Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

I'm sorry to say that I will be unable to make this trip. We are having a 2 year old birthday party for my son on that day.

I'm sure you guys will have a blast and Capt Ron will put you on the meat! Good luck! Hope they bite good.

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

I'll take a spot. Definitely worth the trip down from LI to support a very worthy cause.

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

Over half filled in 2 days!!. This site is amazing. Thanks for the continued participation. Looks like a great crew and with Capt Ron, Chris and Robbie we will be in for a great day on the water.

Registration and payment information is now available on www.rfa-nj.org.
Thanks Adam.

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

how am i the 5th person to reply yet the 15th to board.

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

M Rod,
The Hester group does not post on the site. They were informed of the trip and took the spot when we contacted them.

Thanks for the support, guys. It is great to see. While I will not be able to attend this one, I will make sure I can attend the next one. I need to get a keeper on one of the trips soon. LOL

Guys, enjoy the trip and thanks again

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

I could use a shrimpman sweatshirt:D, it's gotta be xxxl

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

Dales, I'll be back from the annual Florida trip but unfortunately my cousin is getting married in Norther Jerz Friday night 27th pretty sure we aren't making the early start on Saturday. Good luck with the first of many RFA trips this year, you will def have my support for all future trips...

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

YOU CAN HAVE MY SPOT,I NEED A NEW SHIMANO BAITRUNNER 4500 AND A HOODY,AND WILL TALK ABOUT IT AS WE FISH SIDE BY SIDE:eek: ;) :p

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

Due to a work related issue, I will not be able to make the trip-please remove my name and 2 spots from the list.

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

2 Weeks to go and we seem to have stalled at 26 sign ups. Ususally goes that way until the last week but I am sure people will step up again as usual. Excellent crew already and some pullers to say the least
Fishing has been excellent with just a few "off" days here and there. Some real quality fish being taken. There is no doubt Capt Ron , Chris and Robbie will do their part.

Some door prizes are drifting in and there will be the usual great tackle to win. We have Handmade Diamond Jig packs from our own Sam The Sinkerman as well the infamous Jesrey Jays Krocs and Spoon packs. These are made by sponsers and just put a hurtin on the bass. Plenty more to come.

Hope you will look at the big picture, come out for a great day on the water and fish, eat and drink with your friends, sponsers as well as meet some new faces.

Thanks.

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

I hate to say this but I have to back out of this trip due to a schedule change to my son's soccer schedule. I apologize for the inconvenience. If you are doing raffles I'd still like to send a check for a few in order to support a good cause. Send me a PM if that is possible.

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

Crabcake. No problem, Family comes first, I am sure your son appreciates you attending his games. great time to spend together and they dont forget it. PM sent

Skolmann, same deal work gets in the way sometimes. Catch with you next time.

Anyone on the fence for whatever reason be advised that as important it is to support the groups that fight for our fishing rights and for me the RFA-NJ Chapter we understand that not everyone can make it for whatever reason. For those that can these trips have really turned into a fun time on the water with great people, super captains and sometimes even a fish or two. The fundraiser, raffles etc add an extra mantra to the day and we certainly appreciate everyone who makes the attempt.

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

come on guys! a good cause, a great boat, and fantastic people. It would be a shame to cancel due to lack of activity!

let's get some new faces on this trip! get off the couch and go fishin:D

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

Dave and Fran and a few others go through alot of time and effort putting these trips together...Captains and crews give up their boats and time for 40 of us when they perhaps could be railed at this time of year...Food, soda, water and a donation is included and yet everytime it's just about the same faces that sign up..With the hundreds, if not thousands of guys on this site, these trips should fill up in days, but with only 2 weeks to go it's only half filled...
How about some of you super stars signing up and showing us normal people how good you really are...
For you new guys to the site...Sign up, meet the faces behind the names , fish with one of the best Capts in NJ, and maybe just go home with some fish...

