Christmas is just around the corner and it looks like we are closing in on our last fishing weekend of the season here in Jersey. We'll close the season this year chasing "ghosts" off the beach (bluefin)
The boat will be on blocks by this time next week and I'll be full speed ahead in "Holiday Mode" running like an idiot to get something nobody needs.
So before I forget:
From my Family to yours, we'd like to wish all of our friends on this site the Merriest of Holidays, and Smooth Seas with Full Boxes for the New Year.
Thanks especially to Capt. Pat for creating this one little spot of reality in an otherwise chaotic world. It's been one hell of a year
May this be the best Christmas yet and 2012 bring a more peaceful and tolerant world.

JP, Thanks for keeping me in check with some of my off the wall newbie ideas. I appreciate the tough love Great call on the terez rods, had a bunch of bass and blues on them. Hope to get into the BFT in 2012.
Had a great time at the rendezvous, fly fishing with Brew, Walter and Randall as well as a number of run ins with the Lico family. Lunch during the winter with Tony Meola. And various help from Ed Curry including a new fish finder which works great! Snooping around on Craig Macs boat and a good Italian lunch.
I don't want to leave anyone out, but you get my point, you've all welcomed me as a friend in the past year. If I knew that all this came with my old junky gasser 31 I would have done it long ago.
i have to thank this board for bringing together a brotherhood center around a bertram 31. i look forward to meeting peter palmieri with his 31 bertram as we idle along side each other with other boats going by giving us the long stare.well another year is gone and i hope the brotherhood enjoys the holidays and good health for next year.
Here is to a great Holiday Season and an outstanding 2012.
Unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to meet enough of the family, but it still feels like we are all old friends even if we haven't all met.
Without this board I would have met some great people. Gotten to know a couple of members, watching Greg (Thumbs up) make unbelievable progress on his 30 Chris Craft. Yes not a Betram, but you guys have to see his work. He really should post pictures.
Here's to everyone and hoping to meet more of the faithfull in the future.
JP, Whiptails n whitetails and smiles ear to ear...makin memories to last a lifetime...a Merry Christmas to you and your family...BH

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all the faithful.
