Thanks, they tasted even better than they looked. Bubba burgers, the only way to go.
Willy,I'll take you up on that challenge. Don't forget I have home field advantage. If you are staying at the same place that Rob usually stays at then Ocean Beach is probably your best bet. There are plenty of hotels up by me in Toms River. My friend Kyle, who you delt with last year at Ocean Beach marina, lives on the water by Huddy Park. I'm sure you could get a slip there for a few days.
 
I hate to say this, but I may not be able to make it. I just found out today that my company has picked that weekend to have our annual overnight trip to AC. (All on the company tab) So now I'm between a rock and a hard place.. I don't think I can make both. (3 hour drive to AC, then 3 hours back, then 2 hours to Barnegat, then 2 hours back again...) Trying to see if I can tow the boat with me to AC, then just go from there up to Barnegat. Staying at the Borgata...gotta find out if they can accominate a vehicle w/trailer for parking.
 
I've spent a goodly amount of time and money for the last several months getting my boat ready for this meet. This is not what I wanted and I'm really not a happy camper right now. Not sure what anybody "called", but here's some insight. We close on our new house today. Started packing weeks ago. Got a wife who wants to know why I'm spending so much time on the boat with everything else that's going on. We move on July 18th. I've been planning my whole life around this raft up ever since the date was set, and now my company decides on this date for their outing....so .. you tell me how I can be in both places at the same time and I'll be happy to follow your directions...:cen: And that's what I'm talking about!

Lumber, that is really tempting. And I thank you for your offer. I may just take you up on that... but considering the cleanlyness of your boat it might be embarrassing for you. My boat is functional, but not a show queen. LOL
 
I'm looking forward to it too. The wife and I are taking our week vacations the week before the get together. So if anyone wants to get in some week day fishing I'm down with that. Much better than weekend fishing.
 
I wanna bring "REEL Deal" up REEL bad...gas trending down helps...$2.79 here...and those thoughtful pinheads at the IRS determined I overpayed on final return for the BBQ restaurant...sent me a US Treasury check for $4.00...:nut:...F__K ME!...:nut:
Anyway, cruisin' this boat across Barnegat Bay would be like a victory lap for her, so I'd like to do it...but still waitin' last minute to make call...other irons in the fire too...we'll see...
 
way to go on the $4! Gas around here ranges from right around $3 for cash to 3.30ish credit. Its over $4 on the water. That's why I got a 29 gallon gas caddy. The fluke bite is getting better every day. And from what I hear there are a few bass still around. If your feeling brave there is tuna about 30-40 miles out. The bay is loading up with blowfish(which really do taste like chicken)and crabs. And unfortunately jellyfish,which means no swimming. But Tices and south still is clear.Let me know if you are heading up this way. My friend lives above a marina in downtown Toms River. It has a half a$$ ramp and plenty of slips and there is a Red Roof Inn less than a block away.

You mean up the Jakes Branch of the Toms River? Rt 166? Near the Courthouse? That's less than a mile from where I used to live. Right on the edge of Beachwood. God that brings back memories. :love: Thanks
