Montauk Fluke (Flounder) Party Boat Limit and Unruly Passenger
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- Warning - some bad language in this one. This was a memorable trip in more than one way.
I wanted to show our viewers that there is more than one way to fish Montauk, even if you don't have a boat or access to a private boat. For about $100, you can jump on one of the many party boats that target fluke on the south side of Montauk. I picked the Queen of the fleet, the Miss Montauk II Captained by Capt. Jamie.
The fishing did not disappoint as I picked up my limit including two six + pound fluke. What I wasn't expecting was a fellow angler to lose it about 3/4 of the way into the trip.
Apologies in advance for the blurring of his face. I did not feel right identifying him as he clearly has issues he needs to deal with.
Kudos to Capt. Jamie and his Mates who handled the situation swiftly and with authority, sequestering the offending passenger in the Cabin for the rest of the trip and also following up afterwards to check on his mental health.
If you ever want to experience Montauk but don't have access to a private boat to do so, I highly recommend this boat.

Fished the Miss Montuak many times...great crew, handled the situation well.
Billy McD agreed!!!
Captain did a great job addressing and dealing with the issue quick.
Craig from CT - AGREED!
Sorry I was having a bad day, I lost 9 John skinner S&S bucktails.
Tony Hong Fishing ha!!!
Lmao 😂🤣😂
Lmao
There was that slight glimpse lol
Tony Hong Fishing damn that’s like 200 dollars worth of bucktails
I go on that boat almost every weekend. Absolutely amazing fishing, especially as of late. They always put you on the fish. I’ve never experienced a guy like that on the boat though, crazy.
NortheastAngler yup - Capt Jamie said he’s never seen anything like that.
Wow! Can't make this stuff up! I love how you didn't stop jigging that bucktail!
Robert gabrielle was just trying to act non chalant.....
@@26halkman 🤣
John: Scary and fun trip! I think your skipper handled the situation appropriately without anyone getting hurt. You are so lucky to have such a great fluke fishery available to you. I don't know what has happened to our Flounder in the lower Chesapeake and on the seaside of the Eastern Shore but there numbers are scarce compared to the past. Keep the videos coming.
Bigfish8 Askew thanks! We shall see how much longer this lasts. Sweeney and Rick went out today and were shut out. Now granted Skinner and I weren’t on but it did sound like the bite was completely dead today. Haven’t seen many favorable reports this week. Hope it’s just a fluky (pun intended) thing...
John Halkias Fishing thanks for this report, I saw low winds today but still 3ft seas. Hurricane Florence is ruining the rest of our fluke season lol. Was planning a trip to get out there Monday, seeing low winds on my app but still 3 footers. I can’t complain too much I guess because it’s been a pretty good fluke season
Digging the Zepplin background Muzak 👍🏻👍🏻
And you guys as always are TCB👍🏻
Thanks for sharing JJs👍🏻🎸🎣
Remember to check out the description for links to some of the equipment used. Again, apologies for some of the language and the not so professional blurring out in this video. Unfortunately, my editing software does not make this easy....
I was getting creep out just watching the part where the guy was next to you and you just know something was very wrong with him, but you kept your cool 🤙 and you were very aware of what’s going on around you. I thought the Capt and crew handled it just fine, I’m glad it didn’t escalate into something worst.
Vince Torr well said Vince!
Just a drunken pirate
Man I'm only 31 years old I'd been party boat fishing 20+ years and never delt with a situation like that. So glad the issue was resolved without anyone getting hurt. I love the party boat videos and hope this incident doesn't discourage further vids, but understand why people don't deal with party boats just for reasons like this. Most don't for even lesser reason but as much as I love party boat fishing the truth is private charters, fishing on a friend's boat , or have having your own are the most comfortable and enjoyable situations.
dseafishing x3 I really thought the Captain did a great job handling the situation. The truth is when you open your boat up to 50 plus strangers once in a blue moon you will get someone who proves to be a problem.
