Lab Memorial - Puosu Vi

[Gerry Zagorski]

MVP and I are going to be running this year’s PUOSU in memory of LAB and will be donating all the proceeds to the family. We are going to take some cues from how the Charter Master and Equal Opportunity Offender himself would have run this. If you don’t have thick skin I suggest you sit it out on the side lines. If you are in, prepare to get abused and take it like a man.

The Rules:
-If you have to ask what PUOSU or LAB is, you have either been living under a rock or you’re not a true NJFer.. Stay home you ain’t coming on this trip. If you ask on this thread you are out.

-If you ask questions already covered in this thread you are out too, SO READ THIS CAREFULLY.

-Format this year is same as last. If you don’t like it tough! If you have any suggestions keep them to yourself or feel free to run your own trip.

-Fare for each trip is $125. That includes fair, tip, bait (geens / whiteleggars) and pool. Any money's left over will be donated to the family. Pay Pal is preferred for the Ocean Explorer trip but if you have to be a pain in the a$$ and can’t figure out Pay Pal, go ahead and write a check..Paypal address is njfishing@aol.com (njfishing@aol.com) send it as a gift not payment for services. Make sure to include your screen name in the comments section.

-Mailing address if you want to send a check is NJfishing.com (NJfishing@aol.com)17 Montview Road Edison NJ 08837. Make sure and put your screen name on the check.

-1st trip is on the Ocean Explorer in Belmar on Sunday, 12/8/13 and will be limited to 40 people. This is first come first served so no wining if you get shut out. We will keep a short waiting list in case someone drops out. To hold a spot reply to this thread and indicate how you will make payment.

-Payment is due to me for the Ocean Explorer trip by 12/1/13 or you are out and your spot will be turned over to the alternate list hacks.... We aint tawking post marked here... It's got to be in my hand.

-Only one registration per person and that person must be a member of this site with a least 25 posts. Don’t even ask if you can register someone else PERIOD!

-All past PUOSU winners are automatically granted a spot on the Ocean Explorer. If they decide not to come we will abuse them and give their spots to some other internet hero hacks.

-2nd trip will be for the people with the 20 heaviest Blackfish on the Ocean Explorer will be invited to fish the following Sunday, 12/15/13 on the MIMI and compete for the 2013 PUOSU VI crown. We will also keep a short waiting list in case a few of the hen pecked winners wives won’t let them fish 2 weekends in a row. So make sure and weigh your fish even if you think you don’t have a shot at the final 20.

-Boarding order for the Ocean Explorer trip will be the past PUOSU winners first, followed by remaining members in order of reservation.

-Boarding for the MIMI will be by heaviest to lightest fish from the Ocean Explorer trip.

-Payment for Mimi trip $125 will be made at the boat. If you say you’re coming, you better be there.

This ain’t no flag football game, its full contact. You can pick your spot but while we are fishing it’s every man for himself. Mugging, skating, bullying are encouraged and to be expected.

All updates with boarding order and payments will be made on this thread so be sure and stay tuned here.

Cancellations for weather will be made at the captain’s discretion and refunds will be issued if we don’t sail. Check back on this post the night before or morning of to get cancellation updates.

Here is the post from last year’s PUOSU to get your juices flowing:

Alex and I will be coordinating some door prizes raffles and all proceeds will be donated to the family. If you would like to donate a door prize towards the cause, please email Gerry at njfishing@aol.com (njfishing@aol.com)

If you can not make trip and still want to make donation to the family please send donation through paypal as stated above.

Everyone is on their own for food and drink. If you‘d like to bring something for the group you are more than welcome to Post it here so we know who is bringing what.

As you can see by his initial post Gerry has channeled his inner LAB.
LAB would have bumbed you of the list for not following initial rules no questions asked. I will be a little more forgiving but want to keep the LAB edge in place. Need to have a minimium of 25 post in order to get on trip. I suggest you comment somewhere to get your post up to a least 25 as per rules.

[Ismellfishy]

Unfortunately I can not make this trip as I can not gaurantee being able to make both sundays so ill leave the spot open. man im gonna miss out.

Gerry did a wonderful job of channeling his inner LAB, keep it going. Cant wait to hear the odds:D

Somehow I feel there should be a spot left open in the port stern....

[Foul Hook]

Count me in Gerry. Thanks F.H.

[Rob B]

Do not fear the waiting list. If you still want in we will put you on waiting list. As date approaches unfortunetly life always gets in the way for some of us and member may not be able to make trip. We will then work off the waiting list to fill these spots. If you can not make it feel free to make donation as all monies will be going to a great cause. Details on how to make donations are on first page.

