Default "Professional" Charter Boat Captain...

Pulled right up and short drifted us (the only NS party boat in AH) yesterday morning. Drifted in very close two times, backed off 50-60 feet in the exact opposite direction of his drift so just minutes later he was right on top of us again. Best part is he did the same exact thing to us earlier in the year. This googan is a clown for short drifting a party boat in the first place but being a charter boat captain and doing this is absolutely unprofessional and just rude.
Take a good look at the pic. You could practically shake hands with his customers. (the cell phone picture doesn't do it justice. He was effing close) The first day he did it I let it go. The second time gets him this. One more time and I copy the link to this googans web page in this forum.

we had a different charter boat from NY do this crap to us sunday. I went right to his facebook page and let him know he has no class. give me a break, you want to drift the same area cause you're not catching crap, fine...but to cut the guys that are already there off over and over and get that close, these guys need to get some class.

See that all the time. The leech boat captain says someone is on HIS spot to his fares.

Reality is ... he has no spots. Just an idiot looking to glom off someone else's work.

And it will continue to happen.

Remember "professional" simply means he got paid by someone else . That's all...

Did you take it up with the captain of the boat? Are you the captain of this party boat?

Posting this here DOES NO GOOD FOR ANYONE - I'd really consider taking this down.

I am the mate. I called the Captain on his phone while he was short drifting us and asked him to stop doing it saying it was rude and that he was an a**hole for doing to us for a second time. A SECOND TIME. He's a repeat offender that's why I called him and that's why I posted this. It's not a one time deal. Like I said he already did it once and I shook my head in disgust but I let it go. I couldn't abide another classless move like that.
I think this does do some good. If people know there will be consequences for stupidity then maybe they will think twice about pulling a no class move like short drifting. Hopefully this guy gets wind of this post and realizes what he did was totally wrong.

ALL short drifters should be punished.

Confused?

In the pic I see a six pack not a head boat in the background?

Don't you hate that Sh** On Friday, I went to a spot that my friend gave me a heads up on, and we were the 3rd boat in the area. We started banging fluke, and trying not to show it, but had 2 double headers, and got seen netting those big boys/girls. Don't you know, when we set up for another drift on the same position, not one, but two (2) guys short drifted on us, but at least they were 50 yards away, so we had a shot. Sunday, we fished the Manasquan, and got the same thing 5 times by the same boat, but it was thick in that area, so I just moved.
Thank you, God, for making me old, and giving me the patience I didn't have as a young man. I would have lost more 2 Oz. sinkers
One day, a couple years ago, I was drifting over a sea bass honey hole/rock pile, and didn't anchor up as my back was hurting, and I was alone. along comes a charter out of Belmar, and short drifts me, and drops his anchor. I got next to him and asked why he watched me drift over that rock pile 5 times, and then came in and killed it for me. The Captain came out and said I should have dropped my anchor. ...........Hope you never get old, Dirt Bag.
Wonder if that guy ever came in to pull another boat to the side when he was in trouble, or gave a kayaker a line to get across the channel and out of harms way.

Be courteous, my brothers. because what goes around, comes around.......Papa Catch 'em up.

Thanks for clarification. NOW I get it! You should've posted this in the original!
