Buckytails Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 Didn't go on a head/party boat this a.m. in OC. Can't blame the boat owner for making $$ but this was bad. Zero consideration for his customers. Arrived an hour early and it looked like this. A disaster of mangled lines and short tempers waiting to happen, no thanks.

MattieG Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 Which boat was it? I'm a kind person, I'm kind to everyone, but if you are unkind to me, then kindness is not what you'll remember me for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostinthewash Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 I quit the party boat thing decades ago too much bs to contend with. I enjoy the peace and quiet of the sand minus the spring and fall run of course but still not as bad as pb's Danny1199 and Buckytails 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was his idea, I was along for the ride, not my usual fishing method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gellfex Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 (edited) Even on 6-pack drift boats the feeling of accomplishing something is often lacking. Halibut fishing in Alaska was pretty pathetic, getting to act as a human winch between the mates hooking it and gaffing it. For me, deciding when, where, and how to fish is a huge part of the challenge and reward. Got nothing but short fluke kayaking yesterday, but it was all me.

JerseyJeb Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 The culture and experience really varies by boat. Lots of boats have switched to lower headcounts and higher ticket prices which seems to make everyone involved happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RP McMurphy Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 This is a joke, no? I don't see a fishing rod. The passengers don't look like they're gearing up to fish. Surfjunki 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 Partyboat fishing is a challenge simply because of lack of agency. You can only fish where you are taken to, not where you want to. Or even how you want to. And you are completing for the same fish with the many people next to you. Is competition like league baseball vs teeball.
