If it was the 29th to Oct. 1st I'd be in. Unfortunately I can't get 3 days off from work in a row after I take my vacation. :(

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

Yeah, but Peter didn't go offshore... he was more of a flats guy

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

Sounds good. Im in, +1 buddy...

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

Count me in on this

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

the fact that you are makng this trip happen is awesome. Where should i send my check.

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

i would be tentative, just need a break down on what we would be doing.


Also if you look back in the past few years, the best tuna fishing has really been in the july and august time frame, plus a much better shot at getting a 48 hour window of weather IMHO.

Either way should be a good trip, but end of september into october = wind and seas!

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

I wanted to be on this one . I have end of Month at one of my other jobs and can't get out of it . If I was to pick a time to go Offshore for Tuna it would be the last week of Sep. first week of Oct. .

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

Ok guys, call Mary Ann in the Gambler office directly to book your spots.
732-295-7569
Don't delay. Let's fill it up quick and lock it in.
You all know the drill. Boarding and bunk selection will be in booking order.
There are more than enough bunks for all and with 20 guys on the Gambler lots of elbow room for all.

Let's "Getem on the Gambler"!

A big thanks to Captain Bob for offering this one of a kind trip out.

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

I'm in

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

I used to live in NJ, but had to move out to Missouri because of job relocation. You guys have just given me a reason to come back for a week!
I'm IN!!

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

I like this idea but can't swing the time frame this year. I would love to see this get started and maybe become something on this coast. I keep hearing my buddy talk about his long range trips in Cali and how I really gotta go.

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

Should be a good time and good trip...

But fishing in nj, is nothing like fishing in california. There will never be a nj long range fleet, what would we fish for? go offshore, catch yellowfin, longfin, swords at night, mahi and tiles during the day, come inshore and catch some cod and pollock, then inshore for some seabass, finish it off with a little fluking at the rocks and then some blackfishing in 35ft off long branch? lol just breaking ballz guys..

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

ummmmmm YES! could you imagine the Philly bycatch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

California doesn't have 50+lb Yellowfin , Bluefin that you can jig , Night Swords , Mahi , or Big Eye Wolfpacks within 60 - 100 miles . To get away from the line shy live bait only fish California boats have to travel a day or more one way . Having fished on both coasts I like my odds better here . Give me a dumb chunk fish everytime !

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

I think this is great what BB is doing. I've often thought it would be very cool to have some San Diego style long range boats running out of NJ, NY or DE but it sure would be tough in the Fall with the weather we get offshore. I've gotten to the point now where I EXPECT Fall canyon trips to get blown out. :( I fished a full season out of Fishermen's Landing in San Diego and NEVER ONCE had a trip canceled due to weather!! Guess that's why it's called the Pacific...

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

In all the years of fishing out of San Diego I only had one trip canceled due to weather (Seaforth AM halfday) . We fished off the stern of the San Diego in the slip .

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

When Muldune & I did our long range EXCEL 5 day trip, fished the chunk with 30# test, our bluefish rigs...80# rigs on the troll...chunk caught bfts & lfts all 30-40# class fish...not quite like here.

It would be nice, but I don't see a long range fleet here on the East coast...be content knowing you can make at least ONE 48hr trip this year..we might be setting the precedent for the future...Only time will tell!!!
Thanks to Charlie Tuna and Capt. Bogan, we'll git 'er done;) :) Oh yea, check's in the mail for Sept. and for the Oct. trips...

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

I am in, will call tomorrow and pay deposit!!!!

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

That west coast trip was an adventure of a life time.Having talked to ol Pedro before and after the trip he was right on the money what west coast fishing is all about.
Really looking forward doing a 48hr trip trip on the Gambler.Thanks Capt Bob and Charlie Tuna for makeing this happen. :)

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

John , they should call you Mr. Big Eye . You got one on your first try out there . When they get as big as the ones that we have out here they call them Gorilla's . Now you Pioneers go and catch um up ! I'll be there in spirit .

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

Just spoke with Mary Ann --trips is already 1/4 full (that is 5 guys). Don't wait. I like the idea of starting off our canyon season with this trip. We'll be locked and loaded.

Thank you, Charlie for getting this trip off the ground.

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

It was about time someone did a 48hr plus trip!!! I am glad it is on the most comfortable of fishing boats. I could not think of another boat I rather be on for 2 days!!! I can't wait to see the all posts on what gear to bring!!! Holy Sh*t we might need a bigger boat!!!! Look forward to sailing with you soon.

Bc

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

I'm really looking forward to this one. With only 20 guys we'll have plenty of elbow room.

The Gambler's got plenty of room for gear. I'll have 5 or 6 different setups onboard. Gotta be ready for anything. :D

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

You All Know I Am Ready I Might Not Have A Voice Left After This One!!!!!!! Bring It On

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

BC I quite agree...I'll be bringing my usual 80#, 50#, 30# and jigging rods, a couple of trolling lures(green machine, etc).. I'll be tuna jigging under you guys if we have to go pot hopping...and maybe a 'hoo:eek:

Like Keith said, bring it on...

Chucky

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

I am stoked for this one,A little tough getting the days of from work,but made it happen.
Only if the gambler had a hot shower Id stay for a week:) Oh yea a salt water rinse would do. Cant wait

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

John, remember there is one onboard...you can always use the saltwater washdown hose:eek: ;) LOL

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

Picked up one hell of a swordfish outfit today!!!! The damn fish do not stand a chance!!! Now I need to get some swordfish set ups!!! any suggestions??

Re: 2 day NJ offshore adventure can be a reality!
 

I got some swordfish rigs at the NS tackle shop by the Voyager. Good quality crimps on what looks like 300lb leader. They have circle hooks though, which I'm still a little uneasy with.

Haven't had the opportunity to try them out yet.
