Re: Puosu 5
 

Had a good time today, good people, great food and i put on a clinic on how not to put a keeper in the boat. Those falafal things were really good and i am glad to place faces with names.

Hope next week goes well and the fishing and weather improves

Re: Puosu 5
 

Well Mike good job!! I put 2 keepers on but small. I pull snag and grab a lot too :) snag a rock and grab a new rig lol. As the trip implies now I have to shut up :( best of luck to all you great fisherman next week!!! Yes that includes my a**hole brother love you man!!!!!!

Re: Puosu 5
 

Great day to meet some board members! Weather was cold and raw but good enough to drink some brew. Like Labinski said slow bites around the boat ,good bottom though,OceanEx and crew run a great operation!! I think the flurry of fish came on the third Stop? Mrod got a good one then I rolled A slob:rolleyes: then hooked up with my 5/7. when I got that fish I turned and looked to see Hurricane Stellios come and part the crowd from the starboard side,followed by Seasoda Chad and a few more! I thought the boat was going to flip with the jail break of anglers coming to mug the bite. Good day good fun on to next week.Already got the go from the bride:D Mike so I'll see you in a week!

Re: Puosu 5
 

some NOTABLE PULLERS missing from this list.......just sayin...

Drew (ismellfishy)- ATTABOY!

Re: Puosu 5
 

Great time guys. Mike you always put together a great trip. Its nice to get out and be a customer once in a while. Good food and great boat. Just couldn't get the right bite. It's alllllll goooooood! Good luck next week guys.

Re: Puosu 5
 

What the heck Clamstrings?? You let me down! skunked??????

Re: Puosu 5
 

Excellent job putting this together Mike. Had a great time meeting everyone and shooting the breeze. Plenty of food to go around and of course the Golden Monkeys were the best.

Couldn't make it to the next round as I couldn't even catch a cold today but fun times anyway. Congrats to all who go onto the Mimi. A couple of pics from the stern. I should've taken more pictures as I couldn't even buy a decent hit to swing at today :(

Re: Puosu 5
 

Mike great job putting this trip together and running it. Tough day in general but it was good seeing some guys I knew and meeting some I didn't .Sucks I can't make next week. But good luck to everyone .Ralph

Re: Puosu 5
 

Another great trip Mike. Show them how it is done next weekend.

Re: Puosu 5
 

lol

See you Sunday, white slickers and all!

Re: Puosu 5
 

glad to hear you guys made the best with the tough bite. got my $ on my big brother Stelly next week. wish i coulda been there boys

Re: Puosu 5
 

Fun trip as usual LAB. Thanks to all that brought food, crabs and anything else that was on board.

Good luck next week fellas.

Re: Puosu 5
 

you KNEW I could catch stripers, but you didnt know I could also catch some blackfish did ya Bill....

Big thanks to Mike for putting this whole shabang together. Lookin forward to taking the hat home along with high hook honors as well, again...

damn stelly I hadnt seen a mugging like that since I visited the confines of Temple University haha, but u put on a clinic on how to do it right!

lot of great peeps on board as it was nice to put some faces to names. best of luck to all competitors next week!!

hope the food and drink comes close to what it was today!

Re: Puosu 5
 

PA beer rules!!~!:cool:

Re: Puosu 5
 

Fun Time for sure! fishing was a little tough but the company was great!

Good food, good boat and crew, and I even had a beer!

It is ALWAYS a pleasure fishing with Lefty, GerryZ and brother Joe, and all of the other charicters on this board (too numorous to mention)! It was even nice fishing with LAB:)!

Started the day with a controversial keeper, but it was 15 inches! I figured to avoid any problems I would go ahead and catch another right away @ 16 inches. First keeper settled:p :D! Unfortuatly that was the best flurry I had all day:o. I did manage one more fish late that tied me up with Mr. Wells for a shot at the title. I think he made the right call including both of us for the final next week:D!

Looks like another double for me, as I am on the mimi saturday as well! Better start looking for a room now. See you guys next week!

Thanks to everyone for making it a very enjoyable day!







LAB, thanks for putting it all together.

