Power Poles

[Steve_A]

Be carefull using your power pole as an anchoring device while wading, especially in windy conditions. We found a 23' Shoalwater cat drifting in the Chocolate Bay channel and it's owner waving frantically at us from 300 yards away.

Ummm. WOW....


That would be a site. Catching huge trout and start to head back to your boat. "Wait a minute, I know I parked it over there. Man my wife is gonna be pizzed".

Glad you were able to help him out. Good on you..

Sneeky eases the boat along wih us ,with his remote control power pole by lefting it up then putting it down when the boat gets closer to us. Way to help the guy out Steve.

Good job rescuing the dude and his boat. I've never had my Stakeout Stik pull out, even in a really hard wind. Of course it didn't cost over a thousand dollars or come with a remote! LOL

Seriously? Scary thought to believe that would act as an anchor...Oh well.

X2, people that purchase these thing believe thats what they are, an anchor. Even though they may be advertised as a shallow water anchoring system that is not what they were originally designed for. This is not the first time a boat has come loose and won't be the last. Gater

Clark08 and myself saved a guy last year in west whose boat also got away from him while using a PP. It was all operator error in that the guy misjudged how fast his boat would push with the wind. Lifted the PP up with his remote while wading back to the boat and couldn't catch up fast enough. Good thing we were close by to give him a lift.

I made an artificial reef out of one power pole near SLP. Aqua Pimp waded 150 yards in waders in 10 seconds flat after the Bote once; that's 2 chapters that come to mind.

Chapter 3.... TTU Wader picks up AQUA PIMP and takes him to pick up Black Jack 100 yards away ..... Chapter 4......... AQUA PIMP dont use power poles no more for wading. Chapter 5....... JT takes off with power pole down and breaks off bracket for 2nd time. Chapter 6....... Power Pole bracket breaks while anchored up on reef.....
