What a great time it was!!!! Next stop will actually be a bit south as some of the guys would rather not go into the city. Which is good for me as I am moving back to CT for a year for work. Anyways, I must say I couldn't have picked a better bunch of guys to fish with. All of you were great. I look forward to the next one which will be south of Bean Town in a nicer area with the same style fishing as we did in Maine. I hope to see all of you there! Oh I have a couple of pictures I will put up later....

[Roccus]

I've said it before and it bears repeating... it aint always about catchin' fish ..... Next season I;ll put something together at PI, I just dont have the time to invest in setting it up right this season...

Thanks for the pictures!

[zimno1]

jacob is one funny dude! glad you guys had a good time. again sorry i could not make it; maine always has the best sunsets and sunrises.

[Wild Dave]

Wish I was there, looks like you guys had alot of laughs. I think that is a great idea about Plum Island for next year.

[scone]

yup, another great time. thanks guys for the pictures. hey, no one throws
chow together like gunny.
funny chit J- had to modify that to the two "finger" method for striperjim.

[GunnySniper]

I got a few to add as well.........................

[jon006]

Another great outing... Can't wait for the next one. I finally got my first striper although it was a bit short, it was the most beautiful thing Ive ever seen. Can't wait to get that keeper Im sure it's gonna be mighty tasty. Wish I had some pics to share but I think I took enough on Gunnys camera. Hope to see some more of you in Boston next month these gatherings are great... As I told gunny, it was the best time Ive ever had in my life... Thanks for the great memories guys.

Aint that always the way Bryan. When you need a camera its not around but when you look like sh*t warmed over theres like 5 of em.
Me and Ray were there as witnesses. If it was the Hudson it would have been a keeper. On a surface swimmer. Well done.

I just missed it. I woke up from a hour of shuteye and walked back to the beach with all hands in the water tossing plugs. Jim is up to his chest in water and I heard him yell they are hitting poppers. 2 seconds later, I'm in the water with the rest of the crew. I'm glad no one caught a picture of my catch.... Remember the crab hanging onto my eel. That crab turned into seagull food.

I think memories of the weekend will last quite a while. It didn't matter that all I caught was crabs. The conversation and sharing of info was worth it....and I got to try Jim's multi hundred dollar reel for a few casts. What was the brand on that reel again? It was beautiful, and almost as nice as the sunrise.

I did learn a great trick for catching eels from a cooler full of water. Use one of Coalmans socks slipped on like a glove. I think the dirtier the sock, the better the grip....They were still slippery little suckers.

I agree a good trip. It was my wifes first camping and all night fishing trip. she took it like a champ being the only woman and all. no fish for me but like roc said it aint always about the fish. I have pics too and will post them once I get them on the computer. I am glad everyone had fun. and jon you owe me $35 for the chair. Just kidding that was funny. Congrats to Brian on that first fish It will only get better from here.

[jon006]

Smu you owe me 35 for a broken ass, damn that trap chair. My girlfriend and your wife got along well which was quite good for us. Maybe ill have to bring the girl again...