@@jiggingjerks I agree the captain did what a great capt is supposed to do and handled it will. Thank God it never escalated any further than that. I'd fished my favorite boat The Voyager with Captain Jeff Gutman for years most fishermen on the same page especially of booked overnight trips but open book can be a different ball game but most still chilled just mostly dealing with novice with the few regular vets. I guess the pool opportunities draw good fishermen to party boats the most especially the regulars but I can't blame them lol!!!
@Robert McCandless I'd never been night time bluefish and striper fishing but I can only imagine lol. I've caught plenty of bluefish not even seeking them that I'd never had a reason to go for them. Maybe if I go for stripers but definitely not just blues, I catch more than enough of them on offshore sea bass trips lol. Bluefish stay suspended above those offshore wrecks!!!
We set out on the Miss Montauk on Saturday. While I didn’t have a great day my son and friend both caught monsters. 8.5 lb and 9.8 lb. I totally agree with you that this crew is with out a doubt fantastic. They are there for you before you even know you need them. LOL. Great Boat and great Crew.
Vito Lasala great to hear!!! We were out Saturday as well and it was slooooow but we managed an 8.05. We saw the MM steam out towards Block early on; how was the action there? We went Sunday to Block and it was all sea bass there....
They said the action was slow for the boat. I had a fishing day from hell. Two guys with me caught 8.5 and 9.8. Had a great time.
Good job Captain Jamie!! The Miss Montauk also plays the best music on any party boat in the world.
Tan Bui love their music....was my first time on.
Halki I think Jaime was more pissed that the guy wasted a whole bottle of Heine
I remember that day, Capt Jamie and crew definitely handled that situation well. Great crew and great day of fishing. That cronos reel caught my eye on that trip, one of the mates and I were curious who’s setup that was too.
Evan Butt it would be my permanent fluke reel if it had a flipping switch. Such a smooth, powerful little reel.
Nice trip. I'm going to have to make a trip up there for some fluke. Thanks for the video
John- nice video. Sorry the day got weird. The weather looked so much prettier than the day on the Hampton Lady. And the fluke were biting! I'd give Montauk a shot next year. Already have Shinnecock in my plans. This would just be an extension on that trip.
Tight Lines,
PA Geoff
Saquon juke with that skate. Nice work John.
Marc Chan thank you Marc!
Great fishing. I need to get out on that boat. Thanks for sharing. Keep on jigging
Nice fluke and the crew handled the situation perfectly I'm sure he won't be allowed on that boat anytime soon 👍🐟🎣🎣
The captain is the man. That guy is mad because he didn’t catch anything all day.
To be honest..... with how close he was to your pole, I thought you were going to set the hook and smack him in the face based on the jigging motion. I guess you can say I was a little disappointed given my twisted sense of humor :-P
All kidding aside, glad that the captain handled it to get him away from the other people fishing
Michael Peterson hahaha - not sure a graphite pole would have much effect against a glass shank :)
Great 👍🏻 job catching those Fluke!!
that was me and my buddy in the boat with no t-top lolllll we heard all the yelling was wondering what was going on...we stuck a 9lb fish right after that....good bite that day thanks for sharing
Nice!!! Was definitely a good day
@@jiggingjerks dont get many days like that at montauk ....flat like a pond!
Wow very good control I grew up on ease party boats for over 25 years. A can get frustrating especially not catching fish. But captains really need to start watching who they let on their boat I have not been on a party boat in the last 2 years with out something stupid happening
Limit is great! Nice job!
Capt. handled that sitch wonderfully.
Also, I believe that’s Elton John signing piano man!?!?!
Great boat and great video as always. Thanks!
Stephen Piccinich thank you!!!
Damn, but the captain stepped in and handled that situation with huge balls.
Yes sir!
Great job by captain and mate . U did well ..
Great job keeping your composure, but that dude had a 10 inch filet knife on his belt. That scared me the most!
I have plans to be on the Miss Montauk on Saturday. Weather permitting.
Vito Lasala good luck - you will see a trail of boats following him. I have an unpublished video that I’ll eventually post where you see private boats following Capt Jamie like rats behind the pied piper :)
I just hope the weather holds up. Hotel room paid already, with no refunds. Lol
I'm surprised you Jerks don't have a big following when you go out !!
