Gary, yes there are seperate heads for fishermen and fisherwomen on the Fishermen.

FISH ON !!!!! :cool:

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

Richie is mentally tough!!! or touched ? Can be easily recognized by tools of the trade. :D

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

No one does this better than LAB but here goes. Some of you I know, some a little and some not at all. So I just made shyte up for FUN or if there is nothing its because I know nothing. Just fun so no hatin!!!

Pool Predictions:
- Vintastic: Has the pulpit (I assume) or at least first choice of spots, hot hand this year on the Fishermen. Has to be considered a threat.
- Hartattack: Been excited about the trip since March like a little kid. Lots of swings and misses.
- Thehammer: Actually responded to gerry about the ladies room: No chance
- Dockbuilder: Obviously (the name) knows something about bottom structure BUT we aint fishing at the dock.
- Mike M: heard some good things.
- Jon devin: Couldnt defend due to family issues. Hat and Crocs stay in the closet till next year. He coulda been a contender. Watch out for the donated replacement ?
- CJAZ: Sounds like a bottom fishermen
- MG / Duffman: Between "cooler" attendence and getting thrown out of the wheelhouse, I dont see enough fishing time to warrant consideration.
-Howarda780: Too nice a guy, no chance.
- ALSMako: Quiet, consistent and nonstop changing of bucktails. Got a few keepers last year. Could be a player.
- Lefty Reeler: Lots of good Karma floatin around for bumping up the trip count and helping out. Has the equipment but the technique??. Better happen early before the coolers open and the Italian socializing starts.Watch out for Ron SR though.-
- Shirtyguy: Too many capital letters and ink on the brain.
- John Henderson: Will be looking for Tuna on the surface all day and playing with the latest high tech spinning gear. Heck of a bottomfisherman though if its grouper or drum. Duh its a Fluke trip.
- Gerry Z: May know more about blackfishing than LAB but:: Unless he uses his "I own the site" mojo to trade up to a stern spot I dont see it in the cards.
- GDubya07: Seen some good reports but not this year and he call everyone SIR. Not happening
- Krueger: Dont know him but somehow feel he could be a factor.
- Bill-fish: Again too nice like Howie.
- Reelerin: Def a player but will be too busy identifying every bird that flies over and looking at how to better manage the landscape.
- Sinkerman: Too busy selling sinkers to fish.
- Tropics: Dresses the part and has the goods to finish in the top 5

RON SR: will go about his boat duties and pop out every so often to end up with a limit plus and the prize: (except hes not allowed in da pool)
- ME: Still practicing knots, no threat

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

Jon Devin's replacement is Paul Reese. Crocs are in the closet until 2011.

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

My money is on Gdubya to get the biggest fish to just below the surface. It's going to take him 10 minutes to do so with his game face on, reeling a 6.3:1 conventional at 1" per second. Now he hasn't fished much as his back has been healing so he's going to see that double digit monster, lose his composure from all of the excitement and pop it off.

ALSMako will land an early 5#'er, someone will take the lead from him, then he'll land a 7#'er late in the day for the win. Although he'll smile, he'll just keep talking about how little it is compared to the halibut.

Yes, Howie will be too busy caring about everyone else to invest the effort in winning :)

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

Dales - - any decent LAB wannabe "nos" that you gotta post odds. Winner will be from among Old Salts, Young Sharpies or "guests" :eek:

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

What's the story on rental rods, some of my googan friends dont have their own gear and like I said before I'm generous but not at the expense of my avet collection.

Update to the list:

Sonnick - "OUT"

Fender's Uncle "IN"
Fender's Friend "MAYBE"
Fender's Friend's Girlfriend "MAYBE"
Pistol Pat "IN"
HR Specialist "MAYBE"
HR Speacialist's Husband "MAYBE"

As for the pool, my money is on ALS otherwise rental rod takes it on a dummy stick with a mouth full of ginger snaps, gnawing on ginger root while taking sips of Ginger Ale.

See u monkeys in the morning - I'll be down there at 6am sunglases on killing Miller Lites, and just cause I talk with my hands doesnt make me Italian.

Ron Sr (Not Captain Ron's Sr), now owns a Fish Poison so look out the Duke of Fluke rests quielty among the herd until the iron is hot.

