I wanted to post this up for a while so here goes...
As you all know, we have done a NJSWF site Tog trip for the last 6 years..and we just did our 2nd tuna trip..all of which I consider not only a great time with great friends but Huge successes !!
What are guys thoughts about maybe expanding that in 2015 and adding a fluke and striper charter as well ??
What about doing some type of site tourney next year maybe with the fluke, stipers and tog ??
Would love to see what everyone thinks as far as how we could expand our site trips next year being that we all seem to have such a great time going on them not to mention that this is how most of us have met one and other and built so many great friendships.
Lets treat this thread as a suggestion box if you will to try to generate some new ideas and maybe put a new spin on the old..
I for one feel that there is much more we can do as a group next year...perhaps we start that process here.. t^
Have a idea or suggestion... post it up !!
Ideas for 2015

do any of the party boats do inshore trips for mahi mahi and tuna? One I would definitely love to do is a night jumbo blues trip but not sure anyone else would be into it.

Not sure if any party boats do the inshore tuna/Mahi thing ... I think it's too hit or miss inshore to make a trip out of..
But I bet if you posted up a night bluefish trip some guys on here would join you ..
If you don't post and try you'll never know !! That's exactly the kind of thing that this site was built for... Bringing guys together to fish ..
Great idea to try !!

Queen Mary and Cock Robin do bonito/false albacore trips in the early fall. They are a blast! t^

A NJSWF member shark tournament might be fun. We could make it a month long or so. Mid-June to mid-July are good times for sharking. Maybe join as a team effort so the same boat can go a couple times with a different group if needed. Just a thought..

We should do more group trips, Striper, fluke, tog, and maybe a night bluefish trip.
I didnt include the Tuna trip because not everyone can do it.
As much fun as I have reading the reports and jokes on here Id much rather be on a boat creating the reports and hearing the jokes t^
Some cool Njswf swag would also be nice (different tshirts, stickers, maybe coffe mugs idk :headscra:) while I love my indigo hoodie the other parents at my sons school are wondering if Im just a dirtbag who wears the same shirt everyday or if I have a closet full of them (I wonder that myself also)
Maybe hosting a flea market, or a seminar somewhere would invite new and active members to jump in this thing we got going. Im sure everyone here could buy or sell something ;D

Here's my bucket list trip Eddie !!!
A long range trip out of San Diego !!!

Come aboard the Excel just once and you will instantly see she has the most rail space, deck space, lounge space, and tackle storage in the San Diego fleet.

The Excel has many options available to fit most desired trip lengths. Whether you want to take a quick run off the coast of San Diego or down to locations such as Alijos Rocks, Puerto Vallarta, or Hurricane bank for as many as 20 days, the Excel can accommodate your schedule.

Featuring Accurate two speed reels spooled with Jerry Brown Line one spectra on Seeker Rods. Tackle is available from our onboard shop at internet prices!

TRIP DESCRIPTIONS
3-6 Day Trips
Trips of 3 to 6 days duration aboard the Excel typically range south to offshore tuna grounds, possibly Guadalupe Island, or along the Baja Coast, visiting such islands as San Martin, Geronimo, Cedros and San Benitos.
During the late spring, expect the action to be best for Yellowtail, Yellowfin Tuna and a variety of other species around the islands, with the good chance of intercepting schools of Bluefin Tuna and Albacore. Summer into the fall is prime time for migratory runs of all tuna species. Yellowtail and Dorado are also found around floating kelp paddies.
7-10 Day Trips
Our 7 to 10-day trips offer the most variety in fishing action as we explore the southwestern Baja coastline from San Pablo to Magdalena Bay, often with a run out to Alijos Rocks. These trips are usually scheduled for early summer, and again throughout the fall months. Fishing along the inside “ridge” is outstanding for big Wahoo, Yellowtail, Dorado, Yellowfin Tuna and Marlin, with Pargo and giant Grouper being the reward for those dropping bait to the bottom. Alijos Rocks is a hot spot for Yellowfin Tuna in the 100-pound class, Wahoo, and world record size Yellowtail.
12+ Day Trips
12+ day trips aboard the Excel target the very finest Yellowfin Tuna and Wahoo fishing in the world, ranging over 1,000 miles south to such exotic locales as Hurricane Bank, Puerto Vallarta, Cleofus Bank, or even beyond the remote Clipperton atoll. From these prolific tropical waters, Capt. Bill Poole has returned with numerous record catches for his passengers, including the IGFA all-tackle world record Yellowfin Tuna which stood for many years and only recently beat. In the 1970's and 1980's, 200 pounds was the challenge. Now, with modern technology, gear and less fish lost, Yellowfin can easily reach 300 pounds and even surpass the 400 pound mark. Scheduled from winter to spring, these longest of the long-range trips offer the ultimate in big game fishing.

