LAB,
after reading some of your flip remarks on this thread and others, your devastation might be the motivating factor for a cancellation. you might want to re think the role of moderator before you post at times.....

RELAX, trip is on, the Mimi boat will hold all, food, drink and fish; even with chris aboard...

All, i can verify that LAB did visually inspect the Mimi, he was the subject of conversation between chris (mate of the mimi) and i while we washed boats yesterday!

Re: 1st Annual www.njfishing.com P.U.O.S.U. Tog Challenge
 

can't wait to see you and chris!!! although I will see both of you before then.

Flippent remarks and ball busting is part of what makes this site worth reading, it is when people decide to take things too seriously on an internet message board that things turn sour

The man organized and posted a charter, if you want to join him great, if not, also great, but score keeping of who fishes with who or who refuses to really has no relevence in a thread made to organize the trip

I in Labby ... no matter how many times you edit my posts. :rolleyes:

No bailing out & no welching here Bub.

Re: 1st Annual www.njfishing.com P.U.O.S.U. Tog Challenge
 

Where will the after party be?

$100.00 pool with ALL proceeds donated to a good "CHILDREN'S" Charity? Maybe something near and dear to one of our members.

Re: 1st Annual www.njfishing.com P.U.O.S.U. Tog Challenge
 

Hey Tim..are you hiring?

$100 pool (although for a good cause) is beating my already pummeled wallet.

I'm in for just some good fishing...with good peeps...and enough ball busting to go around for everyone! :D


Only 68 more days to go!

$100 pool.... dat's funny! ;)

Re: 1st Annual www.njfishing.com P.U.O.S.U. Tog Challenge
 

13 pages of pure enjoyment. Nothing like sitting at you're desk, eating a hot lunch, on a cold, rainy day reading what has the making of the next hit reality (comedy) show. The NJFishing PUOSU Fishing Challenge.

Each week a different boat and target species. With a cast of characters amply supplied by NJFishing forum members.:D

Re: 1st Annual www.njfishing.com P.U.O.S.U. Tog Challenge
 

Just a suggestion.

Re: 1st Annual www.njfishing.com P.U.O.S.U. Tog Challenge
 

I just hope when this is over there are a few tog left for us hacks :D

Looking forward to reading the post trip recap...if it's anything like the last 13 pages it will be a hoot!

Good luck to all but remember, there can be only one...

Re: 1st Annual www.njfishing.com P.U.O.S.U. Tog Challenge
 

Being that we're only 1+ days away, I thought this thread should be reborn...

Looking forward to getting out with you guys on Sunday, I expect it to be a blast.

P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

Left the dock at 6:30 one shy; Turfman never showed or called?? PM me

Captain Kenny, Mates Ryan and Chris got everyone aboard and we headed north.

First drop took awhile to get any life going but it came around. Mick Razz FOREVER TO BE CALLED "BABY AL" got the Dollar Dollar Bill Yo fish and took an early lead in the pool with a 7.5#er!!! I tripled by Lab Limit for the day on this drop. After the third one, the sun disappeared as I got mugged by a couple middle linebackers. I lied and told them to toss in the wrong direction.

Kenny moved us around off Long Branch and Elberon from 60' to 30' but we never got a good bite going. Scott, Baby Al, Boston Pete, Cheesehead Scott and I braved the bow while others set up down the rail or in the stern.

It was a scratchy bite all day but FinS Bob nabbed a couple nice fish including an 8#er. Baby Al was high hook with 4. Stellie, FinS, Scotty and I had three; maybe more did too?

There was ample room to roam and many did but it never Turned On?

On the last drop, Pete was fishing up in the bow from me. He put his rod down and turned to get a crab. SOMEONE came over, moved his rod, dropped their own bait down and chin-hooked a 8.5#er. Nice Mugging Scotty!!!

Shrimpman Steve set up a $10 pool and we had the $5 pool. Up to this point, it was gonna be a split as FinS didn't go in the #10 pool.......but Scotty took 'em both.

Thanks to Shrimpman Steve's WIFE for making us a crock pot of tog chowdar.

All in all we had a good time, made new friends and caught some fish. The boat is spacious enough both inside and out.

Things I learned today:

Un-orthodox style but he's taken the last TWO blackfishing pools on site trips; Scott Kearny

Don't ever turn your back on him. He tossed out over the anchor line and got wrapped. He yanked and his 10oz Bank Sinker missed Baby Al's head by inches. Me and Pete saw it coming and ducked, just in time.

Tiny Tim aka Black Cat aka LastPortOfCall needs to stop holding his feeling in ROFLMFAO

Fire Chicken (name means he catches a lot of sea robins) is younger than my underwear but he's a nice guy.

