The night before me and my dad went fishing id get so excited i could barely sleep, id stay up reading my piles of THE FISHERMAN magazine and it was like christmas eve to me.great times back in the 70,s fishing with my dad and when hed say those dreaded words(ya wanna call it a day) it was like i was heartbroken and crushed.im 56 now and before i croak id like to fish again and feel that great excitement of having a fish on the line
You are nuts going to George’s in a skiff especially with passengers can’t believe you could carry enough fuel to get out and back man the weather can go to hell a lot faster than you could get out of there
We carefully chose our weather window and that boat fished and transited in 6-8ft seas many times. it is not necessarily about the boat, it is mostly about the reasonable operation of the boat. Shackleton's boat was the exact same length and not nearly as seaworthy and he saw seas that were much larger. Also, please note that there is another boat filming this.
Capt Joe took us on a very long run to some pieces of bottom that were incredibly small. However, the Helen-H continues to operate after all these years because if there are fish to be found, they find them!
First off. There not on George’s in that garbage can. Second. They don’t have a permit for George’s. Stop lying to the people. And I know joe. Well. Ur on the west side of the channel. Cod fish ground
I can certainly understand your skepticism! That show was filmed in 2004 and I assure you we were on the banks. Capt Joe Wienberg actually left 3 hours before us so we could use his boat as the camera boat. If you know Joe Huckmeyer (Helen-H), feel free to ask him. It was a long trip and worth every bit of it. Joe put us on one of the many wrecks and the bite was awesome. We got everything we needed in less than 2 hours of fishing, and then moved well inshore to flim a seabass show with Joe Wienberg. We flimed severl shows with Capt Joe Huckemeyer, and they were all amazing. The boat in that show (24ft Edgewater) saw action at Jeffery's Ledge, Georges Bank, Block Island, Martha's Vineyard, and countless other places. it was all we could afford at the time and it had to go wherever the fish were. I recently sold it after using it as a charter boat through 2018.
