When You Are Stuck on the Water

I have been there more than once, and it is not a good feeling; I have had to paddle back to the dock, get towed back to the dock, or just drive back to the dock - in one instance, at an excruciatingly slow speed. The motor ran great, but all it takes on a jet drive outboard is for one small screw to go missing, and 3 mph is about as fast as you are going to go.

In fact, breaking down once to often is one of the main things that caused me to bite the bullet on buying a new boat. Every boat can suffer a breakdown, though - or lose a propeller. In such instances it is sometimes hard to tell who to call, or if there is anyone to call. The good thing is, if your stuck on Lake Norman, North Carolina or Mountain Island Lake, North Carolina you can now call us here at LakeHawk Fishing!

We offer the following services at reasonable rates:


  • Lake Norman Boat Rescue
  • Mountain Island Lake Boat Rescue
  • Emergency Lake Services (NOT medical care)
  • Boat search and retrieval from Storm Loss
  • On Water Gasoline/Fuel Delivery
  • On Water Boat Towing from Landing to Dock

If you are stranded and need help, call LakeHawk Fishing 24 hours a day at 704-748-6980. 

If we are not available leave a message and we will call back as quickly as possible. If we are not available, another great company is TowBoat U.S. at 704-200-1930. They also offer 24 hour service and they have a great AAA style subscription plan (which we do not).

Being stranded can be more than a bother - it can also be life threatening. I have had over 25 years experience on the water and our rates are extremely competitive! If you are stuck on Lake Norman or Mountain Island Lake and need help, call 704-748-6980 24 hours a day!
