There is slight chance Jack.

But he is doing something else as of right now.

BBunker · 12-30-2003, 05:07 PM

I've known Capt. Don for about 20yrs. He is one of my best friends. Sometimes you just have to part ways so to speak. Times are changing & I know he is doing what is right for him, at this time.

Over the years I have worked deck for him quite a bit & have been through it all with him. He even gave me "THE SHIRT OFF HIS BACK ONCE"! I'm sure some of you know what I'm saying here.

I'm sure he will be fishing on My Corona next spring. That will be kind of different! I'll be putting him on the MEAT for a change. Lord knows, I owe him a few!

BIGGESTJACK · 12-30-2003, 05:17 PM

WHATEVER HE DOES I HOPE HE IS HAPPY.IT WILL NOT SEEM NORMAL IF HE IS NOT OUT THERE ON SOME BOAT.A GOOD FISHERMAN WHO PUT TONS OF EFFORT INTO IT.

SKIP--HUNCH WAS WRONG I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IT WAS WHEN I SEE YOU.

It's a shame. Gotta' be tough trying to make a living with a boat that big inshore. Fluke at 17 inches, the weakfish are basically on the down cycle, seabass closures, tough to fish small rips with that many people and other boats, tog closures, etc etc and on and on it goes. the way it looks it will be more of the same in the future. Any downturn in a fishery results in more restrictive regs and they never get those fish or customers back. It seems fishing will be comprised of smaller charter boats in the future who specialize more. God help the industry if they start to lose the bass, but that is predicted to happen just like in other fisheries.

ut oh I developed diarheaa of the mouth gotta go.

Leaving that boat will let Don keep his sanity,I have also known Don for a long time and I think he is the best Party Boat Capt. in S.Jersey,I wish him luck in anything he does and he is always welcome to fish with us.If it wasn`t for Don I know myself and Skippy wouldn`t know squat about fishing the Rips.We spent alot of time in the wheelhouse between drifts learning how to read the rip and set up drifts,he even taught me Roadrage on the water

Fish4Life · 12-30-2003, 06:37 PM

Good Luck to Don in his future endeavors! He will be missed by many.

question,

who is running the miss cape may now?

Phil,
You don't know how right on the money you are. You will be keeping your boat down south all year soon. Many boats will be headed to Del, NY, and Maryland sooner than you think. HAPPY DAYS.

Nobody is running it,Maybe Stain will upgrade his ticket and he could drive the Big Bus

THECHUMSTAIN · 12-30-2003, 07:26 PM

Oh boy those big boat guys ain't ready for me on the water in a big boat yet.

I'll still call him in the am on the way out the inlet to see where he is going.

Just don't follow the Big Red boat for a while. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

cee beaver · 12-30-2003, 07:52 PM

come on john

you'd love a bigger boat that way you can get your arse kicked when you take a boat load 25 miles off the beach then have customers say you didn't have to go that far, that it was a boat ride.........

come on now, "you could really peg the fun meter"
