FISHERMEN/Clearing things up.....

[Skolmann]

Agree 100% with you.

As federally regulated captains....ANYONE who has to take the piss test can get screwed for that. EVERY licensed captain has the right to refuse anyone with that. Nobody should tolerate it one iota on the boats.

[Capt. Debbie]

This is kind of a old new subject.

But what do all the other Party and OUPV captains do? The law applies to every "for hire", not just Ron's.

Back in the day if the Coasties boarded you and found it on ANY BOAT- they could seize that boat.

Correct....working on my OUPV here myself, I don't know how to handle that. Ron isn't going to turn around halfway thru the day and kick that person off though he may want to throw him overboard with a life jacket and bottle of water at best.
Most customers pay after the chartered trip....correct?

Yes and that is why we have so many snowflakes and psychos. 20% of heavy users of skunk weed become psychotic. https://scienmag.com/new-evidence-su...ously-thought/

Amen! The pot smoking in this country is getting ridiculous.
"Tough times create tough men, tough men create good times, good times create soft men and soft men eventually create tough times."
I would argue as a nation we are between the soft men and tough times as history repeats itself. Today's young kids don't want to work, smoke too much pot and take no responsibility for their own actions. It's a generation of snowflake, cry babies that we are all going to feel the affects one day.

I’ll play Devils Advocate here…….

And for the the record I haven’t smoked in 30 years and have a Class A CDL and get piss tested every 6-8 weeks at my job…….

That being said, weed isn’t looked at as such a taboo thing it once was. Capt Ron I totally get it. Your ride your rules. I don’t allow it on my rec boat either.

I’d rather fish at the rail next to a stoner than the dude that had 3 six packs and a fifth of Jack any day.

Ok, go ahead and trash me now……

Quite simple: Capt boat / Capt rules like its always been.

Zero need to go deep into todays society and /or "snowflake" BS as the definition now crosses well into too many areas.

"Snowflake is a derogatory slang term for a person, implying that they have an inflated sense of uniqueness, an unwarranted sense of entitlement, or are overly emotional, easily offended, and unable to deal with opposing opinions."

Not naming but sure most can figure it out and its not a kid

Just for the record Duff...I don't allow that crap either, that's a whole new rant.

What people do before and after is their business. Maybe party boats should put up signs stating "No smoking on this boat". I think people think that it's legal now everywhere. While we are on the subject of smoking having someone upwind of you smoking a cigar or cigarette is not cool either to us none smokers! Just saying! Tight lines!
