RFA -NJ Cod Safari on da Gambler

[dfish28]

They weren't too bad, I had one pisser though when we just pulled up a pollock then a cod, then I have a good feeling fish on and call for the net: it was a doggie... He did get a free nose job though

Nice day on the water with a good crew. We could've used a few more fish, but at least we went home with some good eats. I credit my catching a lobster with fishing next to my good luck charm Sister Dot. She didn't have a great day, but she stayed at the rail all day and fished her butt off.

Thanks dafish.
Yes they can fool ya. Nice you had a cod & a pollack though!

Grateful dad, I love your handle. I hope Sis didn't get skunked?
Sounds like a wonderful day on the water w/ great peeps!
Awesome.

Well another "groundhog day" RFA Trip wrap up post. Could probably just cut and paste from previous years! Great Boat, Great people and some fish blah blah but seriously its true. The Anglers make this trip everytime.

Thanks again to All that came out and as always Capt Bobby , Mike,, Chris and Todd gave us exceptional service on the GAMBLER one the best fishing platforms on the water. 55 miles and felt like we were fishing in the river.

Caddishack Jeff Sr and Salt Life Jeff Jr I am pretty sure have attended every RFA Trip since the beginning and always a pleasure to fish with. Saltlife always seems to get a good one too.
Larry Hartattack should change his screen name to Heart of gold. Jay, Steve and Crew add to the fun every time. These guys know how to do it.
Also great meeting some new people in person.
Bunker Dunker and son a class act (well son anyway) Quite a fishing team and Ranger fans so what else is there.
Grateful Dad and Sister Dot teamed up for a nice mixed bag, yes Larry I think you got one too.
RS Mako had a nice Cod on the other side of us and Ralph from our crew had a close second Pollack.
DFish, Ahab, Aduma and all the rest didn't see what you guys did on the other side of the boat but heard it was pretty good.

Lots of laughs as always and left satisfied that we ran a good trip and it was well worth it for all.

Congrats Scrubby on the pool and the small 50/50! Nice fishing next to you and discussing the pleasures of the devil / Rangers rivalry

Couple more pics. I think Capt Bob had some video done as well.

As always we had a great time, fishing could have been better but the capt did what he could. Got some sun and had some good laughs. Go Devs!!!

Ate some of my catch last night - yum Pollock was good but the Sea Raven was great ! JMurr knows his stuff - the uglier it is, the better it tastes

[bunker dunker]

my son and I had a great time and we even got to jig a few cod and a Pollock.
they were all short but there were some real good ones caught.a big thanks
to all who put this together and was glad to put some names to faces.it was also great to hear a devils fan say"Go RANGERS"!!!!but the moment was short lived as he won the boat pool and the 50/50.thanks again to capt bob and crew for giving 200%.
Go Rangers!!!!!!

Sounds like last few trips as mentioned... Nice boat and ride. More catching.
Sounds like the offshore trips as well

No one ever throws back a good sized sea raven once they try it. Tastes like monkfish tail to me.
