If this is Jerry's spot.... UE should be footing the bill IN FULL and then some.

I appreciate your efforts putting this trip together Willie. You can forget about my coming to TX and fishing the Big E.

No Thanks.

I have made many trips on the Big E and UE makes good decisions. I would take the spot except I have a BlueFin Tuna trip booked up east. I am sure UE would not take a guy with a bad heart problem and has to be taken off the boat with a Coast Guard Helicopter. There are a lot of liability issures with a guy like that.

its not that hard/expensive to just get a waiver written by an attorney and have everyone sign it.

Been following the 2cool site. Sent off two emails to UE. Not cool of them to do this. Btw, I am a year older than Jerry and yes like him a Nam Vet. Dehydration could happen to me as well. Am I blackballed from Siete Tuna too?

ALW · 09-04-2008, 10:09 AM

I just think it is inconsiderate to your fellow fishermen to screw up their trip. I would never do this in that state of health. If you know you have health issures, don't book a trip like this.

It is not really an age issue or Vietnam vet issue.

It is more a liability.

The CG may just tell the Big E to return to port next time.

well hopefully it works out. its the nicest party boat in the US shot of SD long range boats.

My understanding was this was a dehydration issue, not a heart issue. If so, that can happen to anyone down there. When it comes to fighting big, mean fish in the gulf during the summer, I think we all have potential health issues if we're not careful!

If your doctor says you are well enough to go on the trip then why would you be denied boarding on a private charter?

Also, if the private charter understands the situation and they agree, then why deny boarding?

A perfectly healthy individual could not hydrate properly and stand in the heat bottom fishing all day and succumb to heat exhaustion, should they be banned from all offshore excursions?

I heard of someone passing on a long range charter, maybe we should just ban all those over the age of? if your bmi is above ? if you take any medication? the list would never stop.

let the man fish, the charter members are paying, right?

If there is some type of liability issue, then so be it, but that slope doesn't fall in one direction.

ALW, you are wrong on this one. Others are right, dehydration is not a recurring health problem. It could happen to any one of us if we don't take enough liquids. If the comment about Jerry's age is correct, then I should be banned as well. My fishing buds are older than I. If they couldn't go, I would not go as well.
