ENGINE TROUBLE 127 miles offshore! (Grouper Catch/Clean/Cook)

In this episode we head almost 130 miles offshore to Pulley Ridge in the Gulf of Mexico. I’m fishing with my friend Garrett aboard his boat but he got dirty fuel the night before. He thought he cleaned the fuel system the night before, but we run into a lot of trouble while fishing! We catch some really nice snowy grouper so the trip was worth it, but it had us all a little nervous! The VST wound up being the culprit that was clogged up with the debris from the bad fuel.

    When you buy a boat, everything on it is broke, just takes a little while to discover it.

    Your first problem is going that far offshore on a Suzuki your second problem is you have two Suzuki’s. Had they been a Yamahas they would’ve got you back home.

    @basebilljr07

    The reason you had engine problems is because they messed up and put Suzuki engines on the boat When they should've put yamaha's

    Marina would be paying for the repair costs. It’s their responsibility to make sure they are providing customers good clean fuel especially when the fuel they receive is good clean fuel.

    30 dollars for two hamburgers. That’s called bidenomics

    That was definitely one of your better videos! Nice catch of snowies. And that bad fuel issue..... it's the reason I installed top of the line Racor fuel filter/water separators on my boat. We got some bad fuel one time in the Bahamas and had to keep stopping to drain off the water in the Racors, but nothing got past them and we had no engine issues, thank God. I knew that day those Racors paid for themselves. Anyway, nice catch, and at the end of the day that will be the trip you remember and talk about later. Cheers

    That was a brutal trip. Last time I was down we had the air pump fail 20 miles out. Long slow ride back to shore, 5 hrs, but we trolled all the way back in and got a half dozen keeper Dolphin so it wasn't a total loss. Sometimes you gotta make lemonade.

    Nick, I spent 20 years at sea as an Engineer Officer on a cruise liner, one of my responsibilities was looking after 22 lifeboats and launches, from 2 cylinder to twin 12 cylinder. I know from that experience, that you have the right attitude to be a boat captain.

    Good opportunity to sell them one of those $1.5M Freeman’s you listed 😂

    Twin engines and separate tanks for the win. It'll be a long while before I can afford anything that could reasonably run twins but having two motors on separate systems is a smart move. Glad you guys made it back in a reasonable time frame and caught some really nice fish.

    You might be a fisherman, but you’re probably not a go 130 miles out on a questionable engine and catch a double on the mini rod kinda fisherman. You’re a fishing beast Nick!

    Glad y’all got back safe and still found a few fish. Have been to pulley 4 times and it’s always prayers on the way in and out.
