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

[dales529]

We had yet another meeting last night. As far as I am concerned the war on fishing regulations just heated up not died off because we lost another battle.
Its a war and again NO ONE is happy with the current situation whatever it may turn out tomorrow. The WAR is Quotas and MSA Reform
After 9 years participating I have learned and am still learning how difficult this is but believe doing something is better than doing nothing, and have seen many doing more than me at their own expense

As disappointing as the recent situation is I cant justify to myself giving up so this TRIP is ON. I WILL find enough to sail and then some. Talked to Capt Ron and he is excited to have us.

Update on fundraising for this trip:
- Because I still believe in the WAR 50% will go RFA-NJ and 50% to SSFFF
- To cover trip expenses as stated we need a minimum of 30 as I never have asked for a discount from our hard working captains, what they charge is what I pay.
- I cant given the current situation ask for raffle prizes from our local NJ businesses as in the past . I am sure you understand but I will try and get something from big industry.
- I personally am donating (1) Bogan Rod and 3 spots on my trips with Capt Jerry on the Fish Monger . (1) Spot each on July 25th , Aug 29 and Sept 5 Fluke trips
- We will do (2) 50/50 's a $20 and a $10 plus a boat pool for the most kept shorts LOL (Just kidding ASMFC and NOAA but by the way GFY)

So we give a NJ Party Boat some business, we fish for fluke, get out on the water, have some fun, maybe even bitch a little, learn more about the war we face, give SSFFF a few bucks and let loose a little.

Support and come if you want, Don't if you don't but we are going

Pool for the most shorts? At last! One I can win !!!!!
Now throw one in for the most shit fish and I'd be in heaven
