NJSWF 2012 Offshore Tuna Trip Oct 5 – 6

[BigAl13]

Also if we meet at the dock at 4 what time will we hit the grounds. Putting in a full day at work and then trying to stay awake for 30 hrs is tough, well not for me but I heard a rumor that it is. Sleep? Retract my previous statement well be catching TUNA the redbull of the ocean

Sept 29 is no good for me, anniversary doubt shell let me miss that to go fishing

I hear you Big Al.  That's my dilemma.  Oct. 13th is my anniversary.  Although, I told my wife and she said not to worry about it and go anyway (if it came down to that day).

I've got a great wife!

There are bunks on the boat.  You can sleep on the way out.

See Bob you don’t need to win the lottery, you did already!

I vote for a Saturday.

Question:  If the boat can take twenty, shouldn't Bayonne and Carl be in and not alternates?

[BigAl13]

No issues with that here,

I agree Bob...let's make the list 20 and build alternates from there...20 guys...85 foot boat = Plenty of room

As far as sleep Al....a buddy of mine does 3 trips a year on that boat ( raves about it by the way )...6 hour ride out (Hudson Canyon)  that's when you sleep...fish all night and sleep on the way back in

Very cool that the boat is waving the 20 dollar rod rental fee for those without offshore gear

Rick PMed me and said he was going to cook all the meals on this trip

This is going to be a blast.........

[Bucktail]

Any word on having braid on the jigging rods?  Would suck to have to reline my reels for one trip.

September, October, Friday/Saturday, Saturday/Sunday,any dates between the 1st and 31st, I'm still in.

BigAl, sometimes it's easier getting forgiveness than getting permission, other times it's the other way around. There is always a way to talk your way out of anything, such as: "Gee Honey, I thought it would be very romantic if I actually went and caught you Maguro(tuna) for Sushi and Shashimi myself. You're  so special that you deserve only the freshest Maguro (Tuna) available on our anniversary. And by the way, you are way hotter then Wasabi I've ever had!"  I'm sure it will work out somehow. <'((((><

Wow, been busy at work and missed a lot of posts.  Any date good for me.
Sat-Sun would be sweet though.

I love the way you think Darren

Sure Kenny I will cook. We are having Sushi. I will bring a knife and everyone can have some of my fish.

Why can't the guys on the Alternate List take the wife's out for their anniversary dinners.  After all, isn't that what an alternate is for...........

They probably wouldn't mind as long as they got the out of towners afterwards.   

[Offshore Madness]

Doesnt matter to us any date and day.......Sleep on a boat??? Are we goona bring comfy chairs to? j/k

[Reel McCoy]

Any day of the week will work for me, I have lots of vacation time.  Also any day of the month works too.  I have nothing planned that far out.

[Still Running]

I spoke with Cindy of the Sea Devil about the moon phase and her logs don’t really show a difference. She did tell me that 2008, 2009 and 2010 the fishing was poor. In 2011 they had many limits with three trips back to back to back with limits. That’s 3 yellow fins per man. She can’t say why it changed so much. She did mention did the oil spill in the gulf move the fish up or just different currents. Don’t know why or what will happen next year.
So with that said I think we should pick a date and go from there.

[Offshore Madness]

Like i said b4 any day any time for us.....

[Kenny]

A buddy of mine just fished this past Sunday Monday overnighter on the Sea Devil on the full moon.....Caught their limit and were back at the dock early 

[Bucktail]

Well, if it can't be September, I vote for the first available date in October.
