Theres alot more pics from everyone else.
 
It was great seeing everyone again. I really thought that there would have been more attending but the family and I thoroughly enjoyed everyones company. Hey Ken how was your ride back? The bay kicked up pretty good on the way home for us. Luckily 90% of our ride is in 2-3' of water so it was pretty flat till we crossed the bay to get to our lagoon. Then everyone got soaked.
 
It looks like y'all had a nice time. Willy, "Fishbones" with her new ETEC looks sweet, but if you look at the bow to bow pictures, she's just a bit short on the bow flare compared to a V20. I am just kidding...you have a very nice boat there, Willy. Lumber, Wilson and Pete, yours look great as well. Better than great--extraordinary.

It looks a bit calm out there for an Aquapalooza going on. I was expecting to see pictures of Krinkle, glo sticks and......?
 
Wife and I planned on coming but ended up in Wilmington at REH76's house for the weekend instead. Did not take the boat but did go fishing on his buddies 17' skiff. Highlights of the weekend were my oldest daughter laying into a big flounder from shore and freaking out. I came over to assist getting it up onto the sand and guess I horsed it a little as the hook popped off the line. 4+ lber probably 19-20 " range. The other highlight was my youngest getting over her opposition to using live bait. After my oldest threw a fit about the big flounder, daughter #2 decided she wanted to try. She apologized to every minnow just as I hooked em in the lips. Final highlight was REH76's 5 y.o. son putting our only keeper in the boat - a fat 16" flatty. He is a fishin machine! Really knows his stuff for a 5 y.o.

Glad ya'll had a good time.
 
Looks like a good time.

Thanks for posting the pics! any more?

I have been busy since getting back from my Maine trip (bike, not boat). I'll try to post up some pic's.

Finally got some time to upload some pictures....Another good time was had by all. Like Pete I was a little disapointed because I thought this year we were going to get a pretty good turn out....but oh well we all had fun....

Destroyer, sorry to hear about your motor woes....Keep in mind until proven otherwise you are still imaginary:you:.

Ozzie and Lee, hope you guys had a good time. Like I told you on the phone yesterday Ozzie (tried callin you too Lee but your phone went right to voice mail) that I'm feeling real bad that I was only able to hook up with you guys out on the water on Saturday....I just didnt think through the whole thing with the camping equipment and having the dog and all. I still should have found a way to make it work to hook up with you guys some more. Truly sorry about that....Willy and Pete...good job showing those guys some Northern hospitality...sorry I didnt help out.

Lumber....hope you're still not pulling black dog hair out of your scuppers! I guess he's telling me to clean my boat because he definitely seemed to like hanging on your boat more than mine (except maybe for Pete's while he was cooking)

Great shots Rob, I enjoyed the time together as short as it was, we'll make up for it fishing the coming weeks.
Family always comes first my friend, and you sure have a good one, enjoyed meeting your wife, great smile, nice lady.
Don't worry about those Old Snagger's, they are like a bad penny, always turning up. Plus you would have had to listen to who caught the biggest fish over and over from you know who.
 
Oh and Destroyer, a vote was had and the decision was this, you must post an 8x10 color glossy of you in your V20 holding the Star Ledger Newspaper with the front page and date clearly legible. Sort of like in Alice's Restaurant.
Otherwise you do not officially exist.

I had a great time fishing and enjoying the company. The guys wives were great and the kids were very fun to hang out and talk with. Wish I had more time to hang out but Willy and Ozzie wanted another fishing lesson so I felt obligated to oblige. :you:
 
Looks like you were having a good time, wish I was there!

Gas prices are definitely keeping me close to home but maybe someday I'll raft up with youse guyz.

Maybe I missed it? But I've yet to see this so-called fishing report. What did Krinkle catch besides a buzz? :head::hi:

A nice flounder, we didn't measure but it was a good 3" longer than the legal limit. When we rafted up with Captn Pete, Lumber, Rob. Pete had a grill and was grillin some Mahi. I fillet the flounder and cooked it up. Man was it good.

What I caught was the only legal fish and a big nice one to boot. :love::sun::clap:
 
Hell yeah.....good job! It is a good thing Willy had a couple southern boys aboard to catch the day saver! :you:

I dont know how you southern boys ID fish but I saw you eating a tuna steak.....Ozzie called it Salmon in his other thread and you just called it Mahi......now unless Pete had multiple fillets on that grill you two boys dont even know what kind of fish you're eatin'!
 
Rob - you mean you've never had grilled yellowfinmahisteelhead steaks before? You guys live a deprived life! :beer:
 
All adds up to a great time by all. Wish I could have made it. That Newfi is big boy for a gunnel hound. What a great bunch of folks.
A couple observation on Garage holding the fishing challenge trophy. (Charleston and Barnegat) You never have to drive the boat. Captains put you on fish. Otherwise your watching from the dock. It had to be said Lee. :fam:
