4/20 & 4/21 Osprey Blackfish Atlantic City

[fishark531]

A friend of mine is running a trip on my board and since the Osprey is a sponsor here I thought I would help him fill the trip. The note below from my friend Bill

He is a real good guy and anyone that signs up I wll get you payment info if and when trip is sold out

For anyone anxiously awaiting a great charter right around the corner here’s one for you. I’ve got the Osprey chartered in Atlantic City for spring blackfishing on Friday April 20 and Saturday April 21. Here are the details.

Fare and headcount for both days will be 15 people at $130 a head plus me. I will not be paying a fare on these 2 trips unless we’re short a guy and I’ll come in at #15. As usual, the fare includes tackle if needed, bait and fish cleaning. I HAVE NOT included a tip for the Osprey's crew but we all know how they go all out for us every time and here’s a chance to show our appreciation. Sail time to be determined as we get closer to the trips. If you’re interested you can sign up for either or both days.

We’ll start a wait list once we fill the spots for either day. Plus ones are welcome, but the member bringing a plus is responsible for his guest’s obligation. Payment arrangement will be made when we have a full load.

Hi All

Hope you can join us on these trips, or either one. The spring bite should be in full swing by then and let's hope Capt. JP can duplicate his catches from last year with several double digit blackfish.

Bill

[Gremlin2009]

[fishark531]

Dear Mr Gremlin and others this trip needs lots of help to get it going. Will give it PROBOBLY 2 or 3 more weeks to fill

That's great Dan, thank you

We've got 9 for Friday so far. Just a few more and we're sailing. The boat did well last spring with some big fish in the mix. With the weather warming and almost 2 months to sail time it's looking good.

We need more people to get this trip going

[Gremlin2009]

[Ice Cream Bill]

Hi Gremlin,

Sat trip ? I can meet you at Cheesquake Rest stop in Sayreville on GSP South if you’re coming over the Outbridge Crossing. PM me with contact info.

[mickiebelle]

Morning All

As of now we have 10 signed up for Friday and 7 for Saturday. We're gonna have to fill these trips soon to keep them viable. We can't have the boat hold these days for us much longer. You guys from this site have added a bunch to these trips and I hope you can spread the word. I've fished the Osprey many times and the captains are truly committed to giving us our best shot to catch a few. If we do go you'll see what I mean. Let's get some more to go!!

Just verifying that I have 3 total b/c I see my name on 3 lines. Myself +2.

[fishark531]

Fishhead your in for a totol of 3 spots

[mickiebelle]

Double hooks good for whole crab baits large enough to accommodate them or on broken bottom. In sticky bottom though, twice the chance of getting hung up or worse, hook into a fish then the free hook gets snagged. Single hooks a bit of an advantage there but check your bait frequently as you may have been cleaned off without realizing it. Bring both singles and doubles.

[Gremlin2009]

Anymore spots for the 21st ?

[fishark531]

Anymore spots for the 21st ?

How many do you need I will check with Bill

[Gremlin2009]

Just one. Wife said I can do the double

[mickiebelle]

Just one. Wife said I can do the double

You got it Dom. We now have 14 for the 21st and that trip is a go. The 20th looks like it will go as well; I'll speak to the Capt and post an update in a few days.

[fishark531]

Bill I just added Ron Romano from Fishark site for this trip for 21st

[mickiebelle]

Here are updated rosters. Payment info for the 21st will follow in a day or so. Please post if you're interested; we can easily get another body or two on the trips - this is a big boat.

Hi Guys - haven't heard from JP yet but I'll reach out to him Mon or Tues for payment info.
I haven't been as active on the boards as I usually am, I'm an accountant working 7 days a week til April 17; I am off tomorrow though for Easter
Be back to you soon.

[mickiebelle]

Been in touch with the folks on the Osprey. They're setting up a separate payment link for each day so everyone signed up can go online and pay the boat directly. As soon as they iron out the wrinkles I'll send pm's to all with the link to pay. Should be later today. After you pay please reply to my pm letting me know you're paid and your name so the Osprey can confirm payments.

Thanks

[mickiebelle]

Did you guys get my pm yesterday?

[GeorgeM]

Just saw your pm I will make payment after work today

[mickiebelle]

Just saw your pm I will make payment after work today

Does anyone have information on getting whitleleggers for this trip ?
I also sent a note to the boat asking if they will supply whites for our trip.
