Dave count me in I will pay at the boat if that is okay.

Made a few calls last night and the feedback was def positive, these clowns are probably better suited for a bar crawl than a fishing fund raiser, so def no pressure on biggest fish if these goons show up. Looks like so far at least 3 more, maybe 4-5 so we are definitely inching up to the magic 40 number. I'll keep pluggin away until next weekend, but I gotta imagine there are a few more lurkers out there that need to get off their AZZ and make it down to Capt Ron's Flounder Fantasia "aka get drunk catch fish n be merry" next Sat.

C'mon people just a few more days - every little bit helps!!

[dales529]

Couple of things:
1) Lefty (Ron): Great job recruiting, I smell a passing of the torch next year
2) Tropics: As discussed on the phone paying at the boat is fine.

3)Anyone who wants to "walk-on" just CALL, POST HERE or PM to CONFIRM your spot and pay CASH at the boat.
NOTE: With a week to go all unpaid balances and walk-on fares must be CASH. Same goes for the boat and fundraiser pool(s). Thanks

Paying your deposit and "confirming" your spot means you are IN, therefore you are expected to show, if NOT or any last minute changes please fill your spot with someone who will pay the balance. we need everyone on the list.

PS: Not sure what yet but I will be doing something "extra" for those that signed up early and paid the deposit upfront. Only seems fair.

Body count nearing the "out of critical condition" and could be upgraded to stable but we still need more.
Fluke action picking up everyday! Lets get to our target this week!!!

4) Kudos to Pete from Atlantic Highlands Bait and Tackle. Spoke with him today and asked for the trip brochure to be put out in his shop. Not only did he comply but offered free ICE for all going on the trip morning of. Extremely knowledgeable and very nice guy. Sponsor shop, stop in for your ice and maybe even buy a little something.

5) ShirtGUY: Thinking maybe a Banner "RFA / SSFFF Supporters" type thing. lets discuss. I need to make sure its OK with Capt Ron beforehand.

6) Henry (jakesdad) was kind enough to offer the "Pool Winner T shirt" Yes its extra large.

7) Also big Thanks to Capt Bob Morrell SHCA for his help making contact with soldiers who may be interested in fishing with us. No firm response yet BOB but it is enlightening going through the process and I hope some of the guys take us up on the offer. I commend you on the work you do for them.

More to come this week. Getting down to the pre-trip fun stuff I hope.

YOU can not be forgotten!
Some things that may be said:
1) SSHHH Sam the Sinkerman thinks you are going.
2) Wow its 3 AM and the stern and pulpit are still available.
3) Something smells different on the boat today. I actually smell FLUKE bait.
4) Why doesnt Steve go to Florida in the winter like the rest of us.

Things you wont hear:
1) Damit another hang up on da rocks, I only brought 500 bucktails!
2) I never win anything.
3) Stay outta my Shrimp Lefty
4) Chris, NET, NET, NET, Never mind its the bottom

Seriously, you will be missed, it will take a few guys to pick up the slack without your presence. Thanks for mentioning the trip again

[Dave A]

Dave, I want to personally thank you for once again helping the SSFFF raise money for our current projects and future ones as well. Not only that but thank you for helping spread the "word". We as fishermen are all in this mess together and you realize that and also realize the fact that we all need to be involved. I wish the trip was sold out but understand that many have to work and economic times are difficult. However, I commend all those attending and would like to offer the following incentive: a limited edition (only 10 made) Guy Harvey giclee for the largest fluke caught and a new rod and reel for the largest legal fluke caught by anyone 16 and younger.

[hartattack]

T minus 5 days & counting - NICE, can't wait.

Dave A - - Thanks for the added incentives. I know Guy HArvey but never heard of a giclee until I googled it - Sweet !! Hope we do have some < 16's as guests on Sat..

DALES - - I know we have a pre-set boarding order, but what time do we actually board ?

Looking forward to a great one !!