Padiwan Robin (name is something from Star Wars and HE also catches a lot of sea robins)

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

I'm glad all went well.....all the planning...waiting....etc, etc.

Looks like great people, great time, great weather, great fishing......kudos for putting it ALL together LAB . !!

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

Lab, thanks for doing team reporting for the very exclusive NJF Tog Charter! Hats off and well done:D .

Although the initial report is that it was slow, I think there was a decent bite, just took a little work (or muscle, or sneakery) to get going.

It was a little rough up there in the bow, and I'm not talking about the ride :p With Mickrazz's defense in response to the appropriate length of his "$1 fish" to Lab threatening everyone with his high hook claim right to the end, to my jettison "photon torpedo (catch the Star Trek robbery)" sinker, to multiple questions abuit the age of someon'e Wigwam, to a new no smoking bow policy, to a good natured mugging in the bow for the all improtant number 1 spot, to the reverse and lastly some nasty fat tog lady not allowing my Newell 229 to reel her up, this was no place for children:eek:

Lots of good ball busting and a super high five out to Boston Pete for being a super sport :cool: after all of the afternoon events. Also thanks to that fat lady tog that will be there to fight another day.

I'm also really glad that nobody got hit by that sinker. Next time, I'll yell duck...

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

Great meeting many new faces today. Although the fishing was slow, the company was great!

Things I learned today:

LAB is a nice guy (as long as he's not moderating:D )
Steli is as nice as he is big!
a seven pound cod feels like a double digit tog!
one crockpot of chowder is NOT enough for this crew!
that I actually know toggytime in real life (its a small world)
where the OB diner is.

Fun day with lackluster fishing. I had 8 shorts, one keeper, and a cod. As Usual Capt. Kenny, chris, and today Ryan, were great!

I can see this trip selling out quickly next year. I reserve my spot, no matter what the date!

LAB, thanks for putting together such a nice trip.

Steve

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

Thanks to LAB for putting this together and special thanks for warning me about flying sinkers...Thats twice Scotty...the third time and I punch you square in the nose:)

The Chowder was outstanding Steve, as was your company.

Don't ever let me hear talk that Boston Pete has soft hands that only count money...the guy made MY hands numb just watching him with no gloves on in the bow all day.
Pete...that was by FAR the worst mugging that I ever witnessed..YOU should have punched him in the nose.

They don't come much better that Fin-S-Bob, as a fisherman and an all around nice guy. The bucket on the head was priceless.

I shook Stellie's hand as we were leaving the boat...LAB, I won't be arm wrestling him anytime soon:eek:

Ed, for a liberal you're ok...;) I hope you retained what I showed you today. I'm gonna test you on knot tying the next time I see you.

Scotty...what can I say brother...you're the best. If you ever actually HIT me with a sinker I'm gonna punch you in the nose after I wake up.

The trip was outstanding because the PEOPLE were outstanding, Captain and mates included. It was my pleasure meeting and fishing with all of you.

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

Lab - Nice job organizing this event - :D

Though very humbled :o after today - 1 - short on a very scratcy bite had a great time. good seeing a lot of familiar faces and meeting new ones.

There was a lot of talent on this boat today ! too bad the fish new better.

As usual the Capt and crew were great.

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

After 2 days of getting up at 3:20 (Cape May yesterday) and feeling like I've been hit with a dump truck, I'll have to keep this short and sweet...then eat dinner!

Bite was tough today with a lot of scratch with no commitment and I felt ok with going 3 for 5 on legit bites. Brutally cold in the morning, but warmed up nice for the afternoon bite.....? :rolleyes:

Too many people to say I had the pleasure to fish with today, but big up's to Scott for dashing my hopes for internet glory. Haha! Nice fish dude. McRazz with the line of the day. "This spot's got c*ck!" Had to be in the elements and mood to appreciate it.

Nice work setting this up Mike, and glad we got to eat like "gentlemen" in the morning. Wouldn't have missed it....obviously! +20# since U.B.

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

What a great group of guys!

Tiny Tim and LAB had me in stitches all day! Thanks to all for making this a VERY enjoyable day!

LAB - thanks again for setting this up!

I really enjoyed meeting and reaquainting with great fishermen and even nicer people!

Al

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

Say it. Someone just say it.

The fishing sucked today. The bite has slowed in an area that had been producing well since the Jersey season opened, but today it appeared that the inshore 35' IS OVER.

Captain and crew worked hard. I had a good time meeting everyone.

Things I learned today.

SMS sounds exactly like someone famous - I'm just not sure who it is yet.

Thanks Lab for putting it together.

