked and cranked but no fire. Got home drained the fuel, added fresh fuel and started right up.
If there is water in the fuel tank it will separate if you are standing still or barely moving. Fuel at the top water at the bottom. In our case we stopped to fish the Bahia Belle spot and slowly idled around. The engine sucked up water from the bottom of the tank and wouldn’t start back up. You should be able to stick a hose in the tank and siphon out the water. Then fresh fuel. Hopefully that will do the trick. Probably change the filter as well. Good luck.
Best one yet! This captures the true anxiety in a boat owners life. Thanks for keeping the camera rolling and showing us how Sh!t can hit the fan quick. The anchor was the best part. Your last statement is so true, "just wanna go fishing". I feel like I can't enjoy fishing when I'm always worried about my boat.
Man I know the feeling boats are always needing to be fixed. I had a 1995 17”mako cc for over 10 years broke down twice out in the water and that feeling of panic sucks even when you have sea tow. Finally got tired of fixing it and got a hobie kayak, I miss chasing the Palgics but not constantly paying for maintenance on the boat
WARBAITS FISHING by the way I love your channel I learn so much because you do all the same type of fishing but I fish the harbors in the oc. Love WARBAITS and all your techniques and Rodney Marquez and his techniques
Dude that’s some bad luck 2020 style. Don’t take this the wrong way cause stuff like that happens to everyone, but the anchor part made me laugh so bad I almost cried 😅. Love the videos and the Warbaits stuff! Keep it up man!
Sorry for th erough day, thanks for posting! Just a quick thought, I know with our old antique cars when things are not running quite right or have trouble idling, the first thing we do is check all the ground connections!! A lot of times if you have a bad ground it could seem like a timing issue, carbs, or even bad gas!! This is a simple and inexpensive thing to do to rule out, before you take it to a mechanic especially boats with all the corrosion, you would be surprised how many times that was the case!! Good Luck Lee Smith
Had the same thing happen in Mission Bay. My anchor was dragging and I was pushing my boat off the rocks with a 4' gaff. Luckily for me it was right in front of the lifeguard station and a lifeguard happened to walk out at the moment and look up and yelled "Hey do you need help?" I just looked at him and said "YA THINK!" The lifeguards towed me to the dock but would not help me put the boat back on the trailer.
Batteries only last 4-5 years, throw another $200 into that hole in the water. Also check fuel lines, the ethanol wreaks havoc, rots them out from the inside. Sounds like fuel issue.
Plan on doing an update video on the boat issues? Went out once blew the bellows on the onboard and started taking on water. Glad you made it back safe!
Definitely sounds like a fuel line. When fuel lines start to degrade, they get soft and pliable, and they collapse on themselves. When you give the motor throttle, the engine creates a vacuum and it draws the fuel from the gas tank. The more throttle you give, the stronger the vacuum. That's why it wants to die the faster you go. I'm not saying that's what it is for sure, but symptomatically that's what it sounds like. Fuel hoses have multiple layers. So although on the exterior it looks intact, the interior portion may have separated and pulled away, and it's collapsing on itself. The battery has zero to do with it. Especially once you turn the motor over. The battery is essentially unnecessary once the engine turns over. That's why when you were saying that you think there's something wrong with the battery because the motor was struggling, I said to myself, "Think again my friend....." But for the love of everything holy, renew your membership with Sea Tow or Vessel Assist. But I agree with everyone when it comes to the part where you said, "I'm going to throw out the anchor.", and you ACTUALLY threw out the anchor. I started CRACKING UP! Thanks for posting this video. Most fishing channels only show the highlights of the trip- not the defeating moments.
Wow I had a day like that this week after my 26lb yellow tail at Catalina. My motor got COVID-19 and in the shop right now so no more July fishing. 😡. Glad to see you ade it back safely. FISH ON SOON!!!
Wow, what a day! At least it didn't get in the rocks & you kept the hooks out of your fingers (sorry). Thats one of those days when you get home, lock all the doors & don't leave anywhere! Tight lines next time!!!
It looks to me like your fuel has too much water mixed in with it. Also your fuel/water filter is probably saturated with water. I put my boat in reverse to shake off the kelp stringers. Works well.
omg it sux when the motor wont start but that was way funny when the anchor went in the water i was laughing so hard and i couldnt stop had to show the old lady also it was way to funny hahahahaha
Watching this video was like dejavu. I had a day go just like yours with the anchor and the dead batteries and in the middle of kelp . It happens believe or not.
