useless charter skipper

[shaunv19c]

i was fishing at the barwon banks last weekend and was at anchor. when a 65 foot charterboat motors right past me turns around then starts a drift just up current from me. within minutes he was about 20 metres away from me. so i did what anyone would do and told him where to go. few minutes later he's still getting closer so i really told him to f#@k off. next minute he's mouthing off back at me telling me to have fun catching my bream i did manage to pull up a 5 kilo spangly while he was next to me though he then motored off and did it to about another 2 boats. best bit was i didn't see anyone on his boat pulling up fish.

what would a first timer out to the banks on a big boat is thinking when the skipper is fishing on top of other boats and mouthing off at them.

LOL There are a few charter wankers like that out there who own the ocean. Couple of pro's carry on like that too.

That's no good mate - Never nice when people aren't aware of others.

yeh, does sound familiar doesn't it

[tugger]

yeah i rings bells for me with one particular operator on the gold coast that has done that to me on 2 occasions getting that close he ran over my lines and busted me off both times

i'm just curious.....in situations like these is it poor form to load up a 65gm slug and do your best to give his gelcoat a work over??

what a tosser.....good job on the spangly while you had the audience!!

You would imagine that many on the charter thought the skipper was a goose also. Typical cowbay operator, taking lots but giving bugger all back to what we enjoy.

Be ideal if you could show his insurance company how he looks after his boat and others..........

explains the who care's about the reco's attitude.

Not sure if this is possible but since my run in with the law I have been reading the rule book in detail and I would class this as an "Marine Incident", if enough people complain who knows what might happen?

[shaunv19c]

interesting. where do i find this rule book?