I have a nice custom conventional with Shimano TLD 50 with 80 lb test that will be perfect to get those big fish off the wreck before they rock you up that you can borrow. If you prefer a longer rod with more sensitive tip I have a nice 10 ft. surf rod. :D

If you are serious I will hook you up. Just tell me what type of rod you like to fish and I will see what I can put together

[Taxman]

I need to drop

Give Bobber my spot if he is not yet on, he deserves it

Thank you sir. Just joking though:D my only reel issue is deciding which set up to bring, thanks to Mr Bogan , cape fear, and Shakespeare ...

[MVP]

Now that we have roster pretty much set for 12/8 trip on OE I want to start focusing my efforts on door prizes from sponsors and others as well as donations from members who can not make the trip but still want to contribute. If you are looking to donate a door prize to be raffled please either contact myself (MVP), Gerry or just post on this site with your Name (Screen Name) with description of your donation. We will keep a list of your name and door prize or donation listed on the first page of this post.
To get things started I will be donating a rod I had built for Lab that I was going to present to him at this years PUOSU to thank him for all he has done it putting these events together for us over the past 5 years. I remember him always talking about this old fiberglass rod with wood handle that he bought at a flea market for like 10-15 bucks that he use to catch a ton of fluke on. He loved this rod so much he had a name for it: GRANDMA. I purchased a rod over the winter which I thought was a Harnell. Nice wood handle with deep bend. Guides were all beat up but rod had a real nice feel to it and reminded me of GRANDMA rod he use to speak about so fondly. After I stripped it down and sanded down blank I found that it was not a Harnell but an old Fenwick that I am very fond off. I had it rewrapped old style thread with updated Titanium guides. The rod came out beautifully as I am sure he would have loved it. I may have to fish it at least once on the trip to give it some good LAB mojo before it goes to a new home.
I am also working on getting white leggars donated for both trips. Can not promise this yet but it is in the works through friend of mine who knew LAB. This will save us around 300 – 400 bucks that can go right to the family. My goal is to raise at least $3000 bucks during this event so I am asking for everyone to step up to the plate and give what you can as I am sure it will be greatly appreciated. Many of you who work at big corporate companies may want to ask your employer to match your donation as we will also list the companies name on the front page list. We are off to a great start so lets keep the momentum going.

[Gerry Zagorski]

Oooooooooh - I want dat.

Nice of you to donate that Alex. I'm sure that rod is going to have some good mojo on it. One keeper per trip. A "LAB LIMIT" :)

Alex,

I will donate a pair of Costa Del Mar Sunglasses valued up to $279.00 from Eyes on First Ave. It would probably be best for the winner to come to the store to try on the glasses and pick out what they want versus me just picking out a pair. I can give you a gift certificate that says it is for a pair of Costa's if that would work. I can mail it to you or you could stop by the store to pick it up. Please let me know what works best for you.

I will bring my Mickey pole and some bobbers and show you how it's done!!! Let the games begin please. LAB would have wanted it that way!!!

I will bring my Mickey pole and some bobbers and show you how it's done!!! Let the games begin please. LAB would have wanted it that way!!!


Ok Joey you asked for it. Be careful what you wish for. I normally do not like to talk SMACK as I normally let my cooler at the end of the day do my speaking for me most of the time. I have not fished with you but I will be happy to give you a blackfishing spanking you will not forget on 12/8. The only thing I am worried about is that you may like that kind of thing.:eek:
I will even hook them and pass the rod to you so you can feel what a keeper feels like. :D

So True. You may want to ask Larry if you can join team Blind Squirrel.

[Joey Dah Fish]

I can't associate with the likes of them :eek: I will prevail on my own merits and skills or cry like a little girly man if I come up short!!:D

[hartattack]

I can't associate with the likes of them. . .

That's harsh NANCY :p

[Gerry Zagorski]

Hmmmm - seems like the throw down has been made. How many on the Blind Squirrel team on this trip Larry?

A little face off and side bet against Team Flying Zagorski Brothers ?? We can make it total number of keepers perhaps ??

[Gerry Zagorski]

This brings back some memories from a past PUOSU trip....

Had a side bet with LAB... Who ever caught the smaller fish had to write the following when any questions about Blackfishing were asked on the board for one year.

" If you want to know anything about Blackfishing you will have to ask Gerry because he is a much better Blackfisherman than me, I suck"

Man I could imagine how much it pained him to type those words and the guys here rode him like a broken bike asking all sorts of questions about blackfishing...

A man of his word Mike typed this in many times that year... Funny though, that on the aniversary date, he went back in and deleted every post.

Miss that guy, especially with this trip coming up... Mike was one of the few that could work a croud on a boat. He'd make a stop in your area, throw some insults your way and head off to another part of the boat were more laughter would errupt.

Never minded being the brunt of LABS jokes. He was an equal opportunity offender. The more he liked you the more he'd bust you.