You've had some bad luck with batteries my friend. But those batteries shouldn't be causing that sputtering issue. @13:00 it sounded like its turning over pretty strong, just not firing. Seems more like a fuel\ignition problem.
bdpa kaknox sometimes you have to check your spark plugs and the connections for sure I had that problem with my boat and one of the plugs were loose from taking the cover off and one of the plugs went bad
@@WARBAITS Check your fuel system for water! My buddy had the same problem with weak idle and bogging at high speed....this can happen after sitting for a while due to condensation in your fuel tanks. Good luck bro!
Holy shit when you tossed the anchor I lost it😂 literally everything that could go wrong while fishing went wrong, one of those days haha sick video tho! Keep up the great work
OMG Afran, this so sad and funny at the same time. We’ve all had some issue when we became first time boat owners 👍🏼. The anchor though that’s crazy it sounds like you never used it before. 😂
It was funny for sure. The shop worked out the issue.
Trolling motor ? HELLO 😄😄😄
Dead batteries
Talk about a kelp Forrest!
It was thick
love the vids keep them coming
Thank you!
Bring On Another Thousand
100%
Man hope you got it running
Up and running. Check out the newest videos
i rock AGM batteries ...they are solid
👍🏻
Any day good or bad on the water is better than NO day on the water. Smoothly edited vid, easy watch.
Tune up and new batteries
Gotta check your spark plugs. Sounds like one is not firing properly.
Somewhere in that La Jolla kelp is a world record calico.
Agree
Best video yet... My photo journalism rule: Picture of you with elephant, boring. Picture of elephant falling on you, riveting. Way to keep the cameras rolling.
Thank you!
Hey, THRESHER Boats, San Clemente!
Get You One...:)
That moment he throws the anchor out I just lost it 🤣 bruh it was not your day
What kind of boat?
Great videos!
Rough day. Glad you are safe.
My mercury was doing the same thing so I pulled the cowling and it ended up being a disconnected vacuum line
Thanks!
I've seen this several times and it's almost always been a bad perko switch.
Cool to see the kelp from above...and the surface openings within the kelp forest. Which Mission Bay launch did you use?
Dana Landing launch
Can I get some idea what size year and motor on your boat please thank you so much 🙏🏼
Key West Bay Reef 196 / 115hp motor
WARBAITS FISHING 🙏🏼Thank you so much
I caught a halibut in a north county lagoon with one of the weedless war baits broke off in the corner of his mouth. I released the fish but I still have that bait and have been wondering who the manufacturer was for years, now I know!
Thank you for the support
Get you a portable jump starter. I had the same problem as you bro.
Great idea
What drone did you use for your video capture ?
Too funny with the anchor. Its happened to me before. ROFL!
too funny!
What a horrible day bro.
I was at lake Murray Last week and I rented a boat. I went to cast the anchor and the same thing happened to me.
Good learning lesson. More structure for the bottom!
I know this is an old comment, but I found 2 anchors at Murray last week since it’s so low! I’ve got backups!
we love the anchor scene...still busting up
too funny!
You kick ass we are huge supporters love your product
That’s why you bring paddles
Correct!
What I don't get is u have a trolling motor but u didn't use it in the kelp?
There no way to use the trolling motor in the thick kelp. And the trolling motor is broken 😆
Wow! The struggle IS real🤙
What time did you go out ?
How big is this boat?
20ft
B.reak O.ut A.nother T.housand 😅
TRUE
Glad to see someone who is willing to share the same problems the rest of us have!
💯
Nice ending at the end all good
I have boat u.s. , but I bought an audew lithium ion charger just in case . Hate to get stuck out there.
Awesome shots of the kelp beds!
First trip of the year?
Is a 7 foot rod long enough for calico fishing? I have a 15-30 teremar with a crazy backbone. It launch’s swimbait a probably like 15-30 meters is this alright? How much distance should I be trying to get while calico fishing with swim baits?
The rod will work for calico bass
🔥
Glad to see your back on land!
Oh the anchor was just too much.
Good fishing afran!! Just fished horseshoe kelp and on Sunday, came back with some barracuda and a few bass. No yellows yet! But I’m gonna go out on the condor out of fisherman’s in search of yellow and tuna!!
You’ll get one soon. Now is the right time
oh man....i feel your pain. cool to see the other side of fishing. based on youtube I thought every boat went out and caught a few150lbs bf and was home by dinner with no issues.
Haha! I agree! Thanks!
Wow aside from bad day those drone shots were incredible. I don’t think people realize how expansive the kelp Forrest’s are it is truly amazing. I hope they’re around for a long time given the sea urchin problem
It’s really fun to fish!
Bummer on the battery but those drone shots were sick! Bet theres thousands of calicos under those weeds.
I’ve had this type sketch session one too many times lol! I don’t miss it, suggestion: complete repower! Lol
I'd love a repower!

