Great opportunity to gain experience and fish with some of the best of today and of the past. Note to the winner bring red bull and get use to watching the sun rise. Good luck bidding.

Savage Gear is also putting together something for the winner. The bonus package alone is HUGE.

GattaFish 05-17-2013 02:28 PM

ok,,, The slots are filling in and the Guides have it organized pretty good for the schedule on when and who the winner will fish with,,,,

Just got off the phone with Pat Abate from Rivers End and he will have rigged eels.

I know its early but Just want to thank all my friends for their help on this,,,,

Confirmed the Dates for Frank Capone....

Frank is an exceptional Cook and also a heck of a fisherman... Last year he cooked an incredible meal and unbelievable pizza..... granted he will be improvising on Block but I promise he will not disapoint.

His plan this year is to add breakfast one day to his already generous dinner plans.,...

At some point maybe we can get him to disclose his secret... Not only how to catch a 40# fish on Block but also get someone else to carry it to the truck,,,,,,:devil2:

Less than three hours to go.
Who's going to win the trip of a lifetime.

Somebody should really bid this up at this price it's a steal. I'd do it but I'm going to be out of country.

I was fortunate to win this last year. For anyone thinking of bidding, let me assure you this was truly an awesome experience. Regardless of your experience level, you will learn a ton. The guys in the house and the guides were all good people, passionate about fishing and supporting this important cause!

Bid hard...you will not regret it.

Thanks.
Never been in an auction before....pretty exciting stuff.

I really think it is hard to put a value on a trip like this. Both in content and cause.

This is just a sick trip.
It is a crazy gift to put this together for the community. I still cannot believe that I am actually going.

Thank you.

Because the bidding has surpassed another $500 increment we are offering an additional day (Monday) if that works with your schedule.

I might not be able to sleep between now and then.

If any of you have advice for someone new to Block Island, I am all ears.
