Uh Oh - Here Comes the Coast Guard!

- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- So after a very successful day of fishing, we picked up anchor, errrr, trolling motor, to head home and were almost instantly intercepted by the Coast Guard.
Now, I know a lot of people hate this kind of stuff, but I got to tell you, I think the fact that you're always under threat of such a safety boarding, and possible ticket, helps ensure boaters have the appropriate safety equipment on board. Moreover, the whole thing took under 9 minutes! These men and women risk their lives daily to ensure boaters' safety so you can include me in the group that does NOT mind these types of checks.
Apologies for the weird angle on the boarding. In an effort to not "spot burn," the camera was in a mode known as "linear" and aimed down a bit to capture my fishing rod - not ideal for filming people however.

I’ve been boarded three times in the past three years and never had the slightest problem . They were always respectful and pleasant to deal with.
Always appreciate and respect what the Coast Guard does to help keep boaters safe.
Walter Watkins I knew you would! How’s the Cobia doing?
Jigging Jerks I love the Cobia! Terrific all around fishing / family fun boat!
USCG doing their job! They are out there to help save lives.
I chimed in last time you were boarded and am glad to see this time the comments aren't loaded with haters. I had good things to say about the CG then and even more to say this time. A few weeks back I was fishing just outside the Barnegat Light NJ CG station on my Hobie Outback. It was not the best of days weather wise, even the CG boats were hanging close to home while practicing their maneuvers. They took notice of me and kept a sharp eye out for me the whole time I was there. One of them even gave me a thumbs up when I boated a 17+ inch blackfish, not a bad fish for inside the bay. We should be glad to see these guy's.
Coasties are great, never anything but polite and helpful. My son in law was the CO on a 88' boat out of Newport, R.I.. Alot of boaters don't have their act together like you did John. Great video as usual but I would have loved to seen some fish caught.
Mike knotts creek thanks Mike - vid of this trip is coming out Thursday am. Skinner’s version will be out tomorrow but the two vids will be quite different
@@jiggingjerks Will be looking for Skinner's video. Stay warm next few days.
John, the CG is the best! In my younger days was in the CG Aux 43 in NJ for about 10 Years teaching BS&S. I live on the NJ coast and have been on the water since1948 in Babylon, LI. Growing up I worked in marinas. Sadly, there are too many irresponsible, inconsiderate boaters on the water. It's a rare day when I don't I come across someone with total disregard for their wake. And, I still know too many people with expired fire extinguishers, insufficient numbers pfd's in deplorable condition, and outdated Visual Distress Signals. I love boats and fishing but am the first admit that the activity doesn't always attract the best of humanity. I think we need more policing of the waterways with bona fide legal licensing not simply a boating safety before granting the privilege. Unfortunately a lot of public expense, deaths, injuries and property damage result from irresponsible reckless behavior on the water. The only reliable safety we have on the water is provided by the CG.
Robert Meli very well articulated and thank you for your service.
Hey John another great video, my son and I where boarded last week by the Coast Guard. We passed with flying colors. The Coast Guard crew was kind and courteous. It only took about 10-15 minutes tops and we are on our way. We're heading out in the next couple of hours hopefully we catch our limit in order to make a large batch of black fish chowder.
2manyhobbies Brett Aston nice note and catch them up today! Back to work for me after a week of charters :(
Thankful these guys are out there. You handled that well just like last time. Beautiful boat by the way. Maybe I'll hit the lotto one day and get me one too. Tight lines. 🐟👍
Cant wait for the next video...just fishing...👍😁
Only doing their jobs and usually polite while boarding! Philly getting a shoutout up there too!!
Tim Rudy 100% true!
Lmao, that guy behind the wheel needs a lot more training on how to board, I got boarded earlier this year, had no problem with them, they have a job to do and frankly I'm glad they are out there.
When they showed up, people headed for the hills, so we were an easy target.
Nice tog by the way, stay safe, hoping to get out soon.
Great video as usual....but....you need to organize your boat stuff! Of course they knew Skinner :)
Jody Gross yes, totally agree on the boat stuff. Need to be more ready
Dont mind the coastguard inspections always get boarded 1 or 2 a year by cc dec or southold pd never a issues always glad to see them cause in a problem there the ones to help the only issue I have is the timing always when in a rush for pinch for time at the end of day 👍
You need to organize your paperwork. Makes a CG boarding a lot easier.
