Only 33 people fluke fish in New Jersey, find that hard to believe. Where are all these "wonder rig" folks? They seem to talk a good game but can they walk the walk against some of the greatest jig fisherman? Sign up and lets find out.
Lets get this trip filled, good people, lots of laughs, great boat, Capt Ron is the best along with Joey and Joe.

I can’t wait for this trip! Should be one to remember! Quite a few Fluke masters on this trip! Can’t wait to mug em’ all!!!:D

From Larry Hartattack: Very nice Larry. :D
Hey Dave. I'd like to donate 2 (used) matching e-glass Sam Scot rods for the RFA raffle.

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

Here is the skinny gents:
Boat costs $3500.00
Proper Tip 20% would be $700.00
$4200 boat costs

Lunch, water etc averages over the years another $400.00 or $10.00 PP
So $4600.00
Paypal takes $3.78 off every sign up also

So Trip was based on 40 @ $120 = $4800 leaving a paltry $200.00 minus paypal fees to RFA plus raffles and 50/50

As you can see this is NOT a winner for RFA-NJ but I do it every year to try and help us recreational fishermen and we usually have a great time. Could use 10 more but if not I will pick up the tab and donate the remaining spots to Wounded Warriors and a Take a Kid fishing group. However it would be nice to just fill the trip and donate to those groups as well
.
Worse case we could ditch lunch and you bring your own saving 3 -4 spots.

Either way we will SAIL with the same guys that step up every year !

I’d be fine brown bagging....
Maybe pass the hat as well

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

BYOB is the way to go

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

Dave thank you and the RFA for your combined efforts coordinating this trip all these years and on-going efforts representing the recreational fishing community. I don't think any of us realize the time and effort involved putting these trips together so again thanks for all your hard work. As far as lunch, I never expected lunch and I think everyone in my group is planning on bringing something so no big deal for us if it's "bring your own". I'll bring some Sloppy Joe sandwiches again for the boat. All about supporting the cause and having a good day on the water with friends.

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

I got a feelin guys, this trip is going to be big!
What a better way than to be on board when the Fluke finally start to bite, which I think is gonna start to happen within the next several days!

If these guys don't catch them.....No body will!!:)

Let's do this!!
Capt.Ron

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

Dave I am down with whatever Ill bring my own food and what not if that's what everyone wants to do. Oh and make sure everyone brings their A game bc I am the reigning champion of the RFA trips!! :eek::eek::eek::D:D:D:D Looking for a repeat! haha

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

You are the current reigning chump. I do NOT recall you winning on multiple trips and it ain't never gonna happen :p Additionally you will be forced to change your avatar when your reign ends on June 29th. Maybe Shrimpman should lend you his Bull's Eye t-shirt ;)

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

lol:d:d

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

Thanks for positive projection Capt Ron

I cant catch crap anyway and regardless of what happens we will always have a great time

What happens at sea stays at sea even if you have the pictures to prove it

Da-Nile is more than a river in Egypt

Gdubs-:cool:

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

That's funny but true! Yesterday was the June full moon, should bring a new body of fish in. Air temperatures forecast for 70's and 80's next two weeks, water temps should warm a bit. If someone knows where the shut off valve is for this frigging rain, would appreciate using it!

Never know unless you have a line in the water. If by chance fishing is picky, Dave's going to give a seminar on techniques to catch silver eels and how to get your line caught in the boats props........all free of charge:>)

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

Hey. I still have that shirt:D

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

Not easy especially when fishing in the bow but I certainly will share the "PROP"er techniques.
1) Your arms are tired from bailing keeper seabass to help those less talented in your group so you target prop or eel fish so you can take a break while the mate re rigs you!

2) Just wait for the boat to back up on the spot , turn to bust Larry Hartattack who is already tangled or YOU TOM, or ask Duff to move but he is listening to Boston Bruins Cult messages on ear buds so cant hear you and you are in the prop.

3) For Silver or Conger eels, imagine a huge seabass or cod bite and get disappointed by the eel. Really pretty simple stuff

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

Anyone wanna do a high roller pool?? $20 buy in? Or we could do $10? Heaviest single FLUKE takes it all home plus the bragging rights!!:D

Rules

1. Heaviest FLUKE wins.

2. Only 1 line in the water at a time.

3. If there are 2 fish that are very close in weight they will be weighed at the dock.

4. Bait, jigs, crazy rigs from japan, wonder if its gonna work rigs, etc. All fair game.

5. If case of a tie the pot will be split equally.

6. To keep it fair and honest the crew will handle it. Collect the money and weigh the fish with THEIR scale.

7. You will get a zip tie with a number. This number will correspond with your name when you pay. Keep this with you and at the end of the trip attach that to your largest FLUKE and get it weighed in.

8. Winner takes all.

9. Use any cut bait you desire but make sure to keep it legal! Remember its BYOB.

10. Last. Keep it fun. This is a great trip with a great group of people. So lets just have a good time!!

From Capt Ron:
I'd like to Thank Nick Ciccero & Folsom Corp for donating a Very Nice Tsunami Shield Spinning Reel to the Raffle, these guys always step up and support the Fishermen.
Nick NEVER say's "What do you Want", he always says, "What do you Need"!!!

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

34 people signed up... Only 23 have paid! WTF are you waiting for??

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

Yes

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

I don't know about "WTF are you waiting for" thing is but, the Mcguigan pay pal payment is from me. See you Saturday.

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

Its OK Jeff, I hadnt updated the list in a while. Updated now and we ARE SAILING either way. May take it on the chin a little this year as far as fundraising but we have a great crew that always steps up so we are honoring you guys by sailing light if we have to.
Still time for a few more though so we shall see.Everyone is paid or arrangements have been made except for:
TerriMC223
Artie Jar head

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

No worries Rocky you are IN. Thanks and always a pleasure fishing with you!

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

Rocky......look forward to the trip and actually meeting. Have had virtual exchanges but will be good to meet in person. Think it's going to be a good trip, great captain and crew, weather seems to be setting up nicely and some new fish seem to be moving in. Going to be a blast, look forward to seeing everyone on the boat.

Jeff hopefully most in our group will join the $20 pool. assume we can discuss it at the boat. I know my son and I are definitely in, have to believe most in my party will roll the dice as well. Adds to the suspense and ball busting that will ensue!

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

The weather is looking good and the fishing is finally getting hot. Should be a great trip.

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

Just messing around. Good to know we are going! Gonna be a great trip. Fishing is getting better too!! I have everything for the pool. Just wanna know if everyone wants to do $20 or $10?

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

I personally think $10 is the way to go and you pay $30:p

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

Does the pool include shit fish?
:D

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

lol. $10 is fine with me

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

Fluke only! haha

Re: Getting the band back together RFA Fluke trip June 29th Official sign up
 

T-minus 3 days! Make sure you bring your A game!
