who wants to Charter with me & CB??

[macojoe]

I called Kevin at www.kaymancharters.com He takes 6 at a time at $200 each.

Have to call and set it up after you know how many are going, he also does trips with like 3 of us and 3 other people if we can't fill the boat.

Says set up for monday and then see what the weather is like and we may have to move to tue or wed depending on weather so the more flexable we are the better.

Any how I am in!! and so is CB!

So who else in in?? sounds like do to weather we need to be a bit flexable (I know CB is :P)

Kevin says Haddock and Pollack are what they are getting!

So who is going need 4 more!!

If I mis-understood and you are talking another monday let me know

[chumbucket]

Come on up brudda. 8) ;D

[chumbucket]

I gotta go see a man about a horse. ::) :P I'll check back later. Might be a while. ::)

[macojoe]

Boat leaves dock at 6am and returns at 3 or 4 in the afternoon.

O well we will worry about that after we get 6 for ther boat!

MJ, CB, SEAN, Willy, ?, ?

Air?? whats the deal??

Like I said if all looks good I have a camper for a couple of nights, 3 guys could fit 4th if two sleep toghter :-*

30' has heat and fridge, lights, no water cause of winter. Door to house open all the time for bathroom and showers, and heyy if you can get the old to go for it, Great!! god knows you be doing better then me :-/

[Airslot]

9 hours & change is doable. I have to find out the wifes travel plans, as she is headed to FLA for a bit after Christmas. If the stars align, I'm all over this trip. but if you can get a sixth go for it. At this point I'm on stand-by.

And MJ, watch what you offer....Wiley will have the missus feeling like a teenager in no time...why you think they call him "Slick Willy"?

[macojoe]

So with Air ?? we are 5 still need one more! I can fill the spot with a non member, but thats a last resort!

Now what we need is a list of days we can pick from so I can call the guy and see whats good for him out of what we get.

Dress warm and bring lunch & Drink



Ok Dates I need Dates!!

[whale]

Sounds good but I think with a potential gas tank in my future and saving for the slip fee $200 has me priced out. You can feel free to drop some cod off on the way by!! ;D

[chumbucket]

Right now, I'm flexible on which date we choose. I just let my work know a week in advance, so I'll let others choose. I work Sun, Mon, Tues. regular schedule, then one or two O.T. days.

[Sean]

Date doesn't matter to me either, if we could try for a Sun, with Mon Tues as back ups that would be great, but I leave the dates to the posse comming up from down south ;D

[Airslot]

Don't feel bad about filling my spot. I'd love to go, but the next few days I'm working on getting a quick passport.

Dont get me wrong, I'd love to visit casa Maco ;D, but Costa Rica has been a dream of mine for years ;)

[willy]

looks like for me that January 20-21-22 or Jan 27-28-29 would be doable, first two weekends got some heavy stuff to take care of, Moms 80th birthday bash we are throwing and one of my junior super models 17th along with her drivers test.
Air let me know buddy ;)

[macojoe]

Willy we are looking for beginning of the week rather then the end of the week, say Sun Mon Tue.
Is that doable for you??
So that looks like 23, 24, 25 for you?

Also will you be coming alone, if Airslot disses us for his other buddys?? ;)

I can fill this trip up with non members, but this started as a board thing and I like to keep it that way!

[chumbucket]

Excuse me Mr. All-Knowing Administrator; What calander are you looking at? One from 2001? The dates willy posted are the beginning of the week. ::)




Oh brother..............we're at the hands of a bumbling overlord. :o

[willy]

Are you looking at a 2008 calender, I show it as Jan 20-21-22 like I posted above, thats the sun-mon-tue

[chumbucket]

He needs the newest Brooke Burke calander willy. 8) ;D

[macojoe]

:-[ Not only was I looking at the 2007 calnder I was looking at decmeber!! :-[

Yur good Willy!!

Now will you come with out airslot?

[willy]

nothing to it really MJ, learned it in kindergarten actually, I was ahead of my time though ;D

And I have not heard on the Slot man yet ???

[willy]

And I will come with or without, but hoping he works it out, its a heavy liquor bill for just one guy :o

[macojoe]

Great!!

I am going to call the guy and make for the 20th and if that doesn't work I will go for the 27th!

MJ CB Sean Monkey Willy

If Air can't make it I have a guy that will fill his spot Its a go guys!

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[Airslot]

MJ, this trip doesn't look good for me, but I'll know for certain by Wed or Thursday at the latest. THis CR trip is a dream of mine, and its looking good right now... ;D

One of these days I'll fish with you and Chum, just something that I need to do once ;)

But for now, I'll be content to chase bills and watch half nekkid women on the beach ;D

[macojoe]

Thats ok!! I am sure we will at some point!!

I don't blame you if I had a chance I would do what you are doing!

