My brother (42 yrs old) has finally decided to get married. Seeing he is a little older and wiser than your typical bachelor, the majority of his party will involve fishing. I'm flying our younger brother in from the Windy city thursday morning and the three of us start making our way down to Cape Cod (thu - sun). :cheers:

Our current plans involve the three of us fishing thurs - friday afternoon. Then on saturday we hook up with our cousin for a charter trip. Saturday night should go just like all parties should. Probably hit Zachary's at some point, etc.... :gu: :gu:

The big surprise is that neither of my brothers know that I just purchased a new boat! :happy: They think we are either surf fishing or trying to take a 16' whaler out thurs-fri. If weather/wind stays as predicted, my plans are for some night fishing out at MV late thursday into friday. Then maybe try our luck for some tuna in Cape Cod Bay.

I've been planning this long weekend for 9 months now and I'm psyched thats it finally here. Hopefully I can get my two brothers into some decent fish. Our younger brother last fished freshwater ~3 years ago.

Check out the small gift we're giving him too. OTW did a great job with these.

Nice pants in the second one Mike....you trying to look like Dave now? :D

Hope all goes well @ the Mashpee center for proforming arts :rotf2:

Mike, once the brothers get a glimpse of that new ride of yours, even the ladies at Zacharies won't drag them out of the water!

:think:


> Hope you guys run into some nice fish. Looks like the weather is going to cooperate! Look forward to some nice pics next week.

Sounds like a big weekend all around. Be careful with the new boat!

Zachary's ...... for about 8 years now we have said we were going to go there . haven't made it yet. Give us a report on the talent on Monday! :)

Zacharies :yak6: now for a good time Desire in Providence is the place.
again only my opinion.

Have fun. And I want out on that new boat!!!

Awesome MIKE! Thats a wicked great idea with the covers! Im sure your bro will have a great time and he will def. be surprised!!!

Was supposed to work a full day today but just can't stand it anymore. :wall: I need to go home now and triple check my packed coolers and tackle inventory. I'm sure I'll find something I'm missing and need to take a last minute M&D's run. I'l make sure to post pics (fishing related hopefully) by sunday. :jump:

Best of luck to you all Mike :btu:
Sounds like a good time.

Show us the catch when you can. Sounds like a great time and be carefull :cheers:

Just got home and am exhausted. Will post all pics later but here are a couple to wet your whistle......

From thursday night thru this morning, we caught stripers, blues, sea bass, fluke and a tuna! My brother fighting and landing a school bluefin tuna below.

His last trip as a single man.

Sounds like it couldn't have gone any better.Congrats on the great time.

Awesome! :buds:

Good for you Moses, sound like the trip worked out perfect for you. :bounce:

Wow it must feel great when a long awaited and well thought out plan come together. Congrats.

Sweet Mikey, It figures, I will not be around tomorrow so I will have to catch up with you Tuesday. A tuna to top it off, can't beat that! What was the verdict, did Tom have a clue about the new ride? Glad to hear it was a good trip/time!
