The slow death of Party Boats
Do you guys think its a function of restrictive government policies or is it the "Captain In a Box" crowd offering charters for a bit more money than a party boat? Is it something else? Anything that can be done to reverse it? A healthy party boat population is essential to bring in new fishermen from all walks of life. I would guess the vast majority of you first caught a saltwater fish on a party boat.
My first fish was on the Barvic. |

Re: The slow death of Party Boats
Without doubt , Belboy, Perth Amboy , cut my teeth on salt species ! PB's will survive if the fisheries do , when there's a lack of fish then no one will survive !
Look at GOM Cod season 1 month 1 fish ! That's tough & to survive u have to adapt or give it up ! Plenty of other fish up there but cod was money fish ! Maybe they can make doggies a sport fish , they did a great job regulating those! |

Re: The slow death of Party Boats
The rise of open boat charters has to be taking its toll. I personally would be on head boats a lot more if I couldn't cruise the internet open boat forums and catch a ride on a charter at the last minute.

Bingle banana. Bengal was the striped version.
Fluke on the Rainbow, 1960. Not sure if Abrasion wanted to trip down memory lane with this thread. |
