Has anyone seen ALSMako???? LOL!!!! Steve??? Steve???? Ohhhhhhhhhh Steve!?!?!?!?!?

Still here. Who knew getting up at 4 could make you so tired great trip as always. Thanks dave for all the hard work. Great seeing all the familiar faces. The catching could have been better but that is to be expected on these trips. Can' t wait for the next one.

Was great meeting many of you on yesterday's trip. Great group of guys. Congrats to Jeff on a quality fish under tough conditions. Capt. Ron and crew, it's always a pleasure sailing with you, as Eddie mentioned you have one gear which is maximum effort and yesterday was no different. Thanks for the effort and running a top notch operation.

Yesterday's trip is precisely why associations like RFA and SSFFF are important to support and recognize the work they're doing on our behalf. To protect and preserve our God given rights to enjoy this resource and support the second and third generation families who depend on it for their livelihood so trips like yesterday's are possible. Dave a huge THANK YOU for all the effort and conviction you put in to help our cause, we should have presented you a plaque yesterday in recognition of your on-going efforts. Gerry as the saying goes, this site is "the straw that stirs the drink" and brings everyone together so a big hats off to you sir as well.

Hope anyone who tried the sloppy joes enjoyed them, good little sandwiches! Look forward to the next trip! Happy Father's Day to all the dads on the site!

Is Steve still yellow? OMG making Hyundai's outta wood... the laughs just kept on coming. Thankfully I'm a funny bastard cause I cant fish, sh&t I even got Kurtis to smile twice in one day. But all laughs aside, Dales Gerry and Co thanks for all your efforts and keeping this horrible fishing tradition alive. Capt Ron n crew thanks for a great day as always, and always great seeing my boys, dubs, als mako, salt Jr n Sr. 00-60 da fish, Wilson, tropics, Larry n jr, Kurtis etc.. looking fwd to the Sea Robin Dogfish trips to come.

Hopefully everyone had a great fathers day and look fwd to seeing all you guys out on the water this summer.

Sorry for the late post, I had a death in the family last week and was lucky just to get out and lose one short for the whole day

Had a great time in spite of the lackluster catching.

Ok another "Ground Hog Day" RFA Trip. Thanks to Capt Ron , Jimmy and Joe for making the most of suspect conditions. Actually given that I thought the catch was respectable for the current PB fishing so far this year. Some had 2, some had 1 but at least half the boat had a keeper. (will mention Jeff JR fish later in this post) Real beauty. Capt Ron did his usual effort which is one of the best in the fleet and put something on board.

I have tried 5 year olds, Psychics, little old ladies that always win at slot machines, brought an actual nun on board, etc etc to pick dates and we always end up the same. Next Trip I am booking tomorrow and yesterday!!
Not throwing in the towel yet, even the cubs finally won a world series.

Thanks to everyone again for making this happen and never laughed harder than this trip. The bow takes the "cake" for the most epic BB and comedy show ever put on an RFA trip. Led by Lefty Reeler and G Dubs it would put Tosh.O , Louis CK and a roast of Justin Bieber to shame. Had we recorded this an R rated Channel would pick it up as a reality show. A Fishing show about NOTHING! (Aka Sienfeld) .

Season 2 may be delayed as Lefty and G dubs go on their mandated Asian Apology tour though.

You got to believe in Karma!
- Jeff and Jeff Criswells put together at their own time and expense gift bags with a lot of great tackle and get rewarded with some keepers and Jeff Jr gets a well deserved quality 8 + lber to take the pool. Glad it was you Jeff. Have to get you on the tournament circuit
- Dakota does all that statistical work for SSFFF and explaining it here plus donates the best sloppy joes I have ever had and gets rewarded via his son winning half the raffle prizes, monger trip and 50/50
- Larry Hart donates a Rod / Reel Combo and his son Brian wins a Monger trip.
Larry also gets best HAT award again.

Gerry and Joey Da Fish ALWAYS step up.

Henry donates great hand towels for everyone (Ok so Karma didn't work for you Sorry)

Anyway you guys make this easy to run and glad to do it for as long as you want. Maybe another go at it in August?
I will run the numbers and see where we ended up but probably between $1500 and 2K raised for a great cause with parts going to RFA-NJ Chapter and SSFFF.
Not going to change the world but we all can complain with a clear conscience for doing something rather than nothing.

Great day and Thanks Again