Dave Sauerzopf yes yes - completely agree.
@@jiggingjerks All good. I am a huge fan of your channel and never miss a clip!
Dave Sauerzopf thank you - this was actually a very fun trip with some nice fish - I’ll have that clip up in a few daysp
Me and my buddy saw a school of perfect sized albacore jumping in the inlet back in September like something you would see on a show on the discovery channel. Just as me and my friend got rigged and ready to cast we hear coast guard coming to board. 10 mins later after everything checked out we turned around and there wasn’t a living thing to be seen. HAPPY DAYS!
Mike Smith ugh - that’s unfortunate timing for sure....0
Good thing your boat is very organized and everything is in its place.
Metal Shark boats are the best.
Richard Kohut you be quiet you!!! Oh wait, you helped me last night - I take it back Rick, I take it back!
I watch all the time and one of your most loyal subscribers and no disrespect but this is very disorganized. It should not take longer than a second to get your hands on the fire extinguisher among other things. My marine extinguisher is mounted with the strap and screw that it comes with. I can get to it in 01 seconds to be exact.
G M yes - you are correct - I rushed the boat in the water since I got it so late in the season - no excuses - will do a better job next season having things organized. Actually was thinking the same thing while this was happening and while I was editing this.
Your cool
You know if they weren't Skinner fan boys they would have run you in, right? And Skinner seems to have that Slimwave super glued to his hand, he must really like it. I'm going to give one a try.
Pat McDermott ha! Yes, he loves it. I still favor a couple of other rods personally but hard to argue with the rods pedigree since Skinner loves it so much
So you like the St. Croix better? How is it different to you?
Pat McDermott to me it’s more sensitive. I’ve been incorporating a Goo Fish rod too that I really like
Thanks, gives me something to think about!
Skinner in fact, did not edit this out
See what happens when I’m not there. Faisal
FreeZa Sama Hahahaha - this is true!
I wrote that number down in the mens bathroom 😉
Dan the Man Hahahaha - I figured its on my website anyway lol
Where as, yes I get it and shame on you if you are not properly prepared to be on the water ( cuz mother nature doesn't care about you). I've been on the same boat and stopped and checked every weekend for 5 weeks in a row. It can be really frustrating when you passed the first time but its a new week and new crew of CG'S and you gotta stop everything for them. Twice we were on a good bite. Then we lost it. I kinda don't really like the coast guard. My friends and I do everything to be sure we are legal and safe. Unfortunately we live in a very high recreational area in the summer and a lot of people abuse their privileges and I do understand their necessity but they have been more of a hindrance than godsend.... Honestly I hope I never need them😁
steven tomasi did you show them the yellow sheet of paper from last boarding? Usually, if you were boarded same year and have that paper, they leave you alone
I search them out early in the season. Get checked. Get my yellow copy. Laminate it and have ready for possible additional stops. I don't think you can be boarded twice in 12 months unless they see a reason to do so. Open containers. No visible life ring.
@@jiggingjerks I’ve found that getting a Coast guard Auxiliary guy to do an inspection when my marina has the Blessing of the Fleet at the beginning of the season and getting the current sticker affixed to the window keeps them off of me. Every year they issue a different color sticker and they can see it from a distance.I haven’t been boarded once in 12 years...
The guys who boarded you and have in the past have always been very respectful and easy going so it’s not the worst thing in the world as long as your doing the right thing- and you are so- you get bonus footage out of the deal😂
They can board my boat any and every time I'm out on the water because when the shit hits the fan, I pray that they get to me as quickly as possible.
@@BStavFishing yup- totally agree.when your in a bad situation these young guns turn into super heroes and will come save your ass even if it means putting their own ass on the line.
When they are out doing these safety checks it puts them that much closer to any potential calls they may get and that’s actually a good thing.I see them every week coming out of the Moriches station- like clock work
Untimely mistake to say 9 instead of 6..
Stephen Piccinich yes. We really did only keep six. They typically don’t check fish so I think it went right over his head
@@jiggingjerks lol, I know. Only kidding around
We had 9 in the box! 6 tog + 3 seabass.
John Skinner Fishing this is true - forgot about the sea bass!!!
What's better than a belly full of fish and some football on a Sunday?
