29 Spots Left Folks. Let's Get Em.

[Ryan W]

Actually only got 27 spots left! Still plenty of room for you and all of your guests! PM me if you've got any questions or to sign up- I'll get back to you ASAP.

Edit: 20 spots left at this point, only 5 bunks.

This will be a good trip. Just need to pray for weather. Fresh bait, lots of room and a fast smooth ride to the offshore wrecks.

A few tips:
Jig master to 4/0 size reel --preferably spooled with 40 to 60lb braid
A short length of broom handle or something to break off braid if (when) it gets stuck in the wreck.
6.5 or longer 30 to 40lb class rod
If you have an extra rod and reel, bring it and stow it in our overhead holders.
12 and 16 oz sinkers
Simple 2/0 or 3/0 size sea bass rigs --2 hooks are enough (I will have rigs and sinkers on board if needed.) Best to have extras ready to go nearby.
A good pair of needle nose pliers with cutter
A rag for your hands
Personally, I don't like to wear thick gloves. A cheap pair of brown cotton gloves, even if they get damp, will keep your hands warm. They are easy to take off and you can throw them away at the end of the day.
The galley will be open for fresh hot food and beverages or you can bring your own. There is a microwave on our counter for anyone who wants to heat up their food.
Bring a sleeping bag and a bed roll if you have it.
Dress in layers and wear boots,

This will be a good trip with good company

Thanks for the tips capt. I was going to put up something, but you beat me to it .

I personally don't use the broom handle for my braid. I just point the rod tip to the bottom and reel until the line gets tight and pull upwards to bust out- no stretch capabilities of the braid take the snag right out. A broom handle could work well though.

Feel free to PM me for help.

The trip has been MOVED to saturday. We will leave at 1 AM, starting boarding at 12:01 AM SATURDAY, and will return 18 hrs later, at about 7-8 PM saturday, before the nasty weather arrives. Anyone on the original list will get first crack at the spots. If you can still go, give me a call on my cell 732-977-5944 and I will save your spot for you. Otherwise, you will be bumped at 7 PM friday night. We need 25 guys by 7 PM friday to pull this off. If we can't get 25, we won't be able to go (we have like 12 who can go right now). If you would like to go, call me on my cell or shoot me a PM and I will add you to the boarding list.

My phone will be off tomorrow during the day. Either PM me or call me and let me know:

1) How many people
2) Name
3) PHONE NUMBER TO CALL YOU BACK AT

Trip rules will remain the same. People will board in order of contact position to me, preference given to those who have contacted earlier (originally booked for the sunday date). Bunks go to first 20.

It will be CASH AT THE BOAT (please have exact change). Make SURE you can go before calling. If you say you're coming and don't, something horribly bad will happen to you (use your imagination to figure out what - just kidding).

If you want OUT and were in for sunday, just PM me and I'll work something out to get everyone their money back, but it will have to wait until after the trip.

Forecast is:

NW TO N WINDS 10 KT BECOMING NE. SEAS 2 TO 4 FT.


Who wants to try for a double bagout?