[Gerry Zagorski]

Any other team challengers amongst you hacks??

Jamie
Thank you so much for the kind offer. I was at the store yesterday as I was in the area and just wanted to stop bye and say hi. Unfortunately I stopped on your day off. I will send you a pm with my address so you can mail out to me. Once again thanks you for all you do for njfishing members and your community. You truly provide exceptional customer service to your clients that is greatly appreciated
Alex

Your welcome Alex and Gerry! Sorry I missed you the other day Alex. I will mail the Gift Certificate out to you today. I feel a tremendous amount of support from the NJFishing.com community so I am always happy to show my support especially when it is for such a good cause. Thank you for the opportunity. Plus I am loving the trash talk, very entertaining!:D

[dales529]

Gerry,
Looks like just Larry and myself from Team Blind Squirrel (who by the way took some money at the Elks!!) but sure Larry will agree with me and take on your BET.


“In every species of fish I’ve angled for, it is the ones that have got away that thrill me the most, the ones that keep fresh in my memory. So I say it is good to lose fish. If we didn’t, much of the thrill of angling would be gone.” Ray Bergman

All this time I thought Joey da Fish wrote this with a little help from brother Geddy:D

Elks - Smelks - It's on and you guys are going down!!

2 person teams.... Who else wants in??


- Most keepers caught by each 2 man team

- In the event of a multiple team 2 man limit, tie breaker will be 2 heaviest fish.

- $50 per team winner take all

- At end of trip on the boat, all losers will have to get on their knees, bow to the wining team and exclaim " We are not worthy to be in your presence oh great ones.... We suck" Should be a nice photo and video opp :eek: Get your knee pads ready!!

Will keep teams here in this thread

- Flying Zagorski Brothers (Gerry and Joey Dah Fish)
- Blind Squirrel (Dales and Hartattack)
- Team UB (FinS and Boston Pete) Now there's a pair that beats 3 of a kind (they scratched)
- Beer Batterd Shrimp (Lefty Reeler and Shrimpman Steve)
- Scotch In The Rocks (ReelRon and Riverbassfishing)
- Stixum Fish (dfish28 and darrenflynn)
- Sleeping Giants (Stelios and Baccala)
- Wrecking Crew (MVP and Toggie Time)

Who else is going to man up??

Ahhhhem - Did you bother to read the first post Polish Puller :confused:

Team Murragu don't have a chance unless we do a Skate pool :D

You "no" Murr is going to be fishing with clams all day looking for trash fish for his Phillyroad kill fish stew.

Nothing from Shirmpy yet either.... Hmmmmmmmm

[Gerry Zagorski]

Total number of keepers...Haha thats a good one. You guys better counts shorts or there will not be a winner.

Hmmm - Now you're tawkin some trash Kurtis... Are you gonna field a team or what?? PUOSU ;)

[M Rod]

Would everybody be interested in a 10 dollar double digit pool. Winner takes half the pool and the other half goes to mikes family. No double digit fish then the biggest fish takes its weight in percentage of half the pot. For instance a 7 pounder would take 70 percent of half the pot and the 30 percent would go towards mikes family in addition to half the pot.

[Joey Dah Fish]

You tell them Geddy I'm to pissed so I have to change my diaper now!! I'm all in!!! We'll kick their asses back so far they will wake up during the Kennedy years!!

[shrimpman steve]

I was avoiding getting involved with your childish wagers, but now that I have been called out I am announcing the team of lefty and shrimp.

Just an FYI. The current trip at 125 per person includes everything including pool. If M Rod runs $10 dollar double digit pool mentioned that will be totally separate from the original pool that everyone is entered into automatically

If the extra pool helps the Family I'm down.

Does anybody have any input on tackle and or rigs I should bring on this trip.

[Gerry Zagorski]

Big long surf pole, some split shots, a bobber and 8 lb test for leaders :D

All kidding aside, you want a conventional rod/reel stiff enough to fish 4-8 ounces, strung with 30 - 50 pound braid, some 40 to 50 pound leader material and sinkers ranging from 4 to 10 ounces. All the rest including instructions on tying rigs you can get while on the boat.

Lookin forward to vindication this year. Goin for five for five in the qualifying round. And I'll swing that hammer enough times to build a house:eek: :D

[Gerry Zagorski]

I have never missed a cut. Four for four baby. And we all know what would have happened last year if my fish was not accidentally bled by our little buddy:D , god rest his soul!

Hmmm - there were 5 trips :rolleyes:

You shouda seen the look on LABS face when he found those bananas Shrimpy dropped into his bag. You coudah fried and egg on his head. The Charter Master went totally ballistic and banned him the following year.

