PA beer rules!!~!:cool:

Re: Puosu 5
 

Fun Time for sure! fishing was a little tough but the company was great!

Good food, good boat and crew, and I even had a beer!

It is ALWAYS a pleasure fishing with Lefty, GerryZ and brother Joe, and all of the other charicters on this board (too numorous to mention)! It was even nice fishing with LAB:)!

Started the day with a controversial keeper, but it was 15 inches! I figured to avoid any problems I would go ahead and catch another right away @ 16 inches. First keeper settled:p :D! Unfortuatly that was the best flurry I had all day:o. I did manage one more fish late that tied me up with Mr. Wells for a shot at the title. I think he made the right call including both of us for the final next week:D!

Looks like another double for me, as I am on the mimi saturday as well! Better start looking for a room now. See you guys next week!

Thanks to everyone for making it a very enjoyable day!







LAB, thanks for putting it all together.

Had a great time on the Ocean Explorer as always, LAB did a nice job organizing the event. The fishing may not have been the best but the entertainment between drops was second to none and I met a bunch of really good guys that I look forward to fishing with again. Hope to be able to make the Mimi trip next Sunday.

9.5%, gotta love it, and I don't drink! I had two and it was enough for me!

Re: Puosu 5
 

A great time for sure. LAB certainly is the Charter Master. Everything was well organized and went off with out a hitch. Got to love seeing him step up on the coolers barking orders and hurling insults. I think he must have been a drill Sargent in a former life, no megaphone needed. Great job Mike. Not sure anyone could pull these things off the way you do.

The food and grog were only surpassed by the company. Great to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones too. The OE team was awesome as usuall... Had us on the sticky stuff all day and Captain Bobby even gave me some personal rig tying pointers after seeing the ghetto rig I had tied on.

We probaly hit 5 different places ranging from 110 feet to 50 feet but the fish were very picky. Seems like the best action came on the next to the last drop when the port bow monkies had a flurry of action and put on a mugging clinic...

All in all a great trip with a great group of guys.

Congrats to all those who qualified for the final.

Congrats to everyone making the cut for next week. I was not fortunate in the quest for the hat. I got the doughnut, nada... zip, zilch, the ole skunkaroo, but not for lack of trying. Had a fun time anyway.
