Question For Potential Charters...

[whitemarlin16]

Your not going back to PGA this year ? where you headed rivera ? thats just about the only bad ghetto around that area. the ride aint that bad from our marina but in a charters mind it might be a lil long. trade that express in for a C C join the club Buddy !!!

Riviera Beach/Lake Park ????

[Deep C]

Yup.... Riviera...

Still in the thought process...

I would definetely move to the second marina. But the thing you have to remember, is NOT EVERYONE IS A HARDCORE FISHERMAN. (Almost) All of us on this board are he for one reason: to eat sleep and breath fishing.

If a family out for a day of fun on the water wants to catch a few fish, they probably don't want to go through the ghetto to do it. For the hardcore guys, they don't care as long as they catch fish. I think it may depend on who you service more and what your priorities are: Fish or fun?

Solution: Buy another Deep C and keep one at each marina

I do have one at each marina right now... And yes there are quite a few families with kids I cater to. "Oh look kids... A crack whore puking on the nice homeless man..."

As for how rough? Well I wouldn't say dangerous but the ride in is scenic. I have never had a problem with my car broken into. There again not a lot of people bother guys carrying flying gaffs and harpoons and other impliments of death...

Classic

If it's not dangerous and the marina is nice, then I would go there even for the families. As long as they don't get mugged or robbed

Paul,
Don't many of your customers come from NJ/PA area, If so, I think most of us up this way are use to area's much worse than Riviera Beach. I don't think that area is anywhere near as bad as Newark, Camden, Asbury Park, S. Philly etc.

Those places are Beverly hills in comparison. Its one of the favorite stops for "COPS" on tv...
Actually its nothing that would shake up a guy but women and kids... well its just again a bit scenic... Especially on the weekend morns. They're still out in force peddling crack and tail. They'll jump right out in front of you sometimes and want money on rare occasions but seldom do they get violent.
