I agree that LSK could have done some things differently. I’m sure we can all say the same and have learned from our mistakes in the past. But some of you are a little harsh. I enjoy her reports. Love the Mojo reports and all the good info Phin posts too. Maybe this is an outsiders perspective but it seems like there are alot of people that treat her unfairly.
“Cant we all just get along” -Rodney King
I’m not treating her any differently than this site has treated me and many others.
I know that some others here have been out of line with their comments to her, so I hope I am not being pigeon holed into where those folks are.
LSK dishes out a lot on here, remember. So don’t be surprised to see a lot of folks giving it back to her.
i guess i should have clarified,i have 2 radios,the one scanning tends to get turned way down,the one on 16 is usually not a problem till you get near the harbour and you have the 15,ooo radio checks.
i have good speakers mounted near my head but with the wind noise i can not hear what they say(unless we stop),its part of getting old the hearing is getting bad…
You need something with a pilot house it sounds like. Get you a high back chair with flip down arm rests. Point all the AC vents at yourself then.
The Van Halen can be turned up on the exterior speakers as loud as your crew needs!
LSK is actually worse than the FloridaBoy rants a few years back… I honestly can’t read any of her reports anymore…personally I’m not sure how J…ever did…nevermind.
Phin, Imagine if you were late and the Coast Guard was unsuccesful at raising you on the radio. Im sure shed be giving it right back to you like usual. LSK is a great angler and she knows it, a little to brazen at times. If she needs to be humbled its better you do it than the ocean. Theres not one of us on here that isnt learning something on every trip we take. " its easy to be hard, its hard to be smart."

now that is funny and i know funny
also to sum it up, it is all about safety on the water, get a captain’s license, i dont have one but plan on getting one
finally, i would love to be a part of the fish off
Does the license turn into an Epirb? Float plan? COMMON SENSE? One of dumber comments I’ve read lately… Anyhow please explain your j-hook rigs, do you only break them out when you see crabs in the sargassum grass because you know you’re over structure? Or was it the triggers in the grass? Or you’re amazing ice capacity?
From what I can see “Pancake” and “phin” must work for the goverment, because they didnt do **** from about 10:00 to 12:30, except check charlestonfishing.com every twenty minutes.
LSK: You have twins and were 60 miles offshore? What’s the big deal? Did you have your epirb, life raft, etc? Shouldnt have been this much drama. I have been reported overdue before and it certainly did not turn into this much bs.
keep posting LSK, because I like giving you a hard time, because “that’s how I roll.”:)

Scoutin’,
You forgot to specify, are there any ice limits/restrictions? If so, well…

Best way to avoid a search party is to file a float plan with someone on shore. Give them a time that if you are 1 minute past then your in need of help. Plan your day accordingly. If you push it late call sea tow (if your a member) on the vhf and tell them to call your check in with a new time. I have done that exact thing a couple of times from 30 miles offshore with no issue.
Make sure the coasties spend their time on those that are in need of rescue. It takes some planning and coordination on your part but everyone espically your friends and family will appreciate the effort.
Other than that I would say nice to see the bikini pics return. Looking forward to some winter reports hahahaha!
i am not sure they make a VHF that i can hear while i am running 30knt on my center console,and yes i have external speakers…
as far as VHF’s go i end up turning my volume down most of the time while fishing just because about the time i need to hear something my crew has to say someone feels the need to talk,just aggravates the **** out of me,i go to get away from all that stuff…
by the way the CG was trying to contact us sat also,seems i have an epirb that sends a random signal while running in at 30 knots…didn’t hear the call till i was almost docked…they did scare the crap out of the wife…luckly we were way early on our return…
oh yeah we went 0 for 1 on swords…
You need to check out the Icom 602 or 604 if you can’t mount a good external speaker near your head. When you are that far offshore, you typically do not hear anybody but the towing companies or USCG when you have your squelch turned up a little.
If you are fishing in April-July with the rest of the CarolinaGoldMahiDoradoKingfisherman fleet, then I totally understand your points about aggravation. You gotta admit that there’s comedic value in listening around 3PM on those days though…
Not monitoring 16 while offshore is a bit like having a cell phone without voice mail or text messaging and never turning the phone on unless you’re calling out, isn’t it?
Another way to make the point is- what if everyone cut their VHF off or turned down whilst offshore like you do, Gut Wrench?
To clarify: The first post I ever put on CF.com to ask a question to the experts was answered sarcastically by LSK… seems we are all alike… a bunch of smart a**'s
Fish on.
Is this where I start posting pics of actual past catches or should I just leave it at me calling out LSK when she didn’t put up a fishing report for her adoring fans after fishing for 24+ hrs offshore?
