I have secured reservations on Block Island for the nights of Oct.1st & 2nd, departing Oct. 3rd. If anyone is interested in signing up for this trip, please send me a PM to reserve a spot. The maximum people for the trip is 16, there are currently 7 openings remaining for this trip. Several...lets say "unique" SB members are already signed up for the trip. The cost is $119.00 per person for 2 nights stay at the center road apartments. Note, you will be required to pay for and arrange your own transportation to and from the island. I would recommend teaming up in groups of 2-3 to minimize the ferry costs for vehicle passage. Here is a link to the Block Island ferry: <http://www.blockislandferry.com/>

Strider,

At this point it's looking like I'm going to catch the 9 a.m. ferry on SATURDAY from PJ.

I'm coming from midtown Manhattan, so it will be tough for me to catch the last ferry out.

Anyone who wants to hitch a ride, let me know.

Fishweewee,

Can't you take the corporate plane over to block and we can pick you up at the airport ;)

Krispy should be calling you on that "good time phone#", rumor has it he like those looooong bumpy rides wearing his one favorite glove :smash:

How many Tattoo Swimmers a month is parking in midtown?

Fishing definitely slow, but more than made up for it with a lotta laughs. Fun time with fun people, thanks again Strider.

sorry to hear it was slow:( Hopefully it will heat up for me next week... I need a strong west wind and a cold snap.. maybe then things will light up-

I had a great time out there, nice meeting you Tony O. and 5/0 Bob. You guys can tow the line, walking those miles with piles of boulders under foot. Loved those stairs on the southwest, 145 in total :boots: I think I saw one of Chrispy's lungs at the top of the stairs, guess that what happens while dragging a 28# bass to the top :D

Had an awesome time fishing with you guys,we definetly covered alot of Fishy spots.

I'll post some pics tonight.

I'm beat.
It was a FUN time. Too many laughs. A GREAT group of guys. When the fishin is disappointin, always good to have a "Plan B" to fall back on.:cheers: Tony and Bob, great to finally meet you two. Good folk in my book. Look forward to gettin together some more.
Thanks for puttin it all together Rich.

Once we got back, was weird driving more than 30 MPH and not driving down the middle of the road to avoid deer poachin with the truck.

An enjoyable, laugh filled, SAFE trip.

At least there were no seals over there to blame it on. Was amzed at the lack of other people fishin over there.
Congrats to my partner Krisp on the big fish of the weekend.

We all earned every fish we caught.

Krispy & redlight got word of some monster bass @ black rock.
Here's some senic shot's it's an awesome Island I tryed to capture some of it on file.

Just wanted to say I had a great time last weekend. Thanks to all who organized the trip. I did not get to spend as much time with the guys as I would have liked but I was doing the father thing with my son Matt. He was kind of star struck meeting Rich and Toby and the other guys. He thought your vehicles looked like a Navy Seal comando fishing operation. I am still seeing rocks in my sleep and my Korkers are basically destoyed. My son thinks it was funny to see his father knocked off a rock and swimming around for a bit. Although I did not do too well, I learned a lot and will be better prepared next time.

Rob, it was great seeing you and meeting son Matt. Bringing Matt out to the Block is a very cool thing to do. Glad you guys could make it. We all did a little slipping and sliding out there in the wash. I think Redlite (Mike) was floating around out there. I heard something about perched on a rock casting eels, then washed off and a redlite bobbing in and under the water.

It was all great fun, just wished the cows were in.
