Well said Bob.   t^  Nice job on the mic too!   clp

The heads of NJSWF really know how to put on a killer shin-dig.  It was a great time seeing everyone, old and new.   Excellent food, prizes, and company.  You really can't get any better than that!  Thanks to all the sponsors and people that made it what it was.  Nice to see the RFA get a nice chunk of change from the people they fight for.   clp  clp

Can't wait to fish the pair of Mike's plugs that my wife won!   ;D

There were prizes up the wazoo. A big thank you is in order to all who donated for this superb yearly event. It keeps getting better and better. I can't think of a better way to kick off the new year of fishing.  clp clp clp

Everyone was very generous which enabled us to donate a record $1350 to the RFA. If you are not a member, it's time to join.  t^

I am so sorry that I will have to miss this gathering again.
The date is just not good for me.
Tax season, with just a week to go, doesn't work in my business. Will miss being with you "guys" though. Hope to see you all on the water soon. slt

Uncle Sam is not very happy if things are late.
And I don't want it to be my fault.
With all the swag you scored, I bet you're glad you changed your mind huh

Let's review..... :headscra:

Paule has won the following,

Seahawk Tog trip 2009....Paule won a fishing trip w/Capt Bob...

Islander Tog trip 2010.....Paule won that beautiful custom rod that Phil made...

4th annual NJSWF banquet 2011.....Won at least 2 prizes that I can remember....most noteably that really sweet Ocean Reel donated by Rick....

Is this guy lucky or what?!!

But wait....there's more!

Mind you I have never won a pool EVER! in my life until....Paule was fishing next to me on both the Islander tog trip last year and a tog trip on the Bingo....I win not one but back to back pools....

Just standing next to Paule is lucky!!!

I bet we don't have to talk him into coming next year t^

Yes I am but not because of the prizes. That was just a bonus. Getting together with a great group of guys and the fishing networking opportunities is worth it alone.
