STRANDED | San Diego Inshore Fishing

STRANDED in the kelp. Stranded in the bay. Broke motor. Well, in search of yellowtail and big calico bass. Yellowtail fishing was funky. Bass fishing was starting pop off. Boat motor was not happy. Finally got it loaded onto the trailer at hours of stressing. This is Fishing.Thank you for the Support!

Pretty much 2020, in a Warbaits video.

[@batmanle428]

Rebuilt the carbs and check spark do a compression test

[@gregnelson7545]

Glad to see someone who is willing to share the same problems the rest of us have!

[@mochi8268]

felt sorry for you but I couldn't stop laughing , especially the anchor. glad you got back safely, good luck on the kayak.

[@WARBAITS]

[@lukerutherford1174]

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

[@MrColtonator]

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

[@WARBAITS]

Thanks for the support!

[@victorsr6708]

Mr Coltonator 😂😂😂 that was Murphy’s law. Sorry 😂😂😂

[@GettingBentWithBo]

My god! You never really realize just how much kelp there is at La Jolla. Those drone shots really open your eyes. It truly is a kelp forest!

[@drrckhamilton]

Hey E, You could have stopped the camera from rolling but you didn't and honestly I appreciate it. Sorry for such a tough day man but that was real life.

[@WARBAITS]

Thanks! It was just unbelievable, too many weird situations. I rarely have boat issues. This was a good one!

[@drrckhamilton]

@@WARBAITS Hope you get the issues with the boat resolved and get back on the water.

[@silverseeker_1]

Wow!! Stressful situation. Glad you made it back safe

[@reginald1106]

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

[@WARBAITS]

It’s really fun to fish!

[@Brandonreisinger]

Glad you made it back brother! 🙏🏻

[@MFOutdoors]

Fishing is always an adventure. Glad you made it back to the dock safe!!

[@aydanrivas2344]

Glad to see your back on land!

[@paddlesurfnet]

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.

[@WARBAITS]

Thank you!

[@ecesarchavez]

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. 😂

[@WARBAITS]

It was funny for sure. The shop worked out the issue.

[@socaloutdoors7355]

Any day good or bad on the water is better than NO day on the water. Smoothly edited vid, easy watch.

[@DaveysWorldFishing]

Rough day. Glad you are safe.

[@pieworld7750]

love the vids keep them coming

[@WARBAITS]

Thank you!

[@gregduenas1]

What a day, huh. Either laugh or cry. Good on you for keeping your cool.

[@justinperez8996]

Dang, cool vid man stay safe going for some spottys on Friday off my tube

[@D_Nashhhtyyy]

That moment he throws the anchor out I just lost it 🤣 bruh it was not your day

[@M24kBape]

Awesome shots of the kelp beds!

[@KietNguyen-om5wc]

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.

[@WARBAITS]

I laughed after watching it too

[@Oh_You_Know_]

Bro, I couldn't help but laugh.... You can't make this stuff up lol glad you got back to shore safely!

[@619SixFour]

2020 in a nutshell. Bro when you threw the anchor over the side I was mid bowl hit. Started bustin up!

[@paulthefishgodz5303]

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!!!

[@PiperFishing]

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.

[@WARBAITS]

Going into the shop this month

[@moonchung101]

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

[@randycantu1]

@@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!

[@Turtlemilk]

HOW Much is that engine he has typically?

[@anthonylee1825]

I feel you man. I’m glad you got back safe. That happened to my buddy and I once on his boat in mission bay right at sundown and it was not fun.

[@whirewalltires]

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

[@GrimReaper68440]

BOAT=BREAK OUT ANOTHER THOUSAND!!! the true story of a boat owner. But you are safe and that's what matters. Take care. We down in Cali.

Wow! The struggle IS real🤙

[@dariosimas5268]

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!

[@IBleedBolts]

Whew. Glad it turned out ok. We have the same hat. Fancy that.

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

So much kelp, it aint like that over here in os. Looks cool and hope everything is fixed!

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!

