    Tuchodi Fishing trip Jetboat Rescue

    A group of us went up to the Tuchodi Lakes to do a little camping and fishing on July long weekend. One of the boats never made it all the way to the lake on the first day, so a few of us went out on a rescue mission the next morning. There has been alot of rain up in this part of the country lately, and the river was very high ( have never seen the Tuchodi this high before). Hopefully, I will be able to post up some pics later, but untill then here is a clip of the rescue mission.
    If you guys like this clip, I have a couple others that I can post up as well.
    Enjoy.
    This is the Jetboat Rescue Clip

    Ahhh, what the heck; here's another good one,
    This is the run down the Tuchodi, on the way home. I have never run the Tuchodi this fast ever before, what a rush.

    from the landing at the creek about how long does it take if you are not performing and off the throttle? you know going as slow as you can without coming off step.

    lol, His bite is not that deadly, but his BARK is huge..... Actually that was not my camp, and I was afraid to bring my dog over there, I thought mine might choke on that thing

    Those are some awesome videos. What kind of boats are you guys running? Any twins? Engine and Pumps?
    The one that was grounded is a twin with 350's and Hamilton Pumps
    The one that pulled him off was also a twin with 6.0 liters and Hamilton T-2 Pumps
    The bright red one at the end is a twin with 6 cylinders and Berkly Pumps
    Mine has a 175hp Sportjet (the white one)
    Brad's, at the end of the lineup, at the end of the second vid has a 200hp Sportjet.
    All the rest are single 350's
    There were several Custom Built boats in the mix, a Wolfmade, a couple ELDE's, a Marathon, and a couple that I'm not sure of.

    From the Launch to the mouth of the Tuchodi is roughly 2 hrs, and from the mouth to the lakes is about another 2 hrs running at an average speed of about 35kms/hr. Going as slow as I can, but staying on step on the Tuchodi would be realy slow. The water is so fast in some places that I can be on step and not moving while pointed upstream.

    Not legaly, but I found this nice little rock the last time I was up there, if you buy it from me for say.......$1,500 bucks, I might just take you out for a boat ride.

    Glad you guys liked the vids, I had a blast making them.
