Garyv Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I heard a story about a boat downrigging wasaga bay a few years ago. They got hooked on nets and the boat went down with the two guys. Once in my boat i had to do an emergency stop. I went from full speed to neutral gave it one second then i went reverse half speed. I looked back and the stern just came up on the wave no problem. Had to buy new underware though. If the boat is heavy in the stern with a big motor then i can see it getting water over the back and going down. The same thing happned out of South Baymouth off Manitoulin island many years ago. The boat was a Starcraft 221 Islander with 4 riggers out and clutches not adjusted properly. Cost a few of the fishers their life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