[chumbucket]

I've fish in CR before. You won't regret it 'slot. ;) 8)

[willy]

all right Wind Talker let me know what dates, got to start saving my pennies ;)

[macojoe]

I am calling tomorrow to set things up ;)

[MonkeyButler]

Hey MJ,

I cleared cookies on my PC and got logged off the site. I can't remeber my original account login. Can you look in the Way-Back Machine and help me out???

[macojoe]

CK your PM's all set

[Monkey Butler]

Thanks, after the lost name fiasco I'd look like a real idiot if I did it to myself

[Airslot]

It's official boys, I am out for this great trip. :-/ :-*

I got my airline tix today. Going to Costa Rica for my dream fishing trip, then hitting Vegas on the way homefor 2 days ;D

[macojoe]

Have a good time slot!!

We are all set guys!! We are going the 20th if the weather is good!!

I will be in touch with Kevin again soon, to find out what we should have with us as far as food drink clothes ect ect ect.

He has all rods reels tackle that is included in are price.

[willy]

[Sean]

for 2 bills he should throw in a super model or two ;)

I thought thats what CB & MJ were ;D

[macojoe]

I am but CB :-/ he is on the edge!! ;)

[nipper]

Have fun guys. Wow, y'all are die hards going out fishing in December in the icy north Atlantic. Please take lots of pics.

[macojoe]

Thats January !! ;D

[nipper]

Even worse! Heck, if it was 12/20, it would not even technically be winter yet. You guys are going right in the thick of it!

[chumbucket]

8) ;D

[Sean]

I can't wait! Do I hear a pool for the biggest Cod? $20.00 bucks a head :P
I have a Calcutta 700 that I raped with 175 yards of 80lb Stren Braid with some backing, its hanging on a 7ft St. Croix Premier rated to 40lb, sounds heavy, but hopefully it's lite for what we are doing/catching 8).. Only 39 more days!! I can't wait ;D ;D

[Blue_Runner]

I have a Calcutta 700 that I raped with 175 yards of 80lb Stren Braid with some backing
I'm just curious - how the hell did you rape your Calcutta 700? That sounds like something Stinky would do in a thong video. ;D

[Sean]

;D, Stinkys videos is were I learn how to do everything ;D

[willy]

I'm in for a pool, I'll be the one dressed like the Michelin Man ;D

[macojoe]

Careful lover boy!! I can make it say what ever I want! ;)

[Sean]

38 more days ::)

[Monkey Butler]

Okay, my 20 bucks is in the pot for the biggest cawd.

But I thought we were targeting Haddock? Did I mention that I Luuuuuuvvvvvvvv.... haddock?

The back story... As a kid I grew up in the Inman Square area of Cambridge Mass. This is where Legal Seafoods had it's start as a fish market. Roger Berkowitz behind the counter filleting fish... Eventually they added on a small fry kitchen in the 70's. They sold fish n' chips (haddock) in a big cardboard basket for 69 cents. On Wednesday's (if I rember correctly) they had a special. First order 69 cents, second order .01 cents. Those was the days. Addicted to the haddock fish ever since...

[macojoe]

Cod is closed as far as I know, But there are pleanty of Haddock and Pollack

[Sean]

I love Haddock and Cod great eating ( I had a fillet last nice of haddolk, smothered in Ritz crackers and baked ;D).. Pollock, is alright, but does not freeze well, or I've been told.
I "think" there is a 2 fish limit for cod know in the area we will be fishing? I could be wrong though, never the less it will be a blast!
My buddies that go out on this boat usually make most of there monry back from the charter selling the fish to the local restraunts so they get to fish for free, with a freezer full of fillets as a bonus *;D

[macojoe]

DMF site says for Cod

Apr 01 - Oct 31 24 in 10 fish

Nov 01 - Nov 30 24 in 2 fish / person
(75 lb / boat)


Dec 01 - Feb 28 Closed


Feb 29 - Mar 31 24 in 2 fish / person
(75 lb / boat)


But I know care! I goingto love this trip!!

[Monkey Butler]

MJ,

Sorry for my lack of reading comprehension. I just want to make sure of the date.

I need to make plans for a relative to come down with a grave illness around that date or get called for jury duty for the sixth time in two years. Heaven forbid I put in for a vacation day in January.

Were on for Sunday, Jan. 20th 2008, correct? If it's a no-go due to weather then we go Monday, right. What if Monday's bad too? Not too unusual in January. Is it called or how many days do we kick it out? Should I set aside the whole week? That may require my MIL dieing (again).

Sean... where did you hear that Pollack doen't freeze well. As far as I know most every Fish Stick, Fillet-O-Fish Samich, and any frozen dinner labeled "White Fish" is frozen Pollack. Course most of us don't have our own Norweegian factory ship to freeze our catch.

