Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

anyone have thoughts on the amount of weights ill need? already have 12,14,&16,s. how many 20's you guys recomend?

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

Start with 24, go heavier if needed.

Bring the 12's , you can always tape 2 of them together. I usually fish tilefish weights, 1 and 2 lb.

Good Luck wish I could make it.

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

16 to 24 oz. I use a minumum of 16 usually and I fish braid. Don't want to tangle those around you. Looking forward to our trip on the 19 th. Bring plenty of rigs and maybe an extra rod and reel. See ya then.

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

thanx tropics never thought of using the slide sinkers with the banks, sinker man ill be ordering a few more , mike.
with possible 20 oz dont think my avet and other rod are going to wanna mess with that weight. whats the avg jig for pollock in those possible conditions would it be under 16oz?

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

mike

you got to be prepared, myself, i would not bring a freaking thing other then myself. trust me, bob will have everything you need and you can buy it on the boat, give him some business on tackle, every bit helps on these trips and all trips. unless you make your own rigs, i would also just buy rigs on the boat, they have the right stuff and they will be fully stocked with more in their stock them probably more then 50 guys combined.

Dont over stock yourself, bring 2 rods, 2 reels, bring clothes, sleeping bag, and your food and yourself.. Thats it! buy the rest on the boat!!! So much easier the lugging around 100lbs of crap that gets used 2 times a year if that!

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

What Sport said...No sense buying stuff that you may never use again just to let it lay around collecting dust...Most if not all the PB carry what you need for that type of trip...

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

Just a gentle reminder to all that have not paid up yet to send in your checks ASAP. I will be contacting those who have not paid shortly, but it would be very much appreciated if you could get your checks in to make my job a little easier. Thanks for your understanding. I'd hate to have someone not make it because of a missing check and we couldn't contact you.

We're all out of bunks at this point, but still have 14 spots left on the trip. It's gonna be a great cast of characters, and the offshore reports so far are looking great to catch some tasty seabass. PM me if you'd like to get aboard. I will be at the party on thursday, and feel free to come up to me and say hi.

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

The trip is shaping up rather nicely. Thank you to all of the people who sent in their $ and checks. I am still missing money from a few people. I'd rather not post up their names, but you guys know who you are. If the money is not in by next wednesday, I will unfortunately have to bump you guys from the trip, and I don't want to do that to anyone, but we need checks from people in order to go. Thanks for your understanding.

Due to a cancellation, one bunk has opened up. Let me know if you want it. First person to PM with check on the way gets it.

Great reports have been coming in, both from Capt. Howard on the Jamaica, Capt. Jeff on the voyager, Freddy on the Andrea's Toy, and from some peeps on the NS out of BL. We should get 'em good this trip, and the long range weather looks great!

Re: NJFishing seabass trip

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

Mike, I was out this past weekend and I used hi and lo rigs. Started with 5/0 and ended up using 3/0. Good luck!

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

Thx jay

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

Weather looks good for Sat into Sun. so far!!

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

Looks great right now for sat into sunday, but I don't wanna jinx anything at this point :p. I will take people in order of PM- not playing favorites here or anything. I have no bunks left at this point, we board in order of reservation number- trying to be as fair as possible here. We should have a great time! There are currently 14 spots left.

Edit: For guys that signed up earlier, If I haven't heard from you regarding payment by wednesday at 10 pm, I will give your spots away. I don't want to bump anyone, but there has been PLENTY of time to send in a check here. You guys know who you are- I've PM'd you multiple times.

Re: NJFishing seabass trip

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

has the gambler been out for sea bass yet? or is this his 1st trip

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

Just saw something about a coastal storm on Sunday! crap

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

There is a 30% chance of rain on Sunday. There not even sure, it will most likely blow over. Keep your fingers crossed and go catch them up.

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

Speaking of cold hands can't remember if the Gambler has heated rails?

Re: NJFishing seabass trip

lord mercy! Now we have to deal with ball busting on a medical level?

Damn this trip should be one demented ride!!!!

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

someones still upset about those cowboys lol :p

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

Sun. the forecast is for 25 to 35 from the north with 6 to 11 ft' seas! Not looking good imo!!

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

I agree, not looking great at this point, but there's not much we can do. Keep in mind, a HUGE portion of the time these people are WAY off anyway. It's still 4 days away, plenty of time for them to change the forecast on us again. Bob will make the final call, and I will post something here, Pm everyone, and will call everyone who PM's me their phone number and asks for a phone call with the decision if it's "no go." I will let people know as soon as I do. Hopefully it gets nicer and we can get the trip in.

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

Ask Bobby to leave Fri nite and fish Sat.

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

good idea1111

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

I myself like the idea- I have a call out to bob to see what he thinks. I will post up details as soon as I have them.

Reminder: Everyone that I have not heard from or who has not mailed in a check will be bumped at 10 PM tonight. I have sent you one last PM reminder.

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

i could most likely switch my plans for a sat trip if that came up

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

Saturday is just fine for me and my dad

We Have Moved To Saturday
 

The trip has been MOVED to saturday. We will leave at 1 AM, starting boarding at 12:01 AM SATURDAY, and will return 18 hrs later, at about 7-8 PM saturday, before the nasty weather arrives. Anyone on the original list will get first crack at the spots. If you can still go, give me a call on my cell 732-977-5944 and I will save your spot for you. Otherwise, you will be bumped at 7 PM friday night. We need 25 guys by 7 PM friday to pull this off. If we can't get 25, we won't be able to go (we have like 12 who can go right now). If you would like to go, call me on my cell or shoot me a PM and I will add you to the boarding list.

My phone will be off tomorrow during the day. Either PM me or call me and let me know:

1) How many people
2) Name
3) PHONE NUMBER TO CALL YOU BACK AT

Trip rules will remain the same. People will board in order of contact position to me, preference given to those who have contacted earlier (originally booked for the sunday date). Bunks go to first 20.

It will be CASH AT THE BOAT (please have exact change). Make SURE you can go before calling. If you say you're coming and don't, something horribly bad will happen to you (use your imagination to figure out what :p- just kidding).

If you want OUT and were in for sunday, just PM me and I'll work something out to get everyone their money back, but it will have to wait until after the trip.

Forecast is:

NW TO N WINDS 10 KT BECOMING NE. SEAS 2 TO 4 FT.


Who wants to try for a double bagout?
