Hi all.
If anyone knows the owner or operator of a fishing style boat, 24-28" named "Fish Story" would you please tell the driver i would like to have a word with him.
This afternoon while sitting under anchor fishing south of Esopus light house this boat started trolling south in line with me. The boat kept getting closer and closer and did not change course and was now on a collision heading. I blew horn....no change, screamed as loud as I could and the boat veered at the last second missing just missing us.
I was upset as this boat would have sunk us easily, but what really pissed me off is this guy never had the decency to say I'm sorry or anything but just kept on going as if nothing ever happened.
On top of that there were probably 7-9 people on board in stern area. Didn't see any NY boat number on it, wish I did.
If you know him let him know that I will report him and would still like to have a chit-chat with him >:(

I am very disappointed as I have Identified the boat and it's owner operator. I'm sure a few know also but didn't want to say anything. That's fine.
All I was really looking for was a apology from the person, mistakes happen, no big deal.
To ignore it - to me is big deal. So, awaiting a apology soon. Thank you.

I deal with keyboard hero’s like you everyday!!! Maybe you should invest in a good set of CHARTS, such as navionics!!!!  maybe you would understand why I crowded your boat 50-60 FEET If you don’t want trolling boats to hug you,don’t anchor up near a high spot. Feel free to report whatever you want. Did I hit you?, did you blow a horn on the front of your boat, facing the opposite direction of my boat? Was it an air horn? Did I run you over??? If I was so close to you, did I accidentally hook your lines!??? NO ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! I avoided a pinch point which you were anchored near. Don’t be jealous that I hooked a monster fish after passing you!!!!  I’m patiently waiting for an apology for being called out on social media!!!

Sincerely,
The owner of the fish story
