RFA-NJ 4th Annual Striper A Thon Trip

[dales529]

As Capt Adam said a huge THANKS to all that attended. Cant say enough about the effort given by Capt Ron, Chris, Robbie and mike on a day where fishing was tough to say the least. We traveled the bay, NY side, NJ side and inbetween trying to get a bait bite going but it wasnt meant to be. A long ride Ocean side to the"rocks" found some bird life and scattered schools of blues with some bass. As soon as Ron got us in place we got a few hook-ups but then the "Armada" of boats followed and put the fish down. Every boat from MI North to the Hook were there so you knew it was the only game in town.


Congratulations to the prize winners and Jeff (Saltlife) on the pool and high hook honors. Guy was on fire at the pulpit when we did get on the fish!

The Hatfield's I mean Greg Heiser clan made their usual strong showing of support and took the 50/50 along with some bucktails. Well deserved. Vinntastic took the Rod/ reel combo (this guy just is lucky no matter what) and the Criswells won their share as well. Some great open trips were awarded and everyone on board got a Jersey Jay Croc.

I really want to thank our sponsers who donated prizes. Jersey Jay, Bucktail Boys, Mike @Sharkbites, Max @ PrideFishing, Pete@ Atlantic Bait and Tackle, Chad from Tagged Fish Charters, Chris from K-Kat Sportfishing, Jack from the BINGO. This really took the edge off from the tough fishing and everyone had a great time.

Also Jeff Shirtguy who once again provided the RFA-Nj Boat Banner and printed Hand towels for all.

Thanks again, I will find a better way to pick a date that the fish recognize next time. hope you all had a great time.

Next up Fluke! Keep you posted
