What was the funniest thing you have seen on a party boat?

Customer, "...how far down does the anchor go?...."

Deckhand, "...all the way to the bottom..."

A guy is throwing a cast net for snappers in AH harbor before getting on a fluke boat. Gives it a good toss and it gets caught on his dentures removing the entire set and putting them in the water. Just about 3 weeks ago an editor from the Fisherman magazine gets on a party boat in AH and says; " Is it all right if I get in the pool? I'm pretty good." Gets two 18 inchers and goes home thinking he's great.

She made it clear that she was a exotic dancer and had just met the guy she was with a few hours ago. She worked the boat throughout the day, pole dancing in the cabin, stripping in the stern, stripping in the bow, and she was tipped well.
It was a real stripper trip and I caught some stripers too.

I remember that trip to the T that was the best day of working deck i have ever had only thing is on the way in nobody felt kind enough to let the capt. And crew know about the show she was putting on in the bow! They did however feel obligated to inform us after the fact and make us say wtf y didnt u tell us! Lol that was a great day tho.and that day is when then phrase stripers and strippers was coined now if only there was a boat that actually did those kinda trips i cud see them railed everyday.

Few years ago night bluefish trip out of Belmar, get to the boat and 1 dude had way to much to drink.... as were heading out guy sticks his finger in his A*s and starts walking the boat asking ppl to smell his finger.... 2 hours later and still drinking guy does some chumming of his own and then catches the pool fish.

I used to work the night blues/striper trips on the Night Hawk out of belmar. A russian guy who was a total sleezeball came on the boat wearing flipflops. He kicked a blue fish and it bit off the tip of his big toe. It was disqusting and hilarious.

The funniest thing I ever saw on a PB has to probably be when I was out bluefishing from PP and this drunk young fireman was selling his fresh made bucktails... They were actual buck tails from when he was hunting deer with a hook tied to them.

The funniest thing that I ever did on a party boat was when I was fluke fishing out of Perth Amboy and the water was covered with jellyfish, so everything that comes out of the water is covered in slime. My hands are covered in jellyfish goo and I get a bite, I set the hook and the rod slips out of my hands and into the water. It was a St. Croix light rod with a Daiwa Luna reel and it was floating on the top of the water, needless to say I was pissed I just did that. Luckily the captain was fishing right next to me and calmly lets out some extra line, wraps the excess line around my rod and somehow pulls it up. I thank him up and down, then realize the fish is still on my line, the whole boat watches to see what kind of monster could rip the rod right out of my hands.... Then the worlds smallest sea robin comes over the rail. The entire boat was rolling around on the deck laughing at me.

Probably a chinese fellow on a ns party boat out of PP for an all day bottom trip talking about these new killer rods he makes and shelled out $400 a piece for them and brought 2 on board and wants everyone to try them. First drop on a wreck, guy thinks he gets hooked up, swings for the stars and SNAP, hooked the wreck instead...ok one pole down...couple hours go by while using his second rod, swings for the stars again...SNAP.He ended up winning the pool on a rental rod.

Back in the late sixties I used to PB fish for tuna every fall. Those days the MH, 17 etc supported a solid tuna run. Many times you could hook up to a schoolie to a Gt on the same trip. Tuna were mixed size so you fish a 6/0 or bigger outfit .
One Oct. Day on the Highlander I struck up a conversation with a retired naval admiral. He deported a 12/0 Penn & 130# class rod. Thought how is he ever gonna fish stand up with this chair outfit.
Well on the way out he decided to re spool his mono by letting it out behind the boat.
To my surprise & everyone elses I think , the tension on the dragged Mono crushed that 12/0 spool like is was run over by an 18 wheeler !
A real eye opener for us all that day, funny but taught me a lesson , backed di
Spliced all my reels with Dacron after this deal!

Didn’t read this thread but I have a few yuc yucs . Every year you see someone do something goofy. .For the life of me I still don’t get why people would bring a disposable cooler on a party boat . (Or even buy one for that matter). I have seen folks try to put fish in them only to explode apart on the first fish.

Better yet I saw some guy try to sit on one in the cabin on the ride back in. Not to mention how many times I saw one get steeped on and rip apart as the boat rocks.......lol.. Gota love it...Now Every time I see one of those coolers I cant help not to laugh cuz I can see it coming already.



Ohh Not sure if this was mentioned but then you have these guys come aboard with 20 foot surf rods. When you see this u already know there will be trouble.


Funny but not funny. On a beautiful calm day ..no more than 15 seconds out of the inlet you have folks ralphing over the rail.
