Hmmmm wishful thinking.... Anything over 20 inches besides the after party bar tab would is pretty low odds on these trips

Maybe we should make it the first thing caught that swims

[Joey Dah Fish]

I'm in for any and all pools . If I win lol never happen all goes to RFA how about you Shrimpy?

Some Updates:
(weather now a tad of an issue) but its a Fluke trip so lets not worry about that.
Most likely will be fishing Shrewsbury Rocks / rattlesnake area unless Capt finds anything better over the next few days. Also Plan B may be a deepwater drop (Ling , Flounder, seabass ) Boat will have some clams on board that's really if things go bad but bring gear accordingly and I would recommend some heavier sinkers and some meat (whole squid, smelts, ) etc for Fluke in case jigging isn't the thing.

Raffles:
This year raffle and 50/50 tickets will be $20.00 an arm length but new is buy 2 and get a third length FREE.

Current Raffle Prizes include:
- Penn Rod / Reel Combo Fluke set-up from Scottys Bait and Tackle
- Fish Poison Kevin Bogan Custom Rod
- Plano Tackle Box with Assorted Spros, teasers and Gulp from Dave @ The Reel Seat
- Tackle Box with dual trays from Jigging World
- Assorted Sharkbytes Bucktails / Teasers from Mike Reynolds SharkByte Rigs
- (3) $25.00 gift certificates from Tonys Bait and Tackle
- Open Boat Trip with Capt Chad on Tagged Fish
- Open Boat Trip with Capt Kris on Fishstix
- Open Boat trip with Capt Kevin on Fish Tank
- Assorted New tackle from Larry M
- RFA Hats Tees etc and of course a de-hooker or two
- Henry Landau Tees.

Boat Pool will be $10.00 for heaviest Fluke or Seabass
Additional $ 5.00 pool for first fluke 20" or better boated. In case of a time tie, (yeah sure) longer fish wins.

As always Raffles/ Pools are OPTIONAL but encouraged. Remember you cash winners this is a fundraiser!

Anyone who hasn't paid yet its CASH at the boat and there are still a few spots if anyone last minute wants in although sandwiches cant be guaranteed for newcomers unless you get on by tomorrow noon.

Trip shaping up nicely again and Thanks to YOU and our Sponsers for their generous donations. Help these guys out whenever you can. We all buy lots of stuff so use our sponsers.

Hey Richie!!

I will bring enough ice to keep the beer cold not sure what Dave and Fran have planned for other stuff but you might check in with Dave.

As far as Fran putting keepers in people's coolers, you must be talking Sea Robins
