count me in John. Strategy Meeting / Sacrificial burning of the meats at the same place again?

Location undetermined but probably same place on East Beach ;)

Im in we need a designated bluefish catcher this year!!!!

The breakfast last year was one of the best in my memory... probably because it was nice to sit down in some dry clothes and have a hot meal and coffee after that weekend... had some gnarly conditions... almost got washed off the front of watch hill light sat. night...

John :think: How bout when we meet up Ill give you the plug and you can run an auction here on S-B for it and donate the proceeds?? I know you are busy but I am gonna be going back to driving truck soon and am not gonna have reg net acess??

OK, John I'm out of retirement and I'm in for this tourney. What the hell, I am back as I fished all night last night and fell down 3 times in rocks and I'm still at work today. I guess I am not as old as I thought I was.

John,

I’m in again this year. I can only fish Friday night through Saturday morning though because I’m running the half marathon in Newport on Sunday morning and will need to get a little sleep Saturday night. Hopefully I’ll be able to make it to the cookout again but will miss the breakfast.

J

but I am gonna be going back to driving truck soon and am not gonna have reg net acess??

NO, No, No. We got a plan, remember? You and I are fishing the Block on the New Moon in Nov and the Full in Dec.

Paul, glad to have you back in the game. Were you wearing your korkers?

Paul, glad to have you back in the game. Were you wearing your korkers?

I was and I kept getting tangled up for some reason. 40 years wearing the damn things you'd think I would know how to walk in them.
I'm buying a pair of felt sole boots for the Canal. I ache all over today. Took one real good digger face forward on to the rocks.

Wouldn't be right without it.

If Bob is in so am I:rotf2:

So, who do we pay for this benefit and when?

They're forecasting 4 to 6 to 5 to 8 foot seas for most of the weekend. Gusts to 40 knots as well on Friday and wind all weekend. Rain the whole time.

I could have made that forecast two years ago. It is, of course, the fall surf club challenge. :hihi:

Yup sounds bout right... Hmmm fishin will be good though depending on wind direction....

Every year it seems to be a brutal weekend.

"Paulie I believe JohnR said the cost was covered???[/QUOTE]"

Josiah, thanks man.

Team costs are covered in a donation to MS.

There is the awards breakfast and raffle Sunday morning at the Andrea Hotel in Misquamicutt. Prizes donated to the raffle generate more proceeds for MS. I'll throw some prizes on the table as well.

Light Cookout Saturday? East Beach? African Bean Soup?

OK final week - need some more bodies to throw on the pile :devil2: :

Bryan,
Quonny was added for a while - then dropped by the tourny director. A little mis-communication. As far as I know they are NOT a weigh station.

Hi John,

Hope to see you this weekend and say hello, I will be fishing for another team.
