Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

Payment schedule updated on the first page.

Low man on the totem pole at work "ToggyTime" cant get the day off...so the first alternate spot goes to JandJ. I sent you a PM with the info.

Feels like Fall out there today. Nothing like Toggin with prune shriveled fingers. :D

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

Paid list updated 10-21-11

Got to have your check here Monday Tat's or I'll have to dip into the alternate pool.

JandJ has til the end of next figuring you just got bought up.

Dockside deli (Teddy) has offered up the sandwich duties and I'm thinking a couple Italian subs. 3' of course. We should all be sick of turkey after the previous day.

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

Did I not make the alternate lineup? Any reason? I had replied before others!:D

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

Bob
Im just seeing this now. My check was sent out early last week to the address stated on pg 3. If you don't get my check today go ahead and give my spot to an alternate. Not sure why you haven't received it.

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

Not sure Dave...but I'll keep an eye out for it today.

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

(2) 3' Subs on order from Dockside Deli. Thanks Ted! One Italian and one Roast Beef/Provolone. Everything on 'em with oil & vinegar on the side. 5# of mac salad, 3 bags of chips, and a case of Pepsi.

Who's baking some fresh chocolate chip cookies?! :p

10 days out and hoping for one of these blue bird days!

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

Thanks for the order bro. I'm sure everyone will enjoy.... we make a kick ass sub!!! Being the fat bastard that I am... I know a good one from a bad one.:D
All of the salads are home made...and I will throw in a couple of #'s of potato salad too.

Since I have a pass on the family thing for turkey day and I am only going to fish in the morning..... I will personally make you guys a batch of cookies, so no need for anyone to bring.

I hope you have a blue bird day too.

On the outside chance you know the weather is going to blow on Fri and the boats not going to sail.... call me by 3pm on Wed.... let me know and I can cancel the bread.

If you know your not going Thursday night, give me a call on my cell and let me know and all you will have to pay for is the bread.

After you pick up the food I will be heading out on my boat for a little toggin as well. Going to beat you to the spot...eheheheheh.

Thanks again,

Capt Coldcuts out!!!

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

Thanks Ted! Will do and thanks for all the other "extras".

Now about that beating us to the spot...:eek: :D

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

Boat will be sailing @ 6:30.

Boarding order in order of sign up.

There will be plenty of "skating" I'm sure. :D

White crabs were not included in the cost of the trip. If people want them, I can try to make arrangements. Cost would be $10 each if the whole boat goes in. ( $60 a bushel X 2 ) with $20 going to the driver/delivery.

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

Have to get there extra early to make sure I'm allowed on da boat! But I will be there. Thanks again for setting it up Bob.

As far as the whites go, Didn't need them on Saturday but I willl go with the majority.

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

Good Luck guys - Be well - Be Safe and Catchum-Up

Cant wait for the follow-up report

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

TRIP UPDATE

First and foremost....Happy Thanksgiving!

A second bushel of whites has been acquired, and is well tended for tomorrows trip. I hope everyone is in agreement with their usage. Build the life with the greens and break out the whites when the bite gets "scratchy".

I had a look at the cabin and can only ask that NO foul weather bags be bought on board. If you have something you want to wear out there, put it on at the car. Consolidations of gear will make for a more enjoyable day under "cozy" conditions.

Capt Jimmy has asked you to make arrangements for a LONG day. This will be a marathon trip so plan accordingly.

W**th*r looks good and I'll see you on the boat!

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

Happy thanksgiving . Looking forward to tomorrow and I know MikeG , PaulieC, Johhny , Bigeye and myself are in on the extra bushel of whites . See you in the AM.

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

Looking forward to it.

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

good luck boys i got a feeling they are gonna eat glad to see ya actually going out tats ahahhahahah

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

Happy thanksgiving everyone. I am all packed and ready to go.

I will be bringing a few built rods and also blanks for blackfish that you guys can check out.

Trip Wrap up

Got to Dockside Deli at 5:45am with Ted and crew waiting on me to load the food into my truck. (2) 3' subs, mac salad, potato salad and some chocolate chip cookies made by the owner himself. Each sub slice wrapped individually? Home run move Ted and they went steady all day long. Awesome!

Got to the boat and we all loaded up and off we went. The no breeze inshore turned into a steady 20kt offshore. Made for some good anchoring, but was in yer face all day.

The bow got the chew going off the bat with Chris swinging a couple fish followed by Carl boating a 6# male. Well, we just get to talk enough so off I went to settle in next to him. Boated 4 fish in 15 minutes as it was a lights out chew going up the anchors. Saw JandJ in the back of the boat not getting any love, so I called him up to stand in my spot and I backed out. He banged 2 fish on the head and it was still going as I watched Chris swing fish after fish. Again, I felt the need to talk about this with him so I jumped the pulpit and settled in next to him. Another fish or two...but then I started to feel bad for snaking in there like that. UNTIL I see Capt Jimmy straddle the pulpit and swing a 3# male (photo attached). Nice work Capt! Bite slowed a bit so a little wiggle, and it was on again for the P.A. bow boys boating a few more fish. (Dennis even trying the "over the shoulder" technique perfected by Doug the week before)

...and then it slowed. Jimmy pulled and put us on great bottom all day, but the fish came in dribs and drabs with them pushing baits and scratchy bites at best. Trick today was work for 'em and move around the boat finding a new piece to work. Give it 10 minutes...and move on for another pile. Fish were there, but just not commiting.

Guys who came in groups (the P.A. boys & Garone crew) and solo (reelRon and Dave Tats), hopefully enjoyed the day, caught some fish and busted a ton of balls....and the guys who came solo and had limited experience spent some time checking out techniques, rigs, bait selection...and catching.

Total tally on the day was between 40-50 fish to 6#. Chris had the pickle barrel bite of the day and boated his limit + while I skated every inch of the boat to pull 9.

Thanks to the Capt and crew and everyone who showed up to fish instead of hanging Christmas lights at home. Haha!

Same time next year? You fellas have first dibs! :D

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

Thanks fin s for setting up the trip! What better then to fish for black fish on black friday!! Especially when i met Dennis at 3:30am and we had to creep through town cause of all the shoppers walking from store to store!:confused:

Like fin s said you had to work for your bites today. We fished a few different depths on all good bottom but the fish just didn't want to chew. I was fortunate to be in the pickle barrel on the first drop of the day. But like fin s said the rest of the day you had to keep moving and casting around to try to find a hungry fish!

But just like any fishing trip with fellow anglers and freinds we had a great time with a lot of laughs!!

Next year sounds like plan put me on the list!!

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

sounds like a good trip on a tough day! I heard the bite was not easy yesterday. The pic with the capt sitting on the anchor tree is great. I wanna claim a spot for next year early should some one back out:D

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

"Each sub slice wrapped individually? Home run move Ted and they went steady all day long. Awesome!" Great idea as this way no one could get any food items all over their hands or get any crab all over the next slice!

I have to learn to move more, oil my skates or something. But John was catching next to me so I kept sliding forward, on the starbord side until I managed to pull two out from under him. Unfortunately, my only two. (Ah, where is my "son-in-law when I need him?)

Great day Bob, again thanks for putting it together for us, Got to make some new NJF friends too.

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

I see Dennis was using my over the shoulder method

Re: Black Friday Blackfishing anyone?
 

ashame I didnt get in on it as an alternate, but would love to get on it next year if anyone plans on not attending!!! Great report!!:D
