Uh OOOOOO. The Camera Man is coming?? Guess we need to be sure to behave ourselves or it's sure to be caught by his camera.

Tom
Whatever you want to bring is fine. Boat has a huge weight limit even before we eat!

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up
 

OK so need a little help with:
Ice: Need a few 10 lb bags, bring it and I will pay you at boat
Large Coolers (1) for Lunch and (1) for Drinks
Slaters: Anyone stopping there or passing by need lunch pickup. Will hold your boarding spot if late.
Kevin Bogan Rod pick up: will be available by June 14

Sorry to ask but have some stuff going on that is taking a lot of my time and energy.

Looks like quite a crew. Also I want to personally thank all of you for coming and supporting RFA / SSFFF even after another difficult regulation battle. It means a lot to me that you would bother and validates the work while not always or very successful but shows it needs to go on.

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up
 

Dave.. I have two large coolers I can bring. A 102 and 98 qt.

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up

I am donating a few Monger Spots on My charters on July 25 and Aug 29. Hope who wins is someone I can stand but tough with this crowd:D

Tom Dakota will explain why this trip is a skunkathon as Gerry so aptly put it and is bringing South Orange Sloppy Joes. (As if my stomach wasn't already screwed up LOL)

Criswells think they own this trip and hard to argue they are the front runners but WHO is going to take their bravado down??

Yo Dollar first Keeper.

Taking Odds on Wilson getting a Keeper weakfish as it is a trout kinda of sort of.

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up
 

Well long range forecast says no 100 degrees, no snow, maybe a shower. Am I dreaming or has Dave picked the perfect day? LOL. Spots still open so don't wait these trips are a blast with a great crew great food and great brew.

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up
 

Ok a few drop outs which I knew were tentative so we are back to 38 plus myself and Gerry Z so 40 onboard. 10 spots open for walk on paying cash or sign up via internet (paypal or credit card) by Thursday AM

Either way we have a great crowd and plenty to sail. Capt Ron starting to get dialed in and if we don't catch we can always go back out on the 3:30 to 9 trip :D

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up
 

No rookie indeed! Just firing up those that are easy to get going:D. Looking forward to fishing with the infamous FAST EDDIE again
Pool is 10 for saltwater guys and 20 for sweetwater;)

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up
 

Is it powered by "hot air"

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up
 

Gas!!

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up
 

It would take quite a bit of hot air to move that ass:D

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up

Who will catch the Fluke of the day tomorrow? I'm fired up and ready to go! See you WACKJOBS in the am!!!:D

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up
 

Dave again wanted to thank you, Gerry and everyone else involved putting this together. Going to be a great trip. FYI, you'll love the sj sandwiches, not the typical ones you're thinking. Just to be clear too for Eddie, it's fluke only in the pool and not flatheads right?

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up
 

No Flatheads allowed???:confused: That's not fair!!!! Hmmmmmmm! Maybe I'll bring a 10 lb river Walleye for the pool!!!

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up
 

Just doesn't seem right having Fast Eddie with the last post before we sail so nothing new to report just what I said above. LOL:D

See you maniacs in the AM.

Yes Shrimpy we miss you too. Did you tell your clients you are sensitive:p

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up
 

Looking forward to this group of die hards. This has always been a great trip.

Gonna miss Shrimpy losing double buck tail rigs as quick as he could tie them.

Thanks to Dales for taking making the effort to continue this trip, and even trying to pick a date that could actually produce some fish.

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up
 

Far from just me Henry. Its you, all the guys going, Joey Z running around picking up raffle prizes, Gerry Z doing his part etc etc. You guys make my life running these trips easy. just got off the phone with Capt Ron. He is going to give us the best shot possible as always. Probably fishing shallow 20 foot so light stuff.

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up
 

But also bring heavy stuff LOL:eek:

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up
 

We always travel with light, medium and heavy. Can't wait but I guess I will have to. See you all in the morning. :) Will try to get some sleep.

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up
 

I'm still awake so there's still plenty of time for me to make another post! LOL!!! Well, who's excited for tomorrow? Who will catch the biggest Fluke? Who will show up to the boat super early and wind up sleeping in the cabin by 9 am? Hahahaha!!! Will Joey Z catch another 5 lb FLUKE-A-SAURUS??? :D

Re: 9th Annual RFA Flukathon Sat June 17th Official Sign Up
