Rumor has it that Andy's 7 1/2lb sea bass............. was loaded with sinkers.

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

No sinkers in that fish !!!

Weather looks great, get on the phone and get a few more people !!

Re: NJFishing seabass trip

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

We have 21 confirmed- I think we will have enough to go. Everyone may have to kick in an extra 20 or so if they are able, but we should be going. I will go talk to bob about it right now.

Re: NJFishing seabass trip

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

Ryan I know how hard you worked on this trip I hope you and the rest of the guys going really hit em hard. Good luck to all.:cool: :cool: :cool:

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

You guys are going to have excellent conditions. Fill up those coolers!!! Be safe! Go get them!!!! :D

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

No problem for me either!! Was going to suggest that anyhow!!!

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

I hope we do Topeka Boy. Ryan defintely went through a lot of crap putting this trip together. Hope we kill em. Looking forward to meeting some new people, including AndyS. See yall there.

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

WE ARE GONNA GO!!!!!!!!!! Got off the phone with bob, we're gonna get 'em! Call me if you still want a spot- we got plenty! Give me a call at 732-977-5944 if you want to go, but we are out of bunks at this point.

All that crap will be worth it if we kill 'em tonight! I will update everyone on the money situation when we get to the boat- I don't want to have to ask people for extra $$.

I will be there at 10 PM tonight- there is no need to get there earlier than 11 or so- all we will do is stare at each other until 12 anyways.

Thanks again for everyone who helped me put this trip together.

Ryan

Re: NJFishing seabass trip
 

Here is my report. Apologies to anyone I forgot to mention, there were a lot of guys out there and I was pretty tired!

Got down to the boat at 10 PM, met up with a few guys, got on board at 12:30 and we were pulling out of the slip at 1:05. After a nice sandwich cooked by Tom (kieth's dad), it was off to sleep and tie rigs for the 4 hr ride to the grounds.

We dropped in to the first wreck at about 5:30 AM. Fishing was OUTSTANDING! From the moment you hit the bottom, fish were attacking the bait! I pulled up several double header seabass and porkchops, and it stayed this way for about 2 hours. Fishing was nothing short of AWESOME! After a shift the action died, and we moved on to another wreck. This wreck had a few more doggies than the last one, but we still managed to put a catch together and I topped off my limit of seabass here. With a lot of filleting to do, we headed for home at 3:00 or so with a crowd of happy anglers and full coolers!

I myself had a limit of seabass and 30 chops along with a ling and a couple nice bergalls. Others had comparable amounts, with varying amounts of bluefish for each angler.

Pool fish was a 7 lb 7 oz seabass had by Paul Arber, on his first ever offshore trip.

High hook honors go to Samsky, Sam, on his first EVER offshore seabass trip. After being cajoled into going and doubting that it would be that much better than inshore, Sam saw the light after OVER 40 JUMBO seabass and 20 porkchops (only retained limit). Great job on your first trip sam- let us all know how those arms feel in the morning!

Special thanks go out to Capt. Bob of the gambler for allowing us to move the trip on such short notice, and to AndyS for helping me run the trip. I would also like to thank the crew of Capt. Mike and Keith, who were great at keeping everyone in the water and taking out tangles as well as cutting fish on the way in. Thanks again for your hard work guys!

My camera was not working, bobby will have some pictures for us later, I think. I took plenty with his camera for him. We had over 7 totes filled with racks at the end of the day, and I know a good amount of those fish left whole.
