:fishslap:

A little humid out there today?

:alien::alien::alien:

Not at all humidity was not part of the equation

it was 100 pct the whole time

thanks for coming everyone - wish it was a little fishier. we'll have to switch up a few things for next time. next year stellwagen. and no one puked :yak5:

great fun. big thanks to everyone that contributed to making this happen. got some nice haddock fillets in the oven right now. hope everyone else had a good day also. couldn't think of a better group of guys to be tangled up with all day.


p.s. Striperman36....you may have won this time but this is far from over......

PSS: the other one I have frozen is even bigger!

Great to meet everyone. I'm pretty sure every move we made was a big circle back to the same spot. :)3

Thanks Niko for setting this up. If EelSkimmer hadn't brought the banana we probably would have caught more fish.

Great time today. Paul, thanks for setting this up.

Great time. Fillets are all bagged up for delivery tomorrow. Im still feeling like im on the boat, swaying back and forth, almost took a spill in the shower.

too funny, it was pretty flat

Paul,
Thanks again. Also, thanks for staying awake to whole ride up AND back! It was a great day overall.

John,
Thanks for the S-B.com stickers. They will be well served.

Derek,
Those brownies were awesome. Wish I had one with dinner

Nice meeting some new guys too.Wish I met more of you. Came home and cooked up some fresh Haddock. Wow, was it delicious (Paul, still can't believe you don't eat this stuff)!!!

That's It!!!!! A Bunch of guys sleeping?

Where's the Fish Porn? Any Pics of some Fish? :hee:

I think they stopped at a fish market on the way home!:jump1:

It was a good S-B.com trip, nice meeting more S-B finatics and thanks to the FishOn, Zacs, and Niko for their work in putting this together however back to Stellwagon ground fishing for me! The Cove/Jeffries surely didn't hold up to it's reputation.

Paul, Thanks for the plug for 1st fish boated in the stern! Glad it didn't have to be a keeper to qualify.:)

How long did my brother make it before he passed out or fell down??

He was locked in the bathroom all day Nacho Libre.

Yes, 90 minutes of sleep in the previous 32 hours was not cutting it on the way back from the slamzany cod fishing we accomplished :tooth:

See note above.

Well said! Thank you gents for putting this all on together :btu:

Great time & Crew. Only missing: large numbers of fish & splash pants.

I believe he made the whole trip upright :btu:

Nobody :yak5:

no one tossed JackK over, wow.. I'm shocked!

had a great time...allways a lot of laughts....thanks to the people who put it together

We made an effort to deny his martydom. Clearly, walking around with the Phillies cap on, he wanted us to toss him over the rail. So rather than to be goaded in, we pretty much ignored him all the way up until he had a tantrum on the deck stripped down to the spidey underoos...

Did he then break into a a chorus of the Eagles Fight Song......There's a visual.

I dont see a report or pics, come on guys, I;d love to hear how it went and see some pics of fish (or at least fishing)

:uhuh:

In all seriousness, I had a blast... Thanks to everyone for getting this all together. Good to meet some new people and catch up with others.

Bummer that the fish didn't cooperate, but at least most people went home with something. I'm going to enjoy my $120 haddock tonight :jump1:

Big congrats to SM36... While he still hasn't proved that he can jig at all, he did prove that he can chuck a clam with the best of them!!

Reports are - fishing was slow:
Some Cod, Haddock, Pollock came over the rail into the boat. Nothing big. Striperman36 had the biggest Cod.

John Pollock almost joined his kin on the ocean side of the rail :hihi:

Amazingly, I think only one Dogfish was caught - heard but did not see.

Some flounder and occasional wolffish, and cusk came up as well.

LOL he came to our side to toss his banana peel :wall:


Great day, love meeting everyone, some again and some new
Zacs thanks for the ride and the conversation.
John thanks for the S-B stickers as well.

and to the gentlemen on my rail. " Fish em long and dangly!"

your gonna need it...and I always say, if you're not cheating you're not trying hard enough....

Mr Pollock was serious bad luck. He stood next to me for a while and the fish stopped biting. I don't think he was three steps away from me heading into the cabin and the bite started again. Pretty sure someone up the bow sent him back to try and ruin the great fishing us stern guys were sharing.

I also had a great trip. Fishing could have been better, but I went home with a decent bag of haddock fillets, so I can't complain too much. Unfortunately, the 3 or 4 people that I had promised fish to aren't so lucky.

Striperman36 thanks for the flounder fillets!

BrianS is a jigging machine. I think he might be the only person on the boat that didn't switch to bait once. And it paid off with the second largest cod... but he missed the collection for the pool :(

We had a good group of fishermen on the bow. Much superior fishermen to the slackers in the stern. The crowd on the stbd side was kept entertained by Sea Dangles running commentary.

iamskippy bought dinner at Kelly's on the way home (thanks bro!). I ate way too much, and combined with the two 5hr energy i guzzled for the drive, it made for some pretty bad indigestion all night and this morning... feeling better now.

Can't wait for a fish fry tonight!!!

Nice to see everybody. I had a really good time. I'm one sore puppy today, though!
