Fishermen/Tuesdays fishing report...

[njfisherman1975]

Was this guy fishing with a spin cast reel and holding it upside down??? It's unreal that u have to have those type of discussions or arguments...especially around a kid. Winning the pool (legally) is always fun...but fishing...catching fish...and doing it with ur kids is PRICELESS!!!!

In my experience the boat will usually announce at the start of the trip what species count toward the pool.

This is a true statement...most party boats will set the rules in the beginning of the trip on the loud speaker. Not everyone knows if it says "Fluke" it means it a Fluke only pool! If this was this guys very first time out ever I can see way he might get pissed. If it's wasn't his first trip he is a sore loser and should know better!

You would think the target species is the only species eligible for the pool, but I've fished on a NY porgy boat where a cocktail blue took the pool. That makes no sense to me whatsoever, but I guess when in Rome...

It's a grey area on alot of PB's. Sign may say bluefish but stripers, albies, bonita or even a small BFT can win. I even saw a snagged drum win once, that was weird. Or a mate hooking a fish and passing the rod to a customer that won with it. But that's a whole other can of worms. Agree with the guy who said it should be announced or maybe printed on the fare ticket as I've seen before.

Damn yuppies

Every party boat I've ever been on announced the species that count in the pool. And if not, I could see a possible problem.