GEORGE K we are not as easy to spot!! We blend in a lot easier than an 85 foot blue party boat :)
"Tangle Joe" - Love it!
John Sweeney seems like an appropriate nickname for a “common denominator” friend of ours, no???
@@jiggingjerks Who, Tangle Doc? Hahaha
WOW 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Ya know, back in the day they used to make us walk the plank.
The best moment of the year was Skinner fishing the flats saying how safe he felt until that dolphin bum rushed him and he thought it was a shark would have loved to see a video of him getting out of the water while what he thought was a shark charging at 50 mph...
Another great video... and that guys was definitely crazy!
Was that Tony Hong ? 😂 Just kidding, I’d been pretty damn nervous.
Ryan Rohrbaugh no fish left in the fish box so couldn’t be Tony :)
Man I have to get up there and fish. Likely next year. Grew up in Meriick before I moved. My biggest fluke was 4 lbs. At least I remember it as 4 lbs. It was 23.5 inches. Left in 1986 and the size limit was 14 inches, lol. What has happened to the winter flounder???
Banned for life after that shit. Good fishing John,great video!
that was pretty scary to watch, Halk. Glad all were ok.
Georgeanne Panos you know, this type of concern is usually reserved for Sweeney. I feel honored!!! :)
Truth be told, Sweeney is usually picked on and I fight for the underdog (with all respect Sween...) but of course I'd be concerned for you, silly, Greeks stick together (ok, don't insert any tasteless jokes lol) I'm only half Greek, guess the other. HINT: I'm often referring to making sure someone cooks for you guys....)
Georgeanne Panos hahaha - I was busting chops!!!
You? Nahhhhh ;-) (it's all good, Halk)
& yet another reason some of us conceal carry. Ya never know when
Another great video! Thanks
I was on that boat when they caught a 13 pounder this season, would have been cool to meet up with you.
Long Island Fishing I saw that. That was only a week or so ago I think right?
Who sings this song?!? Lol. Great video man! I kayak fish out here in Montauk and i think everyone should come out at least once and experience Montauk fishing! Just subscribed 🤙🏼 Tight lines!
Yakinwithbigfoot thanks man and I subscribed back. That’s my brother in law and niece singing :)
Jigging Jerks thanks man! See ya out there sometime! Good luck this season!
I find it more shocking that that guy didn't know who sang Piano Man.
James Casatelli hahaha - me too!,,
Just drinking'..... Drinkin' Jerks, Drinkin' Jerks.... Just drinkin'. Thought I recognized that goofball with the bottle, Lol.
The guy still had a large fillet knife (white sheath) attached to his waist. In my opinion, he still posed a threat to passengers.
What was he doing at first John, staring back at you? You did such a good job blurring it out lol
Georgeanne Panos mostly staring ahead but I caught him staring at me too. Something just gave me the heebie jeebies (medical term)
I've heard of that 'medical term too'! You must be from Brooklyn lol
Great work by the skipper, I'm gonna try this charter. John were those 7/11 sandwiches in your cooler?
Junaid Ahmed yeah - left my house at 4:30 am so my food options were limited :)
:o)
He loves that crap. Left at 430. Doc and I are food conesaurs and the other two can live on that 7/11. Yuk.
LMAO Sweeney!! Sounds like someone needs a chef around lollol
A bunch of aristocrats I’m dealing with here lol. 7/11 only uses the finest of processed meats and and imitation cheeses.
at least we have the party boat on camera polluting the ocean tossing the beers in the ocean hahahaha.
60 can Dan so I disagree on this one. Sweeney is a diver too and notes bottles are like rocks down there - they don’t really pollute. Having said that, I wouldn’t throw overboard our empties but it’s not in my opinion the same as throwing plastic or other stuff in the drink.....
I love your show! I’m wondering what size rod that tsunami is?
Thank you Tommy and Merry Christmas! That’s the MH Slimwave. I believe it’s 6’4”. Super light and matched perfectly with that Jigging World Chronos reel.
Beautiful set up! Merry Christmas!
U bring 4 setups? Dang.
Awesome video too!
