Pete, I'm still out here!! Where's everybody at? I can't hold our spot forever.
But seriously folks...I did go out fishing at 8am up around the BI, OCC/DCC and The Dike. About 10 short fluke and one 19" keeper. Headed back around 11:30 and got killed with a heavy storm on the way in...had to slow to just above idle and couldn't see shit. Heavy rain but, thankfully, no lightning.
Good call on the rain date 'cause, according to current radar, there's is a lot more comin'.
I was packing up to shoot over when it started teaming. It saved me a fight with the wife. I thought of Old Pete being out there with the 2 yo and the pregnant wife on a center console and just cringed, I know my wife would not be any where near understanding. I would have gotten served with divorce papers.

Boobs or spark plugs if it has them it will be fun and give you problems.
My wife kept asking where are all these people from that THT thingy. Actually she used the word wimps..
Well let me tell you, it was actually a GREAT day out at Tices. Yes it rained, but it never poured, more of a gentle rain/drizzle. No lightning or thunder. The worst of it only lasted about 10 minutes. People never even got out of the water.
It was calm and empty. It was actually a nice break from the oppressive heat we've been having. We had about 5 boats from my marina out there. We we all swimming around visiting, drinking, eating.
After the storm rolled out it got even better. The bay was like a lake with a gentle breeze. We took inventory and decided to stay the night.
Nothing like waking up and looking out the porthole to see the sun starting to rise over IBSP. I would have missed it if it wasn't for the 2 jetskis
blowing past between me and the shore.
Made a pot of coffee and hung out till the crowd started rolling in.

I know what you mean -- the problem was that you're coming from across the bay @ Forked River. There are people that are coming from the other side of the bridge in LBI -- it wouldn't have been a great idea for them to run up for it... especially a bunch had young kids, etc.
Rain was sort of a blessing... we blew the port engine on the ol Regulator 4th of July weekend. She ran like a dream the weekend before the 4th... all the way to the wilmington and back. Took the kids for a tube ride on the 4th and blammo. Unfortunately, we will miss the rain date also.
Not sure if I can make it this weekend - The wife is in Pa. with the kids and not expected to return until Sat. - if I have some time, I might take a quick ride out to say hello.

Pete, what time will you be there? I have shit to do in the AM but fugure I can be up there around 12:30. Can't hang around long 'cause we have a party back at my house. Just want to come up and see who has the nicest SH 24?? Think it might be mine..... Obviously, I'm kidding.
Anxious to check out your boat and finally meet you. Let me know. Jack
Hi Jack -- Yup... we'll be there... it's gonna be a hot one.
If I screwed up the coords... I'm sorry. Just look for the fisherman's walkway (it's a wooden dock with about 100 boats all around it.) I'll be the blue hulled Sea Hunt with a 8+ month pregger girl and a 2 year old boy... say Hello!
Not a huge turn-out, but still lots of fun to meet those that were there!
Thanks to Steve and Mark, now I can say I did the "tie-up"!
Nick, with the nicest looking hull I've ever seen!
Pete, I was there around 12:20 and cruised up and down until about 12:45. Didn't see your boat. Called you on 09 and 68..no response. Stoxbonds was out at the tires and heard me hail you and called me up. Said he tried to call you earlier and also got no response. Sorry I missed you.
Jack, we were there, had the red throwable on the tip of the boat pole, all the way up on the T-Top. Was there until around 3:00 and then when we were leave spotted reelnauti (who by then had been found by hlights2... who had stopped by earlier. We rafted up and had a great swim and BS session. Before that I met up with nickmo and his wife -- great folks - everyone was really cool.
I called Dave (stoxbonds) back I had been out earlier yesterday and didn't go outside today.
We scored great on Friday AM - a total of 12... was back at the dock before noon.
I tried to keep the radio on, but between the baby crying, all the swimming and the people around... it was tough. I figured nobody could miss the red throwable up there!
Any time you want to get together, just let me know!
Pete,
We had a great time meeting you and your family. I hadn't been at Tice's for quite a while and had a blast. Thanks for all your work putting it together. Love your boat, especially those fuel burn numbers.
Nick