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

I'm newbie on this site and signed up for this trip....may I suggest to wear name tags with NJFishing.com Username (and real name if ok). This will help tremendously new commers like me. It seems most of the folks already know each other. At least I will be reading name tags..;-)

By the way, I'm hopeful this trip will get the 40 or more fishermen. I am really excited and looking forward to this trip...

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

What makes you say the price is wrong? This is NOT a standard open PB trip but a charter and based on the amount of people we are taking its more than fair. Where do you get that fishing time, reputable captain, lunch, drinks , crew tip and a small donation included for less than the asking price. Please let me know your calculations so maybe I can learn something new.

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

X2
Been on several of these trips now and the price of admission is more than worth the company kept and the donation to fight the right cause.

Dales, as you know I'm unable to make this one, but you can count me if for at least a solid 6-8 spots when that fluke day rolls around.

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

Ron, sent you a PM last week. NO problem. You and your dad as well as others in your circle have been on every trip the last 3 years.:D Fluke trip will most likely be the Friday before the PP Elks tourney. That worked out well last year except for the 110 degrees and slow fishing part:eek:

Ron, Sam and Shrimpy: Thanks for the backup and support, you guys all know the value and great time on these trips because you have been there time and again.

I am sure we will get enough to sail, for some reason it always comes down to the last week. This is the 4th year so you get used to the pattern.:confused:

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

Chris, Steve and I will definitely be on the next trips We always have a great time with good people!!! :D

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

I am upset I can not attend......I've met a lot of people on these trips in the last few years....you can't beat the company and not having to worry about lunch is clutch! Its like all you can eat subs, snacks and drinks (if you don't drink beer). Lastly, the raffles at the end are fun and exciting.....Oh yea,,,,and you may catch some fish! :D :D :D

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

DAM I have a wedding that night!:( :( :(

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

has any one seen capt Ron's reports or videos?
that should be enough to get you on the trip,
already got the event hand towels ordered
and maybe a couple other goodies, I can't
get upset at anyone for backing out, last year
due to running my own business I had to back
out last minute, but it felt good knowing that my
fair was paid and went to a good cause, as I
wouldn't take any refund, as far as the cost I can
assure you that capt ron will give you your moneys
worth in his non stop effort to get us on the fish, and
we will have 2 of the best mates in the industry

for the guys that have your own boats, hang
the keys up for one day and join this trip you
won't regret it and you may learn something
from this capt and crews knowledge and dedication

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

WUTTTTTT;) WUTTTTTTTTTTT;) WUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT:cool:

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

First off the good news is that there are still 14 spots available for the late decision makers. Fishing is great, Capt Ron is producing as usual and all around this will be a great trip.

Better News: At our RFA-NJ Board meeting last night it was unamiously deceided that this trip is a GO. Although participation is not quite what we had hoped for with just a little over a week to go we will NOT let down the anglers that have signed up, committed their time and support. Not unlike a Sponser Capt who sails with a light crew. Say what you want about the politics but Capt Adam and all of us at RFA-NJ are comitted to fishing first and foremost. The Gov may shut you out but we wont!.

In the past 3 years and 6 trips I have never had to venture far from NJFishing to sell out these trips and I suspect that the same will happen again this trip. Lets fill out these last spots but for the 26 that have signed on rest assured that you ARE fishing on the 28th.

Thanks Capt Adam and to all that have signed up, sent verbal support, other donations etc.

Also, I am recieving 40 Jersey Jays infamous Krocs and spoons. Everyone on board that gets in on the raffle for an arms length of tickets will get one to fish with.

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

Dales,
I was on the fence with going because of my nephew's comunion. but since the last time we talked my dad had a heart attack and emergency surgery.. so we've been back and forth to the hospitol.. So needless to say I can't make this one :-( You know how i love these trips.. You can count me in on the next one for sure.. Catch'em up boys!!!!!

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

Dales, Sorry it took me so long to signup. I needed to clear my calander first. I just completed my registration for myself and son. We had a great time last year and the Fisherman is a great boat. See you Saturday. Jeff:D :D :D :D

Re: RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip
 

I also got a friend from work to sign up as well. We need to keep this good cause going. :) :) :)