It turned out to be water in the fuel from a cracked tank. the starter cranked and cranked but no fire. Got home drained the fuel, added fresh fuel and started right up.
I’m thinking fuel or fuel filter. Boat goes in soon. How did you drain the tank?
If there is water in the fuel tank it will separate if you are standing still or barely moving. Fuel at the top water at the bottom. In our case we stopped to fish the Bahia Belle spot and slowly idled around. The engine sucked up water from the bottom of the tank and wouldn’t start back up.

Warbaits A-rig and Surface Iron would be sick!
What boat is this??
Key West Bay Reef 196

I laughed after watching it too
At least you made it ok 👌 good job brotha 🤙🤙🇲🇽🇲🇽

Can go wrong with the Hobie! Thanks!

Wow!! Stressful situation. Glad you made it back safe
Whew. Glad it turned out ok. We have the same hat. Fancy that.
Need some lithium batteries next upgrade
Hhahahahhahah he threw the anchor out! sorry man that was so funny
That should not have drained your battery if it was a fully charged good battery. Sorry for your limp mode! Hear alarm now...ooops.
That sucks! I’m glad u got on the calicos tho. What reel is that on the 10 foot ulau? Tourim 20?
I put a Penn Fathom 2 on it
WARBAITS FISHING ok sick thanks. Do you have an opinion on that rod?
Glad you got in with only a little bit of trouble, I wouldn't wish boat problems while on the water on anyone.
Every boaters nightmare. Sorry that happened to you, we’ve all been there! Glad it made it back to the trailer
Thanks!
Always renew your BoatU.S. card!!! and it looks like it's time for a new Fourstroke! and another great video!
What a day, huh. Either laugh or cry. Good on you for keeping your cool.
Sounds like a fuel issue? My buddy beaches his boat last night after having problems and no anchor. Cost him a arm and a leg to get out
Sounds like a fuel issue
So what was the problem, I hope you got it resolved brotha
It’s going to the shop this week
Dude that’s some bad luck 2020 style. Don’t take this the wrong way cause stuff like that happens to everyone, but the anchor part made me laugh so bad I almost cried 😅. Love the videos and the Warbaits stuff! Keep it up man!
So much kelp, it aint like that over here in os. Looks cool and hope everything is fixed!
Thanks!
man good for you for posting this... most people would delete this footage. Lol... I'm only laughing cause I know your home safe. cheers...
check your fuel lines and fuel filter, if you let the boat sit for a while with bad fuel it it could have crystallized and clogged it up.
Cracked head
Does your trolling motor work. That would of been my go to.. awesome video man.
Glad you made it back brother! 🙏🏻
Keep us updated on what the problem was
Will do, boat goes into the shop soon

Fuel pump?
Possibly or the fuel fliter
Fishing is always an adventure. Glad you made it back to the dock safe!!

What are your rod and reel set ups for the surface iron?

I’ll have an update for sure

I'm thinking fuel line also. Boat goes in soon
Stressful af! Glad you got warmachine home! That was a good calico though! ✌
Spark plugs or blocked carbs is my guess
I am thinking spark plugs. Cases are shattered or something
I was thinking the carbs also
But did you laugh,learned,and had fun? I had a experience with we the water current on my 2nd time kayak fishing in Malaga Cove.
Losing is learning
Dame! Sorry for a tough day bro! Way to keep calm tho! I would’ve lost it! Good video!
Goes to show that you should have two batteries and a small kicker engine
You overheated it blew head gasket my guess.. I have been there I have been towed in 5 times
yowhats the latest?
been there before with the kelp off pont loma and overheating etc.
What mechanic do you use?
West Coast Marine
Wow
I had a day like that this week after my 26lb yellow tail at Catalina. My motor got COVID-19 and in the shop right now so no more July fishing. 😡. Glad to see you ade it back safely.
FISH ON SOON!!!

🛠 thanks! Glad I didn’t hit the rocks either. I was closer than the video picked up
That drone shot of the kelp was sick though!! Looks real healthy down there.
It looks to me like your fuel has too much water mixed in with it. Also your fuel/water filter is probably saturated with water. I put my boat in reverse to shake off the kelp stringers. Works well.
Great thoughts. Thanks!
felt sorry for you but I couldn't stop laughing , especially the anchor. glad you got back safely, good luck on the kayak.
💯
omg it sux when the motor wont start but that was way funny when the anchor went in the water i was laughing so hard and i couldnt stop had to show the old lady also it was way to funny hahahahaha
2020 in a nutshell. Bro when you threw the anchor over the side I was mid bowl hit. Started bustin up!
Bro, I couldn't help but laugh.... You can't make this stuff up lol glad you got back to shore safely!
Watching this video was like dejavu. I had a day go just like yours with the anchor and the dead batteries and in the middle of kelp . It happens believe or not.

HOW Much is that engine he has typically?
Holy shit when you tossed the anchor I lost it😂 literally everything that could go wrong while fishing went wrong, one of those days haha sick video tho! Keep up the great work
Thanks for the support!
Mr Coltonator 😂😂😂 that was Murphy’s law. Sorry 😂😂😂
Deng boats. Been there, done that. At night too. Drone shots of the year tho! So pretty.
