Ran out of remleys about 6 o clock got 30 miles out and lost fuel pressure so decided sea tow wouldn’t get us home any faster than we could go without motor cutting off. So trolled around found some live bottom and some nice fish lost a bunch of kings since we only had dolphin rigs but all in all a day for fish but a long ride home

That’s the way to hang in there!
How long was the ride back in? Way to stay positive about that situation though

We trolled back to Charleston 60 trolled around then made the hike back. After Chas 60 it was about a 4hr SLOWWWW troll with wind and waves picking up

I was in a similar situation this past Saturday except I was in 600ft took us 7.5 hours to get back.
What caused the loss of fuel pressure?
I had a nursery growing in my gas tank. I had a small handful of leaves in the bottom of tank and at higher rpms it would cause enough suction to pick them up and partially block my pickup hole.
