[Life's A Beach]

you may board NOW

right NOW

at ~ 6:30 or when everyone is ON the boat........I will call a "family meeting".

At this time I will go over HOW the weigh-in rules will be executed, how the white crabs will be distributed and everyone will be told to take ALL poles out of ALL rod holders.

Then IN order (that's starting at 1 and going until we're done, JOE/REEL/VINNIE) everyone will put ONE (1) and ONLY 1 rod in a holder. That's how it will remain until the captain blows the horn to begin fishing at the first drop. ALL extra poles stored out of the fishing area (BOSTON PETE).

BUT.............once the captain blows the horn to begin fishing..........It's blackfishing; all's fair. One exception..........njfishing.com HAS outlawed the "choke hold"......If you're gonna mug someone please use the socially accepted "hip check" or "Hey, did you see that sweet rod Garone is fishing with (as you slide in next to the person) line".

There will be a "livewell" to put fish into (after tagged) if you want to release your fish after weighed in (again, BOSTON PETE). I just put new batteries in my scale and calibrated it so it's accurate.

ALL participants are asked to weigh in. The top 15 (or 16th if I place in top 15) will be invited to fish 12/18 on the Mimi. IF any of those qualifiers can't make the Mimi trip........we'll go to the next heaviest qualifier. So in essense, the 20th heaviest fish COULD be on the Mimi trip if 4-5 peepz can't make the 18th.

BTW Cry Baby - Tomatoes ain't on the trip so leave your DAMN CLAM at home!


Word of advice - Please leave your feelings at home AND check your dignity at the dock.
