Porgy Thief on the High Seas 12--> 6 --> 2
So my buddy and I were on an offshore seabass trip last week. NS boat. Great Capts and Crew. The day started out with a lot of huge porgies. We must have caught over dozen, which we shuttled to our cooler at the front of the boat as our bleeding bucket got full.
When it came time to fillet the fish I pulled out and counted all of the seabass to get cleaned. I leave the porgies whole. To my surprise there were only 6 porgies in the cooler. I scratched my head and figured I counted wrong and went in to sleep after putting my fillets back in the cooler. Then when I got home there were only 2 porgies in the cooler. I know it's not a big deal but I hate thieves.

I would certainly bring that to the attention of Capt of the boat

Re: Porgy Thief on the High Seas 12--> 6 --> 2
There are way too many incidents of things like this happening these days. It's hard to believe some folks are that desperate and duplicitous. Personally if I ever found someone stealing my fish on a trip, it would be the last time they tried after the consequences. Next time unfortunately somehow mark your fish with a slit somewhere and if necessary I'd go cooler to cooler until I found my marks. Shame it has to get to that but this kind of story is becoming way to prevalent whether it be tackle or fish. Makes you wonder if it's worth Captain's efforts to place some hidden cameras on board and run a sting operation. Have them taken away in cuffs when the boat docks. If the word gets out, maybe some of these a-holes will think twice.
Sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience........really detracts from having an enjoyable day on the water.

Friend of mine had a bag of filets taken of the hood of his car. They confronted the suspected men to find the bag of filets in their cooler Fter they denied taking them. SMH. I will never understand some people.

Definitely tell the captain so he can be on the look out for return customers from your trip.
Kids will do stupid stuff like that. Adults ... it's just wrong. Quote:
