2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!

[snafu313]

I used to live in NJ, but had to move out to Missouri because of job relocation. You guys have just given me a reason to come back for a week!
I'm IN!!

I like this idea but can't swing the time frame this year. I would love to see this get started and maybe become something on this coast. I keep hearing my buddy talk about his long range trips in Cali and how I really gotta go.

Should be a good time and good trip...

But fishing in nj, is nothing like fishing in california. There will never be a nj long range fleet, what would we fish for? go offshore, catch yellowfin, longfin, swords at night, mahi and tiles during the day, come inshore and catch some cod and pollock, then inshore for some seabass, finish it off with a little fluking at the rocks and then some blackfishing in 35ft off long branch? lol just breaking ballz guys..

California doesn't have 50+lb Yellowfin , Bluefin that you can jig , Night Swords , Mahi , or Big Eye Wolfpacks within 60 - 100 miles . To get away from the line shy live bait only fish California boats have to travel a day or more one way . Having fished on both coasts I like my odds better here . Give me a dumb chunk fish everytime !

I think this is great what BB is doing. I've often thought it would be very cool to have some San Diego style long range boats running out of NJ, NY or DE but it sure would be tough in the Fall with the weather we get offshore. I've gotten to the point now where I EXPECT Fall canyon trips to get blown out. I fished a full season out of Fishermen's Landing in San Diego and NEVER ONCE had a trip canceled due to weather!! Guess that's why it's called the Pacific...

In all the years of fishing out of San Diego I only had one trip canceled due to weather (Seaforth AM halfday) . We fished off the stern of the San Diego in the slip .

When Muldune & I did our long range EXCEL 5 day trip, fished the chunk with 30# test, our bluefish rigs...80# rigs on the troll...chunk caught bfts & lfts all 30-40# class fish...not quite like here.

It would be nice, but I don't see a long range fleet here on the East coast...be content knowing you can make at least ONE 48hr trip this year..we might be setting the precedent for the future...Only time will tell!!!
Thanks to Charlie Tuna and Capt. Bogan, we'll git 'er done Oh yea, check's in the mail for Sept. and for the Oct. trips...

That west coast trip was an adventure of a life time.Having talked to ol Pedro before and after the trip he was right on the money what west coast fishing is all about.
Really looking forward doing a 48hr trip trip on the Gambler.Thanks Capt Bob and Charlie Tuna for makeing this happen.