Re: Puosu 5
 

Had a great time on the Ocean Explorer as always, LAB did a nice job organizing the event. The fishing may not have been the best but the entertainment between drops was second to none and I met a bunch of really good guys that I look forward to fishing with again. Hope to be able to make the Mimi trip next Sunday.

Re: Puosu 5
 

9.5%, gotta love it, and I don't drink! I had two and it was enough for me!

Re: Puosu 5
 

A great time for sure. LAB certainly is the Charter Master. Everything was well organized and went off with out a hitch. Got to love seeing him step up on the coolers barking orders and hurling insults. I think he must have been a drill Sargent in a former life, no megaphone needed. Great job Mike. Not sure anyone could pull these things off the way you do.

The food and grog were only surpassed by the company. Great to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones too. The OE team was awesome as usuall... Had us on the sticky stuff all day and Captain Bobby even gave me some personal rig tying pointers after seeing the ghetto rig I had tied on.

We probaly hit 5 different places ranging from 110 feet to 50 feet but the fish were very picky. Seems like the best action came on the next to the last drop when the port bow monkies had a flurry of action and put on a mugging clinic...

All in all a great trip with a great group of guys.

Congrats to all those who qualified for the final.

and the BBTT crew... A long day for Thing 1 and Thing 2....zzzzzzzzzzz

Re: Puosu 5
 

Congrats to everyone making the cut for next week. I was not fortunate in the quest for the hat. I got the doughnut, nada... zip, zilch, the ole skunkaroo, but not for lack of trying. Had a fun time anyway.

Re: Puosu 5
 

Paypal again for the second trip? Whats the odds this time around ? Quite a few pullers in the bunch. Gonna be interesting.

Re: Puosu 5
 

Hey Gerry Z........Did you tell him to ask this ???????????

Gerry Z says ..... Mike, I'm insulted and hurt that you would think I put him up to this :rolleyes:


Here's a paragraph from the FIRST post in THIS thread...

The anglers that catch the fifteen (15) heaviest fish are then invited to fish the following Sunday 12/16 on The Mimi. Cost is $100; includes fare, tip and white-leggers. POOL WILL BE EXTRA AND WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE TIME WE SAIL ON THIS TRIP. The angler who catches the heaviest fish on THIS TRIP will win THIS TRIP'S pool and will be crowned PUOSU 5 Champion.





CASH @ the boat. ONE $100 BILL! Bring a $20 for the pool!

Listen to the new guy calling The House, looking for odds. Ha ha ha. YOURS just went up!

That PUOSU 5 Hat is Giant's colors and you look like a Beagle's fan to me!

Re: Puosu 5
 

Great trip you put together LAB, had a great time good people good boat. :D :D . maybe next year i'll at least get a keeper. :)

Re: Puosu 5
 

Like always I had a great time fishing with all you guys...Good luck to everyone this weekend...Heres some pics!

Re: Puosu 5
 

I usually dont like to talk smack just out fish like i did. New guy lol ive actually caught upwards of 20 double digits last winter alone all on ur crabs!! Thanks sport!! Ive seen one of ur crabs catch a 20 plus pound pig. I personally seen 4 twenty plus pound tog caught. Not by accident im on those trips for a reason. The pullers know me. Not bad for a first trip. Im just gettin warmed up.

Re: Puosu 5
 

Ill be there and wear some giants colors for ya. Im insulted u thought i was an eagles fan. Thats messed up. Almost as bad as be called a jets fan.

Re: Puosu 5
 

Many thanks to Lab for organizing and for Capt Bobby and crew for their A effort as usual. No one does a better job then Capt Bobby in describing the layout of the piece he is fishing. Definetly helps angler visualize the layout of the structure below which helps put together game plan and finding the bite. Met some great new friends that i look forward to fishing with in the future. Pool fish went 7.9 lbs on certified scale back at home. Found 2 hook slider rig in its belly with half a white with one bent 4/0 hook. He was not so lucky this time around. Looking forward to fishing next week with great group of fisherman.