Just a thought.

Although I wouldn't be able to participate in Fishing trips..to me that sounds like something that has worked for you guys in the past and only requires the members her to join in. What I feel works for more of a diverse group is having a get together and a few fishing seminars during the off season. BBQ outings are nice too. If we had a hall to rent say from a local fire house or Lodge once a month and have member meetings that is something to think about also. Organizational jackets are nice, it make everyone show that they belong to something.
Along the lines of NJ Saltwater Fisherman. This site is nice,but to me it becomes a bit to impersonal because we mostly communicate on the net not much face behind the communication. What I'm saying it's nice to have a get together and meet people with the same interest and share there experiences in person.

To accommodate the probable high demand A bunch of Monger trips for member's only can't go wrong with those trips !
Also A night Bluefish trip haven't done that myself in years Lots of fun plus not as hot out .

Would be fun to do the night blues...probably been 30 plus years since I've done that as well...
We used to play poker and drink JD on the ride out !!! Great memories !!

Great ideas.. Maybe a late spring Mud Hole bottom fishing trip would be a nice addition.
I am all for having a BBQ-Picnic as long as we agree only to have it if the winds are blowing +15MPH from the east ;D

Let's have a spring banquet- all you can eat buffet!
We could solicit donations of tackle and such, have a raffle to benefit the RFA, some bevvidges, etc.
We could even wear name tags so everyone will know who is who!
OH WAIT, UMM, NEVERMIND

We haven't done a cod/Ling bottom fish trip yet. I know they are cold trips but can be fun. t^

It's freezing out...Road trip to Fl to fish on Harbison's boat.
Surf or pier get together.
-
A lot of fantastic ideas here, I'm up most of them. The long range, multi day trips out on the west coast are in my retirement plans when I retire in 6 years. Shark, Fluke,Night Blues,Bottom Fishing,BBQ, let's do it.

They won't bother you if you're drinking some Peski or some Skunkpiss

Maybe reserve a picnic grove at Monmouth Park Racetrack one weekend. I could care less about the horses, but they have a playground, food vendors, bring your own food & drink. And it's only a few bucks to get in the gate for the day.

That's the pefect spot Chris!!! Great idea
I've been to the private trackside picnic areas and also the public ones. That are both nice and the park is in a good central area for all of us.

I'm all for a Fluke trip. Nothing like a nice warm/hot day out on a boat. Don't get me wrong, I love toggin. A BBQ-bonfire is a great idea. t^ Great suggestions.

As most of you know.. we will be passing on the Banquet this year.. Although it is always a great time.. it's time for a change up..
Debi said we can even do something at the Tiki Bar in the Summer..
-
Some good ideas were mentioned during the Tog trip..
1- some type of fun Shark Tourney.
2- night head boat Bluefishing trip
3- Casual summer BBQ - I mentioned I would make my home "Club Ed" available if needed. Lake Lefferts is across the street if anyone wants to make a few casts in the sweet water. Volleyball area out front. Back yard has Tiki Bar, Kegerator, cool mist system, pool, Spa, Firepit and Plenty of room for Tables and chairs to rent or bring some, My Firehouse does BBQ catering at a good cost locally. Cost should be low per person.

Not sure how I missed this post. Great ideas, Kenny. I like the month long shark tourney idea that Eddie suggested.