I’ve cut it down to one Jigging world Spinner and one Jigging World Conventional set up. This was amazingly three years ago :)
@@jiggingjerks I bet! Corona free! Lol
A real professional
That was a angry china man! Probably pissed bc they wouldnt let him keep under size fish
Saltlife_1985 Jesus Christ buddy racist much?
😂😂😂😂😂 im sorry i had to laugh 🤣🤣🤣
I went on the Miss Montauk yesterday Sept 29 with 1 keeper to show for it. All day fishing between the radar and the inlet all day. Would have been nice for the capt to switch it up and go deeper perhaps. A lot of people went home empty handed. 49 people on the boat.
James Ryan ugh, sorry to hear - we fished that same area today (literally) and had 9 keepers to 10 pounds for 3 guys.
Sorry that happened, you should try the Montauk Star
Richie Negron I’ve heard very good things about the Star but honestly, this wasn’t the Miss Montauk or her Captain’s fault. This just as easily could have happened on the star, the Viking, the Ebb Tide, etc
@@jiggingjerks true
Which was more uncomfortable.. standing next to the drunk or digesting the 7/11 sandwiches?
David Kuperschmid the drunk - 7/11 is high class cuisine to me!!!!
good video John. With such a nice boat why would would you want to fish on a party boat?
John glynn we love our Cobia but wanted to 1) try something different; and 2) show folks an option where they can fish Montauk even if they don’t own a boat or their boat is perhaps too far away to trailer but they can still make the drive
Good for the capt to stop that jerk ..ive experience the same a few times myself it ruins the the fun
I've worked as a mate and I've had a few of those guys . They come to drink not to fish..
John- is your pompano bay a custom build? If so, do you recall about how much it was to ship it to you? Or did you pick it up? I would never have turned my back on that dude once he broke the bottle and had a shank.
Nomad damoN custom. I think shipping was 20 or 25 - they are in NC and I’m NY so pick up was not an option.
I've contacted them several times about a custom build. One of the first things he informs me of is the shipping cost. It is approx $200 to ship to me (maybe more..). I'm in RI. I don't understand it. I'll try again with them. Maybe things have changed. Thanks for the response John!
Nomad damoN wow - let me see if I can dig up my email from the owner - had the rod built in 2017 so no promises...I’ll send him this link if I do
Cool. He'll probably remember me:) I appreciate it! Thanks
Uncomfortable silence for sure...
And this is why I don't fish crowded boats. That way I got room to move in situations like that.
Do you know what made that they guy so mad, was he drunk or something?
Long Island Fishing Capt wasn’t sure. Honestly, no one did anything to him as far as I could tell. Mates were perplexed! I don’t want to speculate as to mental health but my presumption is that may have played a factor...
I worked on the capt.scotty years ago night blue fishing and had a situation like this only worse the captian and the mates duct taped his hands feet and mouth and threw him down below till the coast guard arrived and arrested him !
Janice Borland thank God we never got to that point!!!!
Wow scary stuff, thanks for sharing John. Question for you, do you feel you may learn of new honey holes while on a party boat, or do you feel your own chartplotter marks are more productive in the Montauk area?
Hey Leon. We are pretty committed to our marks. Honestly, the day was pretty hazy and foggy so I didn’t even know exactly where we were fishing.
John, while I much prefer being on my own boat, I will periodically take a party boat to get a sense of where they are headed to target certain species. I use the Navionics app on my phone to track the party boat. I mark the spots where the bite is hot and then transfer those coordinates into my Lowrance on my boat. If you came upon some bottom paved with Fluke aboard the Miss Montauk, you would want to know where you were, just a thought :).
You’re a better man than me Leon for admitting that...I’ve neeeeeeever done that :)
How do you work that slow pitch rod i just purchased a silver bullet. Any input would be greatley appreciated. Hope i dont regret buying it .
melo Ramirez I actually pretty much stopped using the slow pitch but it does work. You move the jig in short and slow 6 to 12 inch bursts. Key word is slow as fast jigging does nothing since the tip of the rod is so noodly....