Congrats on winning the $$! That's amazing what you found in its belly! Dennis

Re: Puosu 5
 

I would love to see the snell and leader on that rig. We fished that spot several times this season and broke some nice fish off there including Sunday. Congrats again on nice fish and taking the first round.

Re: Puosu 5
 

Hey bobby it was not one of your rigs as i fish the same rig you guys fish and not the traditional belmar rig with snelled hook. The loop o the snell is what failed.

Looked like snelled leader was on 50 lb test clear mono snelled to 4/0 gami with 4/0 gami slider. The slider was bent. After my CSI review of the evidence this is my conclusion. Fish ate white legger and took angler into the structure or ledge. Slider hook became stuck as angler tried to get fish out slider hook opened up and snelled hook broke at the perfection loop.

Re: Puosu 5
 

I'll be bringing BBQ Pulled Pork and Potato Buns, Dr Pepper (the real one) and ice.

MVP..........PLEASE don't jinx us and bring us to put in cooler for fillet bags again this week. BTW.....the mates LOVED you dumping the cooler in the middle of the deck as everyone was exiting the boat. LMFAO........Bobby got a shovel and pushed it thru the scuppers.

Re: Puosu 5
 

That was a total waste and a bad move dumping on deck as I should have thought that through. Cooler will not leave my truck this time.

Dennis you should have made a appearence for this years PUOSU. You would have a great time and have very good odds as you have caught your share of big fish. Enclosed is picture of final resting place of that fish. Tried a new way of cooking whole fish thanks to simple recipe i got from Andrew Donaldson. Kosher salt encrusted blackfish. Cover the entire fish both top and bottom in Kosher salt egg white mixture. Put it in 400 degree oven for an hour on 5 lb fish. Add 10 minutes for every pound over. It forms a hard crust that locks in all the juices. Took it to my parents house tuesday night and it was a big hit. Nothing goes to waste. When I get some time i am going to do a Utube video with 2 assistants wearing bikinis with a step by step tutorial on how fish is prepared and cooked. :D
Hope to see you down south this winter.

Thanks for the invite, maybe next year. Will Stelly be in your Video too? lol Alex got a 14 and a 10 on the Porgy yesterday. It seems the Cape May reef is finally coming alive since Sandy. Dennis

Re: Puosu 5
 

Looking forward to the video.
Good luck Sunday.

Re: Puosu 5

Great fish Saltlife! Good luck on Sunday

Re: Puosu 5
 

I could be considered a prime suspect on that one! They always break at the loop for me, thought that was a good thing.....

Re: Puosu 5
 

ODDS tomorrow


Nice Fish Saltlife............but YOU have shot your load..........LONG ODDS; plus you fished with hacks (Blackfish Doug)


Stellie fished on Fish Monger today and caught fish. He talked all day about how it's OVER and he's a LOCK to win Sunday. He went as far to say that since the PUOSU 5 hat is Giant's colors.........he's gonna win it and take a dump in it.

IF......... and that's a big if you finally manage to compete in a forum other than a 6 pack charter........I'll have a DULL-US Cowgirls colors PUOSU 5 hat made just for you. FAT CHANCE!

someone left a small tackle bag (yellow CAT) on the OE sunday.........see pic

Re: Puosu 5
 

Dennis,

Stelli will not be in the video as he is spoken for so I do not want to corrupt him with some bikini babes.

Kurtis,

Thanks for the good wishes. Hope to fish with you again this winter as you are a true gentelman and an excellent angler as you showed on earlier trip we had this year on the Mimi.

Salt life,

Nice fish today on the Explorer. I had one that broke the 8 lb mark today out of Barnegat. 13.4 lb fish was also caught by my friend so there are some big fish to be had this weekend. You keep the hope alive for the Young Guns.

Reefsquater,

In regards to your mention of breaking off at loop of your snelled hooks all the time. I think i know what might be happening that is causing your breakoffs. A comen mistake when attaching snelled hook to main line is angler running snelled hook through loop and then cinching down on main line rather than attaching snelled loop to main line in a loop to loop manner as to avoid line from cinching on itself which is causing the break.