[@WARBAITS]

I’ll have an update for sure

[@melvinenglander6582]

This happened to me in the big bay. I was drifting toward the rocks quick. I got it started as I was calling for tow and limped back to shelter Island. It turned out to be a fuel line. Easy fix, but that drifting into rocks feeling isn't good!🤙

[@Waylowsurf]

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.

[@WARBAITS]

Haha! I agree! Thanks!

[@ikadane]

We had the same thing happen to us. Dead, drifting right through the thick of that kelp. But, some of the best calico fishing I’ve ever had in that thick stuff. Then my buddy coughed up a fortune to get towed back. Still, great content, glad you made it back in one piece.

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!

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

🔥

[@williamsantos2234]

Dude your face when that anchor broke off was priceless but overall seeing you safe and back on shore is what counts. That high shot from the drone was sick. That calico was nice and you casting that iron looks so easy. I definitely need to practice my cast. Got any tips? Another dope warbait video 🤙🏽 #warbaitnation

[@WARBAITS]

Practice. Let’s some line out of the Rod, and swing it like a pendulum

[@williamsantos2234]

@@WARBAITS thanks for the tip dude🤙🏽

[@63MercComet]

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.

[@WARBAITS]

I’m thinking fuel or fuel filter. Boat goes in soon. How did you drain the tank?

[@63MercComet]

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.

[@mr.k9935]

I've seen this several times and it's almost always been a bad perko switch.

[@DogDudeDrone]

Bummer on the battery but those drone shots were sick! Bet theres thousands of calicos under those weeds.

[@notsmirkis]

rough day!

[@bmoorear]

Glad you got in with only a little bit of trouble, I wouldn't wish boat problems while on the water on anyone.

[@totalaircontrol5886]

i rock AGM batteries ...they are solid

[@WARBAITS]

👍🏻

[@matthewarcos221]

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.

[@WARBAITS]

haha

[@tagamial]

I have boat u.s. , but I bought an audew lithium ion charger just in case . Hate to get stuck out there.

Hey Afrin, I have a Yamaha 115 a few years older than your model. I know a reliable Yamaha mechanic who is really cheap and does great work. He knows those old yams like the back of his hand and is in Chula Vista. If I can help, just let me know. Good luck, Jeff

yowhats the latest? been there before with the kelp off pont loma and overheating etc.

[@killakali9845]

Tune up and new batteries

[@connorhofmann853]

Sick vid brotha. What boat do you have? Thing rips

[@moonchung101]

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]

Can go wrong with the Hobie! Thanks!

[@moonchung101]

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

[@claytonlupien8555]

Dude the same exact thing happened to me with my 2 stroke 115 Johnson. It died out at sea and after waiting and fishing for 3 hours it started up again. We punched it back and it died again right before the dock. I ended up swimming it the last 500 yards or so with my two friends on the boat laughing the whole time. I pretty sure we had to replace the carburetor

[@nathansilva856]

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

[@michaelckent]

Fuel supply issue. Either hoses or fuel filter. Usually a fuel filter issue if u can get it started but it feels “limp”. Good luck hope It’s a quick fix.

[@TFCthefishingcrew]

Went through that same scenario. Had water in the fuel.

[@trinitymaker5833]

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.

[@WARBAITS]

I'm thinking fuel line also. Boat goes in soon

[@mainegreengrower4209]

Omg bro..lmao what luck..just remember theres others out there with that same luck..cheers bro..go to church

[@Marcos_reyna]

Get you a portable jump starter. I had the same problem as you bro.

[@WARBAITS]

Great idea

[@guillermo13yeo35]

That’s why you bring paddles

[@WARBAITS]

Correct!

[@ericsphoto]

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.

[@otroflores91]

Ouch how much did boat usa charge just for showing up? Glad you made it back in. We got dead on the water in mission bay last week on my 15 footer. Jet skis buzzing around us like flies.

[@stephhenwayne7045]

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.

[@fishingbanditsilva8257]

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.

[@WARBAITS]

Losing is learning