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

Sounds like a blast boys!! Fishing in the land of giants was better, but not much. Thanks to all involved(Jerry,LAB,Stellie,bobber) for the hookup.

Capt. Grumpy doesnt deserve weekend business(he's too busy protecting his numbers to anchor up anywhere)!!!

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

Nice job guys...looks like A LOT OF FUN!!

Way to go...

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

thanx again for the invite Mike and the unflatterin comments/pixs (friggin head was cold) Nice bunch of guys (misssed my Baby Girl) Had a tuff time with the bite so Labby allow myself to redeem myself come on out this weekend whattya think me, u, and baby girl on the SS Beanhead? i must be exhausted but id do it again yawnnnnnn

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

What, no mention of the dog??? What he do, I'm curious??? :rolleyes:

Mike, you always like that at 5AM? Like shot out of cannon!! "2 speeds, slow and stop" That 7-11 dude will stab you one day!!!!

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

Didn't fish by Groovey all day (I fished QUIETLY in the bow) so I can't say if he caught on his Hi=Lo, straight to braid rig but I'm PROUD to accept him into Team LAB as our newest member!!!!

That's Tommy @ 7/11........you should see me and Dave (normal overnight guy) go at it!

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

OK Tim...fishing sucked. That said I had a great time, couldn't ask to fish with nicer/better people. Great seeing old faces and meeting new ones.

As said before the bow was pure evil.... in the morning especially the dark side...and in the afternoon with the muggin, worse than walking thru Bed Stuy at midnight.:eek:

Great meeting/fishing with MickRazz & Doug you guys are great fisherman & people....will definitely love to fish with youse again.

What can I say about Scotty, you gotta love this guy...but he's not the same nice guy since he started fishin with LAB...congrats on the pool winning fish and for releasing her...motha pharka:p .

Again great time and great people. Thanks for the invite Mike.

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

Wow sounds sorry i missed out sounds like everyone had a good time, couldnt get off in del.

WTG scotty you been on a some tog tear:D exciting finish i heard:D King of Both sites.

Petah Crabs in pockets man!!!

Wayne said it was a great time with everyone.

Nice job putting it together Mikey

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

A great time and thank you Mike for putting this together

Capt and crew were great!...good to see you Kenny, it's been a few years....Chris I always loved fishing with your Dad and it's a pleasure to get to know you

Shrimpman the Chowda was outstanding

Things I learned:

I now get why I was 250 to one

Scotty has this "aw shucks" manner as he puts the pool $ into his pocket trip after trip

Lab needs a mute button

MickRazz....great to meet you, I made a donation to the ACLU in your name...I'll see you at the next "Al Sharpton Fan Club" meeting

Boston Pete is funny as hell

getting on and off the boat Stellie moves with a speed that can be only descibed as Glacial but if he sees you get a fish he's in front of you quicker than Jesse Owens

I'm looking forward to the Voyager trip and hope a lot of you guys are on it....I'll be bringing the Irish soda bread

Eamon

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

Fishing Sucked.

It was effing cold.

I drove 90 mph home to avoid getting killed by my wife after getting in at 4:15 and I told her I'd be back by 4:30.

but...

Shrimpman's Chowdah was on the money...

It was a great day with a good bunch of guys. The crew was great. Ryan was really helpful with rigs etc...

btw I can snell a hook and tie a dropper loop unlike some others. I fished next to Wayne all day and it was a rough bite....

Lotsa nibbles, no real bites. Capt worked hard.

Groovedog = 2 shorts

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

Paul

He may NOT be able to tie a good dropper loop but he won both pools!

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

LAB great trip, I can honestly say that I was really impressed with the quality of fisherman on board. If the guys on that boat couldnt catch fish especially with all the crabs on board I dont think a dragger would have done much better. Great meeting and fishing with everyone. I can see from everyones response that I should have tried Shrimpmans chower maybe some day I will learn to eat fish but in the mean time I will stick with pizza. By the way LAB I didnt think a grown man would wear a hat with a tassel, but I have been wrong before. Definitely looking forward to fishing with all of you again and hopefully the fish will bite a little better.

Re: P.U.O.S.U. Results
 

Grown Man?

Dude, You seen AND heard me...............I ain't grown.

Everytime I turned around you had a slice of pizza in your gullet.

I also wish the fishing was better.........I fished the same boat both days this weekend. I've fished with Kenny for years (voyager and mimi) and he's usually put us on Da Meat. There just weren't many bites on the inshore pieces we fished.

That said; I can't wait to get out again and have at 'em.

Now give your daughter back her hat!!!


ps to Cheesehead Scott.........Dude those 'roids are workin' wonders! roflmfao
