Pete, he has a history of doing that, driving small boats off spots. Same thing with the Riptide. And my boat isn’t that small. Can’t tell you how many times in the Marshall Fields area he has done that to me and others over the years. Once I was anchored off Lloyd Point and he came right at me and leaned on his horn. I got on the radio and told him I wasn’t lifting anchor knowing the CG was monitoring the channel. He backed down but still got right on my stern and ruined the bite. At least the JJ out of Huntington respects other boats; that City Island fleet acts like they own the Sound IMO.

They act like they own the Sound yet theyr practically in the East River, cracks me up. Interesting to hear you had similar experiences with them. Its a lack of respect, I agree, the boats that are closer to these spots like the huntington boat you mention at least respect others. Gotta try the radio thing next time...

So this dude is known to harass other boaters and no one has informed the police, coat guard, sheriff, whomever? He is doing it deliberately. Looks like he has more fun harassing others than doing anything else. His license needs to be revoked especially if he has a charter which he should.

We were blackfishing on my buddies boat and catching fish and the Riptide comes over and drops his anchor literally 3 feet off our bow! I'm not exaggerating either. I could see him in the wheelhouse and I'm staring right at him in total disbelief! He wouldn't even look at us. What a loser... if you can't catch fish just find something else to do.

Hey Steve thanks for stopping by, always great to hear from you. And yeah that whole ordeal was crazy, If I didn’t get it on video no one would have believed me 😆

What a ratchet party boat.

I think he was probably just running to his numbers but they should not have dropped anchor so close to you. Should have given you a little more respect than that. It is funny here in NJ, at the end of the summer, you are in a spot by yourself, get a good bend from a sea robin or a small fluke, and then bam! 5 minutes later a small fleet is with you, including a party boat or two.

Definitely possible, the porgy numbers that most of these boats go to are still a bit past this spot though but your right he could have just been headed to this exact area. Haha at least I'm not the only one then, good to know it happens in Jersey too, seriously I think sometimes they have binoculars on you 😆

@@PeterRanieriII I am quite sure they do, especially when the catching on the boat is slow. Their job is to tighten the lines, they will go to where fish are caught if they aren't at their usual spots. It doesn't matter if it is fluke or stripers, mugging will happen if you are catching and they aren't. But with the fog that day I don't think they were watching you, might have seen you on the radar though and decided to investigate. I don't know if kayaks show up on radar but I am sure with a few poles (guides) and maybe the flag and camera they will get some sort of return. Those lobster pots show up easy enough with the small spinners and stuff

@@participationtrophyfishing For sure not on this day with the binos. I'm glad you mention the radar, I was curious if a kayak would show on it. If the lobster pots do then probably the kayak would as well. If that's likely what happened then he prob saw me on the radar and just wanted to investigate, hey I get it they have to pay customers and need bent rods, just wish they shared the water more respectfully but oh well that's why its good to get out there before they do!

The boat was being an ass and sadly the world is full of them... Looks like you had fun anyway...

My thoughts exactly… lol thanks Reggie 🤙

I'll play devils advocate in this instance. *This isn't intended to be a nasty post at all. I'm strictly speaking about the instance in the video:* 1. I get you have every single right to go fish whenever you want. A kayak in the fog isn't the greatest idea at all, you're counting on other peoples radar to save you essentially. 2. You are recreational fishing, they are a business. They are trying to make a living and want to put people on fish. Maybe he was there the day before and read em good, that would be the first spot I'd go to as well. 3. I've seen plenty of times when fishing structure that 15-20-30 feet can make a difference. Just because you're not reading fish where you are, doesn't mean he isn't. 4. Just like it isn't "his" spot, it's not "yours" either. Do I fully agree with the party boat? No, not at all. But there's still that side to consider. Happy that you were safe.

Hey Jason, You make very good points and in general I think you're correct. Just want to give you more info on point #3: I was working this area pretty good, like a dozen short drifts, before he showed up and there wasn't a school of porgies there, even after he anchored and I watched them, no one on the boat caught a fish from the port or stern side for the short time I stayed. But your other points are spot on, and I'm just happy I didn't get hit. Thanks for providing this perspective, and not being afraid to say it!

Not a great strategy when you have about 50 people relying on you to find them fish…

The boat coming up to you at speed was not their fault. From what I could see you have no lights on you kayak, which I believe for the conditions are required. Where was your air horn or whistle or other noise making device. What about a handheld VHF to hail that ship. You should keep that in your life vest because if you go over it should be easily at hand and not somewhere in the kayak where you have to go looking for it in an emergency. So in that respect that boat may have never even seen you. That aside the capt was an asshat for setting on top of you and who wants to listen to someone else's blasting music like that? Shame on the capt for having poor judgment and taste and for allowing it all to happen.

What is that noise? If I paid to be on that boat, and they played that noise, I'd demand a refund. I had a boat on City Island for almost 50 years, and I got rid of it for two reasons, traffic, and the low rent people who listen to that music taking stuff off my boat constantly.
