Thanks Chris

Just had to say thanks again to Chris and the whole crew for putting this together.
Had a great time once again, food was great and nobody got hurt

I second that. Thanks Chris and the rest of the crew for all your time & hard work putting this event together. It was nice meeting all you guys. i had a good time and the tog fishing was alot of fun. Not to mention the nice rod/ reel combo I won at the raffle. Thanks again for an awesome weekend. I hope to get back over there again soon. Also do you have an e-mail for who donated the rod/reel combo so I can send a thanks to them for their support of the sport/ event.

Ditto.
Great job Chris, Jon, Charlie and all.

Also thanks to Tim and Jeremy for providing me with guidance for my first back bay and inlet outing. I caught fish (Tog, blue, flounder), didn't loose any tackle, didn't get lost on the water, and didn't swamp at a bridge piling or jetty. A very positive expericnce excepting getting skunked at the raffle (maybe I need a Hobie to improve my odds, ha, ha)

Joe

Agreed

Thanks has to go to Chris, Mullet, Lunchbox and the rest of the crew. Had a great time, caught some fish, made new friends, and spent time with a few old ones. The kayak fishing community constanly impresses me and this weekend was great example of how good the people are that are involved in this sport.

Thanks again!

Glad to hear u had fun...any time u wanna hit the shore u know where to get me. Btw I modified the tog rig I tied for you...a little harder to tie now but it shouldn't tangle when you catch a fish.

Probably the best weekend I've had fishing in a while. Proved that one can sit on a kayak for almost 19 hrs strait if the seat is good enough. The wind made me quit long before the seat was an issue. I'll be attending next year and WILL be entering the calcuttas. My 20" blue and 18" weakie are still mocking me. Big thumbs up to the guys who set this up...and glad to see such a great organization get supported by so many great fishermen. if you guys ever need help setting up this or any other GTG just let me know.

Thanks again to Chris and gang, and Heroes on the Water for another great event. Super fun time with plenty of tog action! Thanks everyone!

Just wanted to jump in and second everyones thoughts here.

I feel that it is rare to have such a large/growing group of people be able to get together and pull something like this with minimal problems.

I enjoyed and will def. continue and do my part to try and get the word out about HOW and this growing sport /community.

Thanks again..

PS Thanks to the entire crew of orginaizers/ sponsers that donated their time and products... and to the TKFS for all they do for this area.

Adding my thanks to Chris and his crew! I had a great time, stayed in one piece, and am now lusting after a Caribbean 14 (Thanks for fueling the fire, SeaFlea!). As usual, I'm proud to be a member of the Wolfpack, which did a fine job with "Beers of the World".
Tight lines, Artie

Thanks Guys, once again had a great time,food was fantastic. All the time everyone put into the jamboree really showed and can only get bigger and better from here.Good job to all. Skip

Great job guys! Total success!! Please let us know when the #'s come in for HOW!!!

You are all very welcome! Thank you all for the kind words and for showing such a strong level of support to HOW! Together, we all raised $4000!!!! That is going to go a long way to helping get our Heroes get to the water!!!

The level of assistance that we received this year was amazing. Firstly, I have to thank Bob "Mullet" Miller, Charlie "Seaflea" Hackman, Charlie "Lunchbox" LaBar, and my wife Christina. These guys went above and beyond the call. Not only doing what needed to be done for the event and the store, but for helping me personally. None of this would have happened without you guys.

Butch "Butch." Newell, Matt Williams, Dennis "Piney" Barns from NJ HOW and all of the sponsors, donators, and folks that rolled up their sleeves to lend a hand! You will all be mentioned in my wrap up article when completed.

Even though JonS and I are part of the TKFS crew, I want to personally thank Paul "Rockbro" Zuzock. Paul went into pocket to cover the expenses associated with that great meal we shared. Thank you Paul!