@@jiggingjerks so its not that good then 😏 . Mite have to buy another rod then. I will give it a try thoe .
melo Ramirez I love the Jigging World Nexus and the St Croix Tidemaster. I’ve been almost exclusively using those last month with great results (this was filmed in mid July)
@@jiggingjerks i was thinking about the nexus also . Pulled the trigger on the wrong 1 it sounds like.
What's the name of that fishing boat
Miss Montauk
What alcohol will do to people that can’t drink. Lol, if the guy was creepy to you, especially to someone from NYC, he must be super creepy.
Did you write your intro song? Good shit guys
LeoLion my brother in law composed and that’s him and my then 10 year old niece singing it. Thank you for the kind words!
@@jiggingjerks thanks for answering a random question on an older video. Yeah I had that song stuck in my head so I had to know, in Gloucester MA we would of thrown his ass overboard hahah
LeoLion Hahahaha
How did that guy even get onboard ?
Keep on Fishing it’s a party boat - it’s open to all fares. They don’t give a mental competency test before you board. Captain told me afterwards in all the years he’s doing this, this had NEVER happened before
Boat captain still has right to deny passage. This guy had to show signs before boarding , and for safety of all, should have been questioned.
Keep on Fishing 50 - it’s not quite that easy. People often board party boats before the crew shows up. His behavior became evident only hours into the trip and miles from the dock.
he's lucky he follow those beer bottles lol
he was pissed he didn't catch any fish
Too many illegals in Montauk, I would have called the Coast Guard , you don't pay a head boat to put your life at risk, you take enough of a risk as it is.
I was on the gail Frances when it caught fire back in 01, did I expect that, no, but if you spend enough time on the water odds are against you.
I had only 1 trip where a passenger was out of hand, of course he was drinking, and on that day he picked the wrong guys to mess with , Myself and my 2 sons, we are all over 6' and my younger son played professional football was pumping iron like his father did back in the day, it was over before it started.
You can't pacify people who are out to cause problems, take em out of the picture and carry on.
NEW JERSEY….
Ya want a GREAT boat?
Out of Atlantic highlands marina..Fisherman with captain Santee
Get you on STRIPERS..fluke..
All right off of Sandy hook
Been on the boat many times
At least wait for a fin baby stark
these guys don't know billy joel? especially in long island? a travesty
Raptus hahaha - yeah, well Brian didn’t recognize it...Tangle Joe did....
Montauk 7-11 ice and sandwich? Really?
Peter Battista you sound like Doc lol - nothing wrong with 7/11 sandwiches! And I’m pretty sure their ice is water based like everyone else’s :)
That 7-11 even has sushi! No thanks, I pack my own shit! I've fished almost every weekend in Montauk this year coming from Staten Island but it's soooo worth the trip! I do enjoy your videos just start bringing your own lunch will ya!
Glad you were ok too dealing with that drunk asshole
if that was rolling rock he threw overboard so what but it mite have been of heineken..now thats just wrong..
Hahahaha - interesting take :)
hey john,,soon enough fluke videos again..yaayyy
What's the reel that you were using with the Tsunami slimwave rod?
John Mei Jigging World Chronos
how do you like it? seems nice and lightweight for fluke, but was wondering whether it could pull double duty as a bottom fishing reel.
John Mei I actually like it a lot - it is strong!!!! If it had a flipping switch, it would be my primary fluke reel
Hes drunk out of his mind they go to the hospital 4 x a week passed out he has no idea where he is ...I know of one case the drunk owes Brookhaven 8 million dollars it's a cycle,Good job cause that could have went sideway's in a split second
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. SUPREME law of our land
What’s up with throwing bottles overboard........no effen garbages on board....messed up
Will Fish not a big deal - they become artificial reefs. Remember, they just dealt with a tense sitauation and this was the bad actor’s bottles....
Once the safety issue was resolved, they could have poured out the beer and recycled the bottles. Never seen anyone tossing garbage off your boat.
Guys...plastic trash is one think....those bottles just become mini artificial reefs down there....I didn’t think that was a big deal
Seriously......I recycle. I bet you could rationalize anything
Will Fish you have to remember what the crew just went through - I agree not the best thing but in the heat of the moment, I understand why they did it.....
