In the works...
 

Talked to Pat Abate last night and he is in for another night since we are taking the TWO top bidders... FishMTK and RI Bass......

Communication has been established, Donations being made, Dinner menus in the works,,,, This thing is going to come fast..... and while on the Island we will fish like machines.... That I promise....

This week will start praying to the "Big Fish Gods" and doing the "bait" dance....

After 2 years with a go pro I might actually have to take this thing out of the box and film something..... We will make sure we document this trip. As well.. The title says it all "ULTIMATE BLOCK ISLAND TRIP"TM & "ULTIMATE BLOCK ISLAND SURFCASTING TRIP"TM ................ Goal,,, "TRIP OF A LIFETIME"TM ,,,,,,,,, Just wait.............

I knew when we put this trip together I would personally look forward to it but I just can't explain HOW MUCH since talking to both guys..... These guys are READY and they are going to bring it.......

As of this date those titles are now TM of Commando Surfcasting and should only be used for charity purposes and never someone trying to imitate this for personal gain......

Big props and honors to all that put this together and to Greg who now needs to set a record time on his run (better him than me, right? :rotf2: )

As Dennis said: BZ :kewl:

Great outcome for a good cause :claps::claps:

Can't stop checking this thread awesome job no one more deserving than OUR troops . With the terrible news about Mr. Tim Coleman I can't help but wonder what this will add to to this epic adventure . Thanks to all .

Dave.... I will say with respect that we will be fortunate to be in good company. It may be quiet at first but knowing we are absolutely privileged for these guys to come together to do this will truly be special.

I assure you we will stand where the great ones have stood and where battles for big fish have been won and lost.

We will honor their hard work and dream of their successes. Without a doubt we will remain humble and do our best to make them proud.

No matter what the outcome or how many fish we catch this group will be bonded forever by our efforts and the contributions we have made for a great cause, by a great group of friends.

Awesome . I know that our fishing community will truly honor Tim and the Vets on this trip.
We all know Tim will be watching over you guys just make sure you get that camera working and hopefully when you get back we can all be a part of this trip. Thanks to all

First of all , I can not say thank you enough to everyone, especially Tom for making this happen. This cause means a lot to me and to see so many people get behind it really brings a smile to my face. It is amazing what a community can accomplish. I really appreciate everything, that everyone has done to help out on this.

I am sure the top bidders are in for a true trip of a lifetime. And they should definately heed the advice and rest up. The last time I fished with Tom, we fished Friday to Sunday and slept a total of about three hours.

Not sure if anyone is paying attention but this trip is less than 2 weeks away,,,,,,

???
 

And where did you hear about this????

Finalizing a few details and this years' trip will be auctioned off very soon.

Here we go again,,,,,
 

Its been a rough winter but finally things are starting to shape up,,,

The house is rented the Guides are Ready and most importantly We want to raise money for a great cause,,, Hopefully the short timeline will still allow some great fisherman to bid this for the right reasons,,,

Last year we had some incredible results and had the opportunity to fish with a couple great fisherman who did wellon Block.. This year I want to personally extend an invitation to last years winners to come to block again for free and prefish the island with the Commando Pro Staff...

Details to follow,,,,,

I also want to reach out to ALL Companies who donated last year and assisted in promoting this.
