Re: Porgy Thief on the High Seas 12--> 6 --> 2
When you go on a Party boat, start grumbling to yourself and utter obscenities to yourself and the guys you are fishing with. Tell everyone around you to keep their hand off your stuff and to not touch your cooler, rag, knife , ect.
Keep an eye on your equipment and cooler. Write your name on the cooler lid in large letters. This may help. LOL. Seriously, I've had sinkers stolen right off my rig. Leif

Re: Porgy Thief on the High Seas 12--> 6 --> 2
Thanks for the anecdotes and kind words guys.
I will be more diligent next time. I usually fish on charters with the Fisharks group or on 6 packs, a lot on the Russian Roulette, so I have let my guard down a bit. I told the Capt and he was sympathetic and mentioned some guys were locking their coolers, but if I have to resort to that I may just switch to Tilapia from Shoprite or become a vegan.

Re: Porgy Thief on the High Seas 12--> 6 --> 2
In 2013 I was on a sponsor boat out of Belmar, midway through the trip(it was a very nice day) a couple of Asian guys went up to my gulp jug and gladly took a few pieces of grubs...... I'm not a confrontational sort of guy but I went right up to them and sternly told them that was mine and to put it back immediatley. If they didn't I would've taken it up to the Capt/mates and put matters in my hands if nothing was done. They said "we thought it was the boats" and gave it back to me which was total BS for a few reasons. People will try and get away with anything if they can, doesn't matter where you are people people will always be people.
Also, I have no problem with giving away a few pieces if somebody is a decent guy.... But to just outright take it is pathetic.

Re: Porgy Thief on the High Seas 12--> 6 --> 2
I did a offshore seabass trip on a non sponsor out of point pleasant last week and they would only allow 4 coolers in the stern where I was fishing. There where at least 10 guys fishing the stern so the rest of us had to leave our coolers 60 feet up the side of the boat where we couldn't see them. I thought for sure fish were going to disappear out of my cooler but thank god they didn't.