[shrimpman steve]

He chased me around the boat that day, will never forget it. Well worth the one year banishment :eek:

[Gerry Zagorski]

Just saw this breaking news report on TMZ. Rumor has it that new team is being formed to fish the PUOSU VI out of Belmar NJ on the Ocean Explorer on 12/8/13. Reports are coming in that two NJfishing members have been hitting local boats from SI down to Barnegat sharpening there skills for this historic event and putting together some impressive catches even on days when fish are not chewing. We have photographs on file of new two member team having dinner at secret location in Brooklyn with marketing mogul Jay Z who has been working to bring this two many team together in Blockbuster deal not seen since the Hershel Walker trade in the late 80's. Negotiations have been difficult as these two sharpies like to fly under the radar and let their catching do the talking for them. Being the event is for a good cause and both were friends with Lab they are thinking of getting together to help the cause.

Leaks of this partnership are starting to get around as some of the top Blackfisherman in the state are dropping from this event like flies. Final details are not in but we have been notified from reliable sources that a secret package is in route to owner of NJfishing Gerry Zagorski with full details of the merger. Once word gets out there is a good chance that the Ocean Explorer will be a ghost town on 12/8 as few mortals will want to do battle with this group of stone cold blackfish sharpies. Hopefully members will not be scared away and show up for the event and PUOSU. Please stay tuned for future updates.

[Gerry Zagorski]

Bring it on Alex!! Will be awaiting the details of the soon to be "Failed" merger.

You got this brother...good luck!



Bummed I can't make this trip.

[Legacy]

The LEGACY from Staten Island had the pleasure of having one of the members of this rumored 2 man team onboard yesterday for a day of blackfishing. Conditions were much better than weatherman predicted. We fished south all day and had a decent slow steady pick through out the day ending up one shy of our NY limit. Would have had a double Jersey limit but we only keep 16 inch plus fish. Mystery team member had 10 NY keepers to help fill our cooler.**Can not show his picture at this time as we had to sign a disclosure agreement before**official announcement is made. Trust me, the ladies were in force at The Tiki Bar awaiting his triumphant return.

I hope to get this masked man back on the grounds Friday to bloody the decks with a fall bluefin early and then more blackfish. He gets it done from Rhode Island to Maryland.

[Foul Hook]

I have Boston Pete's spot! That's gotta be some good Karma right there.
You gonna be wearin that hat again? Do me a favor if you bring that homemade wine again please keep it out of my reach, I'm still hung-ova from 2011:D . Got a couple of trips coming up to get ready. I don't need a teammate to prop me up I'll fly solo like the "LONE WOLF". Just be careful if you start to get a bite I'll be in your back pocket so keep it on the down low. I'm lurkin in the shadows! F.H. p.s. Happy Turkey Day yall

[MVP]

A few Updates as trip date approaches:
As per rules on page 1 date to get paid up and secure your spot is 12/1/13.

Enclosed are payment details:
Fare for each trip is $125. That includes fair, tip, bait (greens/whiteleggars) and pool. Any money's left over will be donated to the family. Pay Pal is preferred for the Ocean Explorer trip but if you have to be a pain in the a$$ and can’t figure out Pay Pal, go ahead and write a check.
Paypal address is njfishing@aol.com send it as a gift not payment for services. Make sure to include your screen name in the comments section. Mailing address if you want to send a check is NJfishing.com 17 Montview Road Edison NJ 08837. Make sure and put your screen name on the check.

As per Charter masters rules if you back out of trip and a replacement is not found you are responsible to either find replacement or pay your fare.
Your Fare will include you into the pool. Separate pool is being run by M-Rod for high hook 2 man team competition. He will be collecting the separate pool monies for this side bet. With that being said when money gets involved people sometimes do not act appropriately. I am sure nothing like that is going to happen with this group. Any kind of cheating will not be permitted. No giving buddy fish to help them make the cut or sharing fish with members in team competition to help win pool. Any violators observed doing anything unethical will be automatically disqualified.
Remember what this trip is really all about. Helping a family in need, keeping the memory of our friend LAB alive and having a great time.

For sponsors and members of the site who want to contribute to the raffle please post so we can add your name to list of prizes. Free trip, gift certificates etc..

Dec 8th is right around the corner so do not wait till the last minute to contribute to the cause.

If you are planning to bring some food or whatever please post so we can keep list updated.

All we need now is for mother nature to bless us with some good conditions and some hungry tog. Wishing the best to everyone and their families.
In one way or another we all have a lot to be grateful for.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Fishing pink Avet reel and custom pink rod. Looks like you have some competition. :D

I saw that MVP...guess I better get out there and start doing something then. We'll be out on OE tomorrow begging the fishing Gods to keep the blackfish bite on. Good luck on the PUOSU next week.
