Boarding for Ocean Explorer will start at 6:30. You can put your other stuff on board before then, but no rods in any rod holders until your name is called at the dock to board. We will leave as soon as we have everyone on board. Boat leaves no later then 7 no matter who is missing. If you've RSVP to this trip as being in there will be no refunds if we leave without you.

Please try and be early so we get can leave and beat the crowds to the grounds.

For those of you not familiar with how this we run this trip:
- When we announce your name you will be permitted to board and put one rod in a pole holder to reserve your spot. Please store you other rods on the upper deck so they don't take up room or interfere at the rail when we are fishing.
- As you are boarding you will be given a tag with a number on it... Don't loose this tag like of lot of knuckle heads have in the past.
- When we are heading back in, choose one fish, put your tag on it so it will not fall off and walk your fish back of the boat.
- Alex and Cadishackfishing will be officiating the weigh ins and recording the weights.
- Top 20 weights are invited to the final on the Mimi.

One important note here.... If you have a keeper, even if you don't think you are in the top 20, weigh it in... Often times someone who qualifies in the top 20 can't make it for the final on the Mimi, so we work down the list in order of weight.

Please be sure to bring some extra money for 50/50 and a door prize raffles. See Dales on the boat to purchase tickets.

Looking forward to seeing everyone, good luck and thanks for coming out and supporting a great cause.

Sure is Bobby!! Just let everyone know if its one fish takes all, total keepers between the team etc...

So everyone.... Pick a team mate and see Blackfish Bobby on the boat if you want in on this side bet. $50 per team, winners take all.

I have one Rule.... Joey Dah Fish and Sven of the hook have to be separated

Just kidding because you "no" the only way to separate these 2 is with a crowbar

Woke up this morning from a surreal Dream. You would not believe who visited me last night. Our very own beloved LAB. Kind of freaked me out at first but thought it was important to share with you all based on his parting words to me. This is the cleaned up version of how the conversation went.

Lab- Tap on the Shoulder. What's up MVP, I see you have been doing allot of fishing lately. What the F_ck is going on, do you not work anymore.

Alex- Holy shit, what are you doing here. Is this for Real.

Lab- You better believe it Brother I Just thought i would pay you a visit and see how things are going.

Alex- Things are going pretty well. My company is going through a transition which has opened up my schedule. I am kind of a workaholic so i have decided to take this time to committing to putting my time in this year in search of that elusive 20 lb. Tog i have been dreaming about. I will probably not have opportunity like this in the future so i am all in this year.

Lab- I see from your log book that you have been killing it this year?

Alex- What else have you been seeing. You know what i do not even want to know the answer to that one. The year is starting out with a bang as have done 12 trips so far and have caught 116 Keepers. 3 fish have gone over 10 lbs with biggest going 12.7 lbs. All 3 fish were released but the last one did not make it as we tried to revive it but fish came up from deep water and did not survive so it was put to good use in my Tog Chowder.

Lab- Whats with letting all the big fish Go.

Alex- It is my way of paying it forward as i have well over 30 double digits under my belt and i know what a thrill it gives me when i catch a trophy like that. By letting it go it gives anaother angler one day to have opportunity to feel that thrill. For selfish reason i hope the Tog Gods are looking down upon me and will bless me with that 20+ pounder this year for my good deed.

What do you think my chances are this year?

Lab- You have just as much chance as anyone else on the boat that Day. You have put up the big fish 2 of the last 3 years on the OE and seemed to be dialed in this year except for a few clunker days of 3-4 keepers. But guess what MVP what you have done in the past does not mean Shit come saturday. That is why it is called PUOSU. As for your chances this sat it is not happening as you no what they say. Nice guys finish last.

Oh by the way thanks for building me the Grandpa Rod as I would have put allot of fluke to sleep with that beauty. Good luck this Saturday as you are going to need it. Tell Gerry and the guys that i appreciate all they have done for my family.

Alex- With those parting words he was gone and my eyes opened.
I have prayed to god many times to give me a sign and opportunity to speak to a few of my friends or family members that have passed but never expected Lab to be the one to show up. I guess it was his way to let us know that he is looking down upon us whatching are every move.