[macojoe]

as far as I know those are the days, I will call the week before to make sure and watch the weather, I think we will have to stay to them 2 days as everyone can only hold on for so long.

If we can't then I guess we will try for the week after??

I am a little consernd also as there is a Full moon that week also, and there might be some big sea??


Pollick in Fillte form does not freeze all that good or for a long period as they are a soft fish,
Thats why its used for fish sticks and such cause they can grind it up.
But it is fine!! Get some fresh fillets and freeze, I have a food saver and that hold the meat toghter good. and the meat makes great fish cakes! ;)

[willy]

I thought we were planning monday with a tuesday snow date or whatever, I planned on driving up there sunday as I work until 9pm saturday :-/

[willy]

Ok thats 5 Yes, and one I need my passport to go some were else or I have to fish with that crew Airslot ;) MJ, CB, Sean, Willy, MB

So if Air goes we have 6!!

Dates guys!! I need dates, I have to let my job know buy the 14th if I want a day off next month.

Mondays are 7th, 14, 21, 28 remember we need to be a little flexable, Like the guy said if mon weather bad we go Tue or something like that. I am game for it all!!

So lets go!

We did say mondays and tuesdays, for a minute I thought maybe the single malt was affecting me poorly :)

[MonkeyButler]

We did say mondays and tuesdays, for a minute I thought maybe the single malt was affecting me poorly :)

I thought it started out with Monday, then there was cornfusion about whether MJ was using the Roman, Julian or Mayan calendar, then we had to factor in the full moon and leap year so it looks like we're now shooting for February 31st. Seriously, I can do any day as long as I kow in advance. If Sunday doesn't work for Willy then a Monday is okay with me.

[randlemanboater]

What happened to your name Monkey?

[Monkey Butler]

What happened to your name Monkey?

It's a long story but hopefully I'm back to my old self now...

[macojoe]

We can change for monday thats fine, I have to call the guy any way and get the details of what we should and should not bring.

He says be flexable cause of weather so I am sure there is no issue with monday!!

Who knows this week may never be any good cause of weather so we will just have to watch?

[Sean]

Sorry to say but I am going to need to pull out of this trip. Since Christmas Eve I have been in constant battle with some punk kid I rented a apartment to and it is now going to enter the legal phase. So far it has cost me well over $2,000.00 to fix what he has destroyed (electricicians and plubers arn't as cheap as i remebered) and never mind the punk isn't paying his rent. So right now I can't even pay my January mortgage, so going on a fishing trip won't fly by the wife.
Once it is all over and done with I will fill you guys in, but the kid is a computer guru (went to the army to avoid prison for computer fraud) and sue happy ( I know of two other people he is currently sueing) so I am not saying anything on-line until it is over. I also wont be around much until it is over as it is taking up all of my time and I am mentally exahusted.
Sorry again, and hopefully I can make it up to a few of you this upcomming summer if you want to make a trip down to Newport.

[Sean]

Hey, I just noticed I am God, maybe things are going to start looking up..

[willy]

good luck Sean, was looking forward to meeting you, my best friend is going thru a long distance version of what you are doing, he owns a three family in Alaska, he lives here in NJ, anyhow good luck.

[chumbucket]

Sorry to hear of your troubles Sean. I too was looking forward to meeting you. Hope things work out for you.

[macojoe]

Sorry for your troubles!!

Ok we have a opening!! If we don't fill that spot we 5 will have to add another $40 to are tabs, Any takers :huh:

[willy]

OK Wind Talker give me the breakdown for what we need equip wise, never fished for pollack or cod or whatever before, Not sure if I have what I need.
Also confirm the date for me. I am thinking leaving here sunday the 20th of January and being at your place which I am going to need an address for late in the afternoon. That is Jan 20th in the current year MJ. Fishing monday and leaving tuesday mourning with a full cooler, a little hangover and a Cape Cod super model or two.
Does that sound right so far.

[Airslot]

I'd love to have the spot, but I'm not sure if I'm coming home. I'm considering becoming an "illegal alien in Costa Rica." When I get home, er if, I got some stories that will only be told after Capt Morgan becomes involved :) Have avoided the Beetle Bar so far (Google that one) but man, this place is heaven on earth. It's so good, I even have forgot what day it is...and the rum is damn fine too....and the local talent..... :)



'Slot

[macojoe]

After being there and seeing and doing what you are doing, how coulkd you ever go out it the cold, no freezing weather wit 5 ugly guys dressed like polor bears??

But you can if you want to!!

[willy]

Hey MJ how about an answer to my previous question, got to make plans

[macojoe]

Hey how about answering your pm's?? :huh::huh:

[chumbucket]

ohhhh. Cat fight brewing................:p

[Sean]

Good luck guys, you are going to have a Blast... I get more pissed every day to what this punk is doing to me and my family... My wife started to cry when I told her I canceled the fishing trip...

Pay back is a .........
