Funny Fishing Stories

[cool hand fluke]

When I first moved to the Jersey shore, about 20 years ago, I reacclimated myself ocean fishing patronizing a large party boat that mostly catered to tourist crowds in the summer on half day trips. I became friendly with a couple of the mates. After a few weeks I found out on Saturdays and Sundays the mates usually had a pool between themselves on who the first person on the boat would be to get seasick. One mate I got to know pretty well told me his strategy was always bet on the person with the newest pair of sneakers and/or nicest clothes.
