Awesome day on the water with all of you, couldn't ask for a better day! Thanks again Dave for putting it all together for us

My first of what I hope will be many more outings with the SSFF group. Excellent day on the water. Great captain and mates. Thanks to all who worked so hard to make this trip a successful one.

By the way, when does the Shrimpman get some love?

To echo all, great to be with so many good people on the water, (-1) Only one complainer, guess who, SS.

As always I enjoy Ron's desire to always try and put us on fish, most of us caught , but we all enjoyed. I spoke to Dave last night, this was the most successful fundraiser to date, so thanks to all who participated, and to all that donated.

The target is now to get the science done, and get it accepted so that we can continue to fish for many more years.

PS to the Prefesser, He is the Rodney Dangerfield of NJ Fishing.

Great day indeed! All of your guys support is unwavering year after year, appreciated and makes any successes going forward possible. I will post the numbers later but can tell it was probably our best $$ fundraiser to date
Thanks Capt, Ron, Mike and Lou for taking care of us all day. The Fishermen is a great platform and Capt / Crew make it even better for a full fishing experience.

Congrats Chris on a fantastic "mat" . well deserved.

Rain stayed away! I am sure Ron was happy with the wind against but yet still managed to put us on some fish. Lots of laughs and just a great day to be out.
Not going to bother with a fishing report as it was your basic Fluke trip with keepers, shorts, and other stuff. Millions (ok couple of hundred) of Rods, gulp, bucktails, bait etc flying but more important great people and that's what I take from these trips. Lots of anglers who deserve caught, and won raffle prizes along with all the "Hey Dave what can I do, pick up or help with" which is amazing. You know who you are. Sponser donators huge! I believe I covered names in previous posts

Also have to add a late mention of Pete @ Atlantic Bait and Tackle. Didn't bother him this trip for a raffle prize as I have so many other trips because I felt he has given so much in the past. So what happens, Joey Z stops in his shop for stuff and Pete donates a very nice tackle Bag. Thanks Pete your the best!

Looks like I may have to keep this tradition going

Complainer? Don't know what that's about. I did complain about my lack of keepers but that was only because Joey and dales both beat me like a red headed stepchild

It was very nice fishing the fishermen. Good to see capt Ron and several old friends.

Only two shorts all day for me. That may explain my crankyness

Congrats to Joey on the 50/50 and other prizes he won. To Larry and cadishack thanks for putting up with me. To everyone se, it is always a pleasure.

Rodney dangerfeild? He's well liked, I guess there could be worse comparisons

What I do know is that when I joined this site in 2008 shrimpy had at least that many posts already and most contained fish reports. so maybe an off year but this man has and can catch with the best.

Ok that cost you another $100.00 as discussed Steve!

[bunker dunker]

the whole day was a win win.congrats on the doormat!!!

First trip with the RFA gang and it was fantastic!
Thanks to Dales for putting this gig together and to Capt. Ron for finding us some fish (I hear that that's rare for an RFA trip). your crew was upbeat and on the ball all day. Special thanks to them!
I scored 2 keepers, 2 open boats, and a Costa gift basket... I'll fish next to Shrimpy every time for a day like that! Met a lot of great people and made a few new friends. Looking forward to the next get together... Art
P.S. Love my new Costas Jamie! Thanks again!
