Jackpopt Controversy

Just read a post about the jackpot on our last trip on the Westerly. The complaint was that 20% of the jackpot money was kept by the crew and that the jackpot winner was not informed prior to getting into the pot. First: Now whether this happened or not I don't know but fishing with Jon and his crew for many years and on many boats I have always been told about the 20% for the crew. Second: I'm disappointed that this complaint wasn't brought to us first at a time when we could address the issue. Dan always says and I quote "Tell me any problems you have with the boat, crew, bunks or whatever while on the trip because when the trip is over there is little I can do." Now back to the jackpot issue. All boats have different policy's on the jackpot not only on the money but on the type of fish and the handling of said fish so look for posted rules and ask the deckhands about their rules on the jackpot. Finally tip the crew, if the service is good tip well if bad tip little this is how you show your opinion of their service.

Report of our Emeryville Trip

Sat. we fished the New Salmon Queen with Captain Shim. The weather was cold and windy but in the bay it was still fish able. Drifting many spots we caught nice halibuts and a few stripers. On Sun. we fished on the New Huck Finn with Captain Jay. We were scheduled to fish the rockfish offshore but with the wind and rough seas we decided to stay in the bay once again and again we had good fishing for the halibuts and stripe bass. We had a great time and enjoyed the bay fishing.

Ranger 85 Trip Canceled

Due to gail force winds and seas to 13ft. it was decided to cancel the trip. Better to fish in good weather with good fishing to make a good show. The trip will be reschedueled for sometime in Nov.
