Thanks to J2 on Raritan Bay
Fished today in high winds out of Great kills into NJ side of the Raritan. Lots of large fish on the screen, with not much action. Many boats were hooked up w numerous smaller stripers while trolling. Ran out of fuel on my way back just a mile away from the launch. Hailed down a boat named J2 who towed me in for 20 minutes out of their busy fishing day. Did not accept anything in return. Much appreciated as we were rowing agains a stiff NW wind T 15-20 knots and would have been home way late. I always return a favor to my fellow fishermen and much obliged.

Re: Thanks to J2 on Raritan Bay
First,, great job to the J2 helping a fellow boater out, but how the heck do you run out of fuel? Always use the 1/3 rule 1/3 out, 1/3 back and 1/3 just in case! Fill up before you leave !

Re: Thanks to J2 on Raritan Bay
The problem is getting fuel gauges that work. Old Model T's I think had a sight glass and the fuel tank was in back of the dash so you could see the fuel all the time.

Re: Thanks to J2 on Raritan Bay
I have a regular tank with a 9.9hp. Usually use 1 gallon per day max as I don't go far but today with the wind and a bit of trolling at low rpm, apparently I used more than expected. I'm hoping J2 read the thread and accepts my gratitude. Me and my friends tow people in quite often. Code of honor for us.

Re: Thanks to J2 on Raritan Bay
I was on my way into Keyport on Sunday and past a boater in distress. I threw them a line and towed them to the municipal ramp (where they started). Karma baby.

Re: Thanks to J2 on Raritan Bay
Great job by the Capt of the J2. Hey guys give him a break as they say sh*t happens. Been towed in a couple times in my day
 blown drive twice etc. i also towed a few in as well. That's the great part about our sport almost all the people boat follow the unwritten rule of helping a boat in distress. I will bet anything that want happen again to him, we live we learn. Glad every one is home safe.
