brewster, walter, ed, if i left anything out please chime in

If you have a Sea Tow membership, when you show your card, you will get a 10% discount. I would suggest your advising them of that when making reservations. I think the place will make for a fantastic Rendezvous!

All the boats together, 75 steps to center of town, all facilities right there. Seems perfect in every way. The head of the dock and town superviser seemed very very happy to have us and make us welcome at their dock and in their town.

Are there hotels near the festivities?
Thanks.

john
yes there are, unfortunatly the harbor house thats by the marina is booked due to a wedding, i told the recepionist that maybe both of them will come to there sences and cancel, i gave her my card if there are any cancelation, the greenport motel is across the street, and plenty of b&bs.
ed boyd might be able to help some more on this topic, also if you pull up the link to greenport it should have places to stay,
hope you and your better half can make it john.

THe family of one of my employees owns the Silver Sands Motel, not right there but not too far away. If rooms are hard to come by let me know and I will ask him to set some aside.

Great job guys, thanks for the leg work. Mike

I agree! This will be another great one!!!!

Hey guys,
I'm needing a big favor. Would you men please send Pam, my wife, some E mails asking her to make the trip? The thing is, she's tightened up the purse strings due to trying to put back togetherReel Cowboy. The more that ya'll can lay it on thick, the better. I wouldn't be asking, but I really want us to attend. I'll owe you one. Her mail adress is pam.cranston @yahoo.com
Thanks for the help, everyone.

you got it john, but this might cost you big time in the long run.

when i made the sugestion greenport for this years get together i also had in mind to bring new faces together .i was fishing a few yers back at the greenlawn area across from this years festivities and notice a 31 bertram fbc with flag blue hull and no top at all . the boat had gold bootstripe and gold painted boat name on trasom does anybody know the boat? definitly local . this is one of the boat owners i would like to contact as well as the guys on fishers island .thanks to the hard work of our brothers this will be the best and you can be assured with brewster in the kitchen this will be the best one yet.

John,

Might run the idea of a making it a dude weekend by Pam.

If she's not real interested in making the trip, could probably make it on the cheap (relatively speaking).

bob...i dont know that one....but i know the owner of this one...ill see if i can get him to run over.

randall i never saw that one either. this is a older gentlemen and his boat is flawless i cannot believe nobody knows of this boat. i was in a 28 parker so and could not catch his attention. name might start with a B.

I know of four, from Shelter Island, Southold and Cutchogue, whose owners do not participate on this site - I will spread the word.

Greenport eh? Good by me so count me in. Now we can check the tide in Morriches and the Shinnecock Canal and figure which way to go.

This is going to be the big one! Not to be missed. The one you will tell the grandkids about.

Ed, Charlie, Brewster,
It worked! We're in. Charlie, I'd rather owe you then beat you out of something...Just kidding. Much thanks, my friends. Ed, thanks for the fantastic offer...that was incredibly nice of you...Pam sent you a E mail. Danny, I'll give you a buzz.
Thanks again, everyone.

john we were going to send pam another email just to let her know that in the last ten years we have been to many rendevous and that she has no excuse not to come. we have met many fun people that have become life long freinds looking foward to meeting you guys neil and family ps you have to buy me a beer cause i gave you the coupon yrs ago

i have a buddy who is a airplane photographer out here in greenport,i got him set up to shoot us sometime during the weekend,be pretty cool to have 30 plus 31 s in formation.,lets get the word out .perhaps we should put up a invite at the upcoming boat show at javits,can anyone make a sigh that looks legit?

thats great white bear even if they can show up for a hour or so just to meet people with common interest and no strings attached.

that sounds great tom, ill call you this week

We have never been to a redezvous. We are planning on Greenport. We will be on 'the other Phoenix'....Phoenix from Marblehead, MA. Really looking forward to it!

Ken,

See ya' there... You must be home instead of the shop. Or did you break down and get service to the shop? Oppsss, don't answer, no need to hijack Charlie's thread...

Br,

Patrick

Neil,
I have'nt forgotten. The rub rail came out nice...I'll bring some pics, and some beer.

Im trying to come up with activities for the group. One is pictures taken from a plane of all boats underway, group pictures, boat judging for prizes at the dinner, ect,ect,ect. Please help.

you win the most unique award hands down,i will have jr figure out some fun things to do

Good idea. But after seeing Cormorant Princess, I gotta' believe that the "Boat most feared by fish" category is pretty much locked up.

john fish dont fear brewsters boat,they are attracted to the smell

Fastest to tie a bimini twist does a shot.

Repeat

what is that a new dance

Its not the smell it 's the JUCIE

just throwing a idea out.that first week in august coincides with the large influx of fluke . within sight of green port is the greenlawn area of shelter island about 60' of water .brewster`s first though of tuna canyon fishing may not be in the scope of many of us with family children and wifes aboard but a little fluke derby less then a mile from the dock is within reason(excluding jp`s son) that is like competing againt brewster in a tuna tournament.anyways this is food for thought and not much in the way of fishing equipment . some of the boat will pool talent with four anglers on a boat.

rather JUICE think I need some

mike i am warning you don`t go near that "juice" lose your marbles in 5 minutes!!!

bob
that sounds like a great idea, if we have a season, or they dont shut it down by then, like they did last year.

hell bob........i can catch fluke.........and i know other spots in gardiners bay besides greenlawns. of course its less than an hour to where the real fluke are. follow walter.

bob ,good idea 20 bucks a boat the cash goes to patrick

Not fair, I cant bottom fish. Im really bad at it.

dont worry brewster, jr wants you on our boat he and uncle markie can catch

This is a tough one
drinking weekend with friends
or
fishing for a share of 1.0 million in WMO

I'll have to see how my pocket book looks in July.

How far is the Square from Montauk?

And if they don't arrest the out-of-staters for not having a NY State non-resident's fishing license which they probably won't be able to buy in Greenport on a Saturday.

jp does you outriggers fold back?if so you can go thru shennicock canal as mention by brewster 19' clearance . from 100 square to inlet about 90 miles .from the canal a short ride to greenport.
randall you are on my boat .i will bring enought rods for four.

The center rigger she no fold down so good

Go thru the canal and it will fold just fine...

Unfolding will be da problem.

you're on bob...i have my own fluke rod. its the only inshore fish i really like to eat. ok blackfish too. i even catch em from the canoe. but feel free to take me offshore ANYTIME.

jp the center rigger with definitly clear the bridge you have the same riggings i have my riggers clear easily with the push button attactment on the rupp rigger back brace just drop the rigger angle and they clear 19' my vhf ant, is two above riggers that has to fold down and one og the crew holds while we go under bridge.pick back up one minute later.
your on randall i have every color teaser and lure under the sun we do real well on fluke i just worry about jp`s kid pulling off some fancy livelining with squid .you should have seen this kid liveline a keeper bass under a docked boat at port judith -amassing

No problem Charlie. All we have to do is make first landfall in CT, buy a gallon of fuel, and keep the receipt. Then we'll be legal.

bob.....squid and spearing is what i usually use......but ive caught em with bucktails and holographic shad. (not at the same time)

normallly that is about the week the squid migration enters those waters from the east .and the fluke just about ambush them at the deep waters adjacent to the harbor. strip of squid with a green or pink teaser 8" up usually gets the big guys sometimes whole squid with teaser.
