Over the last week, I have taken Anthony on 3 party boat trips for bass and to be honest 2 of the 3 were nightmare trips and serve as a reminder as to why I charter as much. Some examples

1. Why do party boat captains and or mates actually fish during the trip??? especially when there are paying customers trying to get tight and cant. I had a captain hook up with Anthony standing right next to him and didnt pass him the rod (not that he needs it). He just patted himself on the back for catching the only striper of the night

2. Part boats should always have sufficient hooks and leader material at all times, this was evident on the same trip where they ran out of both as customer were complaining luckily I always tie my own rigs in advance

3. Today I took him on a 3/4 day. Let me run down the list. Guys fighting someone almost ran him over we almost came to blows. Just rediculous and disgusting.

Noone could buy a bite until the afternoon when several 40+" fish were landed. Anthony and I managed several large bluefish but no Bass today
