Not sure I'd jump on a charter boat with 50 others.Sounds like hell.I'd be looking for more of a private charter or just keep it hung up until spring when our striped friends come back.ishtty trip but at least you got some filets.
did the 18 hour trip on the big Jamaica in NJ... very rough seas
i knew i was going to be long trip when a few guys broke out johnny walker black, hard boiled eggs and cigarettes... we just walked on the boat 11pm at night.
sounds like a good trip to me. you caught fish, most of the fares weren't fishing so the rails souldn't have been crowded. you had a nice boat ride. nothing worse than flat boring seas. i guess my father should of been charged with child abuse, he started taking me out on party boats when i was 6 years old. mostly during the winter since we had our own boat which we used up until the end of november.i don't think there are too many captains that will put there boat in harmsway just to make a few bucks. these guys know what there boats are capable of. as a fare on a boat you should know what conditions you are capable of fishing in.
