Crazy Night!

[ChumDumpster]

Left my marina in Raritan bay by 5pm tonight to go anchor up right outside the reach channel with some bunker. No action at all. A small bunker pod in the distance but that was it. Sun went down. And around 730 I see a boat fully engulfed in flames out in the water. I pulled up my anchor and hustled over there to see if anyone needed help and had to come aboard my boat. By the time I got there police and coast guard were every where along with some helicopters. I still have no clue what happened but I hope everyone is alright!

Great job trying to assist. A true gentleman and fisherman. Thanks for remembering to look out for everyone in our fisherman community. You have good karma

Thanks Joey. I hope my karma comes in the form of a 50lb striper haha

I hope and pray the people on the boat are safe and sound.

Are we 100% positive it wasn't Shrimpy literally "Spot Burning"?

A sinking boat and a burning boat as the season draws to an end, have winter storage costs gone up that much?

Wow that really does sound like a crazy night. Good thing no one was seriously injured.

A viking funeral procession? Or insurance lightning. Figured you would have head a mayday call. Maybe a mob hit? Maybe. Maybe . Maybe.
