T-Minus 3 weeks

[MZ7Extreme]

And NJW&W will be road tripping to Nantucket...

Good food company and most importantly Beer!

part of me can't wait, but the summer is flying too fast wish we had MORE Time, but I am ready. Got all the right gear and rigs.       You, your buddy, Spearfish, his buddy, Buck154, Zipper and Me...   big fish are unfortunately going to die.  What is rapidly becoming a world-renowned fishery may never recover. 

On a side note - I am leaving my man card in NJ - not riding up with "the fellas"as I am going up very early Friday morning and spending two nights with Holly in Dennisport but will meet you guys at the boat for sure! 

To regain my man card, I do plan on the following:

A ) catching the biggest and most fluke

B )  Returning to her reeking of fish, beer, and cigars

C) Kicking some Massachusetts Snowflake's ass

(all in that order and if anyone has MAGA hats we can wear, I am sure they will go over really well up in Lib-landia)

I'm ready as well jigs, hooks, gulp ready to go. Spooling up my new reels.

We will be killing a lot of fish, just hoping for a few of us to get some personal bests.

Cant wait to get a stuffed quahog clam and lobsta roll, and a bunch of beer!

Any preference on where you want to fish on the boat? I'm going to bring a few dead stick rods and see if I can put them up the night before we go. If not I'll be by the boat at 4am so I can grab the spots.

if he sticks to the "port side" drift side rule - from stern to cabin on the port side.   However I suspect 14 guys will be stacked like cordwood around entire cockpit there wont be much room because it's not a walk-around, so he may take turns on who gets the drift side.    In that case perhaps the stern might do us well but I just don't know so I guess roll the dice and take port corner and go like 3 slots either side of it.   If that is taken go starboard corner and take 3 slots either side of it.

10/4 I'm on it

More than likely that boat will drift bow with the tide not sideways to it

lines running away from stern or toward bow ?

Good luck to you guys, look forward to some pic's

[Buck154]

Hopefully we have a good trip. Fluking here has not been good at all. Lots of shorts but keepers are hard to find. Will be nice to be able to catch some quality fish I hope.

I Am sure you guys will have a great time and hit some really big fish. Just hope for good weather and fishable seas. Will one of you be posting a “Live Flukin’” thread?

I doubt we will have service out there?  Will take pics along the way for sure and report after.  I think there will be as much time spent running as fishing since it's only a 7-4 trip.  Maybe get 5 hours of fishing if lucky?

Away from stern . Boat with drift as though underway.
