You know Fresh water is for drinking

Good to know they're out there. I'll be taking a swing at them again on Sunday, Acre Shaker, Channel 68. Hail me if you want to know where the tuna aren't.

Hey Mark

Great report....heard of the same all the way up Jeffs Ledge...

But whats a jump_f????

I am also curious about the definition of the phrase "jump-f*ck"? Can someone help out here, I can't seem to find it in Webster's...

Given the context my guess is a guy/boat hears of somebody hooking up and "jumps" over to wherever that is. Jumpf*cks=followers. I believe his point was that it was funny to see everyone all bunched up b/c the fish were everywhere. At least that's my take.

Ahhhh....that's what you call them. I've found it particularly brutal this year. Last couple weeks not as bad becasue fishing where there haven't been many boats but earlier in the year every fish had guys running over and either casting or dropping out balloons. Funny thing is you never see them hook up. Wonder why?

Got to the point where just shake your head. Or just drag the 67" fish right at them and make them move. Then keep doing it so they constantly have to pull their gear in. I mean all the fish have been small and under control so no big deal but it's not going to be too funny when it's a 500lber at the beginning of the fight with 350-400 yds of line out.

The jump-fuck, or more accurately what I call the Cape Cod Jump-Fuck (CCJF), is pretty much as you all have described. The exception is that the CCJF occurs in several forms. First, you have the radio jump-fuck. Ppl hear a couple of guys fishing an area and they manage to broadcast a rough location. The JF'er zeros in and strikes. The second JF is exactly what you describe. The JF'er sees guys hooked up and BAM, comes on in, scopes things out and stakes the claim. The worst and what I call the CLASSIC Cape Cod Jump Fuck is both rare and bombastic; amazingly brazen in its arrogance. The JF'er obtains its info under direct observation (as in JF 2) or radio fishing (as in JF 1). The JF'er then steams into the area, pulling up short and either deploying it's trolling gear or simply "scoping out" the area, all the while ignoring the jump fuckees. When the JF'ers observe fish up they will, depending on tactics being used at the time, either troll towards of run and gun at said fish. NOW, the CLASSIC part of this is that, when the JF'er is either confronted or thwarted in his attempt to JF the JF'ees, AND, more deliciously, the JF'ees hook up, the JF'er will loudly and ridiculously announce his stunned amazmement at this turn of events, claiming ownership of the fish that he JF'ed! THAT, my friends, is the CLASSIC Cape Cod Jump Fuck. I saw many of #'s 1 and 2, but only one example of #3 yesterday and it was TEXTBOOK in all components!!!

you missed the fog variant - the radar jump fuck

[SteveK]

Don't forget the internet version of the JFer where the JFer claims to be the JFee the the next day on line and he accuses said jump fuckee of being the jump fucker and had his fish stolen right under his nose. Of course, the internet JFer goes on in great detail that the bite died minutes later, and the internet JFer rants and raves about the lousy fishing and he gets skunked again.............

LMFAO

[HIGHTIMES]

where was the Humpback hang out? I have a whale watch trip planned for this weekend and would not want to waste time trolling for tuna *unless* I just happened to be in the midst of a killer whale show to keep the boatful of 23 year old girls entertained while I entertain myself

you need a mate?
