Another sucessful RFA fundraiser. Thanks to Dave, Capt Fran, and Capt Bobby and crew for putting this together.

Like Sam said some did well. Others like myself did alot of catching but not much keeping. It was still a nice day even if the conditions were less than perfect. Dave should be posting some pictures of today's lucky fishermen.

Awesome trip! We laughed our butts off. Chris, Steven and I had a great time, between us three we had nine keeper Cod, 7 nice seabass and two ling. If conditions were better, I think the keeper ratio would of been higher. The Gambler crew as always did a phenomenal job! Thanks to Capt Bob, Capt Mike, Crew, Dale and Capt. Fran. Looking forward to next year's trips!

P.S. Nice fishing with Marilyn, Sandy and Debra. These women fished hard all day under the conditions. I tip my hat at all three of them. Good going Ladies. ;) :D

Great time today! Weather kicked our butts a little bit, but we got a decent catch together today. Lots of great fisherman to hang out with and lots of laughs. Jay, Steve and myself had a blast. Thank you Gambler crew, Dale and Capt Fran for putting together this trip. Until next time! I winded up with 4 keeper Cod and even won a raffle! Thanks for the Bucket of S#&T?!

Chris, feeding the fish beer disqualifies you from the pool!!!:eek: Looks like the wind was blowin' a bit there.

Re: RFA-NJ Fall Fish A Thon Sign up
 

I wanted to thank everyone for coming and it was a blast. I did land some fish on this trip but nothing for the box and that is fishing. Had a blast talking with everyone.

The ocean was not flat but it was fishable and some did put fish in the cooler.

Thanks Capt. Bobby and crew they did a great job and it is a great boat.

We will be back next year with some trips again and hope to see both old and new faces on the trips.

Thanks again for the support that all of you have give the RFA-NJ chapter this year.

Another RFA trip in the books.
First let me say Thanks to Capt Bob and the Gambler crew for another professional day on the water. Fast stable fishing vessel which is perfect for offshore Cod or Inshore anything with the weather patterns this time of year.

Pretty much it was typical PB Bottom fishing, depending on where you were you either had a good day or a not so good day. Over all though the Gambler and RFA supporters put a decent catch together and mates were cleaning fish the whole ride in. I was fishing the stern port corner with Richie Tropics. Fishing with Richie is like fishing with Leif and having your own personal mate. Thanks Rich, always a pleasure fishing with you. We ended the day with 1 keeper Cod and a Ling for me and Richie had two nice seabass. We caught shorts on Cod and Cbass, Many dogs, bergalls, Pout etc so busy catching just not keeping. Sam Sinkerman came through as always with top quality sinkers so I could donate a few and still have plenty. THANKS SAM , (class act).

Great fishing again with old and new people. Greg H. crew, again showed a strong effort and Chris M had a couple of beauties. Larry Hartattck, Mike M, MS Gold These guys/gals are always there for these trips. It was not a day for wandering around the boat so if I failed to mention anyone trust me we appreciate your support and hope you had a good time.

Two guys away Eugene F had a great day with a couple of real nice Cod and a few ling. Jay Santiago Team fished on the other stern corner including Jay,Steve and Chris. These guys were having a blast all day and caught well.

Best sighting of the day was while steaming to spot # 2 a bird decided to take a rest on top of Hartattack Larry's HEAD. When he realized his face was priceless, wish i had the camera ready.

Some great door prizes were awarded and many thanks to Kevin Bogan for another fabulous custom rod making fish very nervous, Dave A Reel Seat for the Rod/ Reel, Dicks Sporting Goods and Scottys B&T and RFA national.
Some poetic justice for Torchee, he snapped his rod in two swinging over the "endangered" dog fish but then won The Rod/Reel combo in the raffle.

Some pics attached. Thanks again for all your support, Fran and I also have a great time on these trips. See you in the spring.

Great trip, awesome crowd. Thanks Dave & Fran for stepping up for RFA again (& again & again. . .). The Ling were delish - - should've downgraded my hooks & bait and targeted more of them. Gambler is a great operation - thanks Captain Bob for a fun day. Had to laff when Torchee said " I hate when the weathermen get it right "!! :rolleyes:

Re: RFA-NJ Fall Fish A Thon Sign up
 

Had a great time yesterday. Great to meet everyone! Hope to see you all real soon!