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

Old Salts, Young Sharpies or "guests"

DETERMINE THE AGES OF OLD SALTS AND YOUNG SHARPIES

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

Wish I could have made this trip. I believe during PUOSU2 they were calling old salts 35 and up. Seems a bit young to me, but that's what it was at the time.

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

Then I must be in the DEAD catagory....

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

OUCH! Cooler trips? yes I will make many (its 12 o'clock somewhere right?) MG is the DD so he will have his rail time for the day.


After how many drinks am I no longer eligible to STEER the boat?

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

Hey Dale Vintastic is also a DOCKBUILDER so you's guy's beware plus I'm bringing anutter dockbuilder so HA:p

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

Watch it Steve..I don't shit where I eat...all in fun (of course)!!

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

Best of luck to you guys! Sounds like it will be a fun filled day.

I look to be back fishing by next weekend. I cut the cast off a few nights ago and started the re-hab process. I can get the thumb in a comfortable position on the Heineken bottle with less pain each day. Since that is my spool thumb I need to put it through a vigorous workout.

Lefty has a better chance of winning the pool if he leaves the cooler at the dock. :p otherwise it's all miller lite's and shop-rite goombah sammiches.

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

:eek: CHECK YOUR KNOTS,NOT ONCE BUT TWICE:eek: CAUSE IM A COMING FOR IT ALL:p

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

2nd place in the pool has to ice down my hernia on the way in.......

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

picked by two to be favored. i don't like that. remember i'm 15 to board. we'll see at the end of the day, but thanks guys:) .jon, sorry you can't make it. hope all is well with you. see everyone in the morning

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

Well think the turnout was better than the fishing today, but that's fishing sometimes. We ran down the beach fished the rough stuff and not much to be had, but a great day none the less with some quality angles and a few new faces. Thanks again Dales, Capt Ron, Robbie, Mike and Chris. Congrats to John H on the heaviest fluke and also Gerry Z for taking down the 50/50. We raised a good amount of dough for a great cause looking forward to this trip every year. Steve you were definitely missed but shirtguy did you a solid, the pics will tell all. Nice meeting Heart-attack, duffman, dockbuilder, G_Dubya and a few others. Have a great weekend, good luck to all those in the shark tourney.

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

Some more of the crew

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

few more

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

Steve in mind body and soul...nothing like taking a leak and having a conversation with Shrimpman. My fishing shirt, and me edging out Duffman on the Starfish Challenge, his unfort took one look at my beast and dropped two legs so I took the title.

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

Last but not least Vintastic and the itchy left palm....and Jack the Mack Truck snapping his rod in half on an ocean cork hook set!

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

You Lie! I know you ripped his legs off!!! :D

I could have not wet a line all day and still had a blast! Some funny stuff for sure.

Shrimpmans pics all over the place and in the head? Creepy or disturbing, I cant decide which?

"this is the spot guys, give it your all"

Trying to punch every short off MG's hook before it got on the deck.

Hammers reaction to Jack sitting on his cooler, Holy $hit I almost cried!!!!!!!!!!!!! :p

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

I was on the road yesterday on the way to florida when I received the first pic of me stuck to the window! My wife and I laughed our butts off! I am sorry I missed the trip, but it is nice to know I was not forgotten! Thanks to the assman (shirtguy) for bringging me along! Hammer told me every time he turned around I scared him. Seriously, its nice to be remembered by this great group of guys!

Well off to the pool, gonna try and fish tuesday out of port canaveral. Report to follow

Re: 2nd Annual NJFishing / SSFFF Flukathon
 

Thanks again Capt. Ron, Dales and everyone else who put the trip together. Great time on the Fishermen yesterday with a great crew as always (Robbie was right there for a few more snags than I would've liked), and nice to meet Gerry, Duffman, MG, and a bunch of other NJfishing members while seeing familiar faces as well.

No shortage of laughs as usual -- Chris telling Ron (Lefty) "this is the spot, try real hard here" one of the many lines that had me laughing all afternoon!!

Dales and John - hope you survived the night bluefish trip if you had the stamina and mako mania went well.

Larry (Hartattack) I'll make sure Sr. us available next time out.

Looking forward to next years trip!! :D

Bill
