My bid is $1,001.00.

Though not counting towards the bid, it will be 100% company matched.

Thank you for your service GregW.

Super Strike,,,,
 
1 Attachment(s)
Last year there was only ONE plug that was working and working well under the bright moon on Block,,,,

Eels were not getting touched.....

IT worked so well after that night I OVERNIGHTED ALL the SUPER STRIKES in that color to BLOCK and we crushed fish for a few more nights on them,,,,, 7 hours, 6 hours, 5 hours on the same rocks on consecutive nights,,,,, Can't say enough about Super Strike....


Sorry I was slow with this but when we were just under the $1000 bid....

Steve from Super Strike sent me an email with hopes ANOTHER (Super Stike has made a few donations Already this year) donation may help us get to the $1000 mark.....


So Super Strike is donating some plugs especially for BLOCK to the winner.....

Lets thank the Musso's for their donations and most importantly some of the BEST lures EVER made,,,,,

Nice bid RI Bass!

DZ

Dennis is absolutely correct,,, and a master at it...... EXCELLENT fishing can be had on Block in waders.... Last year when the surf was 9-10ft we hit some nice fish in waders standing in ankle deep water..... VERY versatile place..... this trip was put together to asccomodate ANY style....

I had a lot of success on Super Strike plugs last year.

EARLY DINNER
 
1 Attachment(s)
OK... Al Lemire from Lemire's Plugworks has donated an early dinner for the WHOLE crew on Wed June 13th.

This dinner will be at 4pm and served at the
Narragansett Inn. It will be a private dinner for this crew only with no wait since they will not be open yet..... Al came up big......

Narragansett Inn on Block Island

He is also donating a package of plugs to the winner.....

Can't thank Al enough......

Hmm,


I was going to say Check-Mate as i can not bid the amount that would have been worthy of RI Bass with the 100% company match (I know it does not count towards the auction) to this great cause. I Think we all will agree the trip will be unbelievable (and a price really can not be put on it) any way you look at it. As a veteran, the respect i have for ALL past present and future vets out there (and the great things that are done with this organization) i wanted to gracefully step out and allow the company match to add to this great cause and make a personal donation.


Good luck to whom ever wins this now

GregW, would you please post a link to where i can make a donation, and thank you for your service

Bid 2
 
I will bid $1,200 for this opportunity to support our troops and fish until I'm a useless lump in mid-June. (still w/ company match, etc...)

GattaFish 04-30-2012 04:05 PM

One hour to go.... and I can't thank the bidders enough,,,,,

TB..... I know DZ plans to spill it... Pat and Gary have their secrets and stories to share........ Pete wants someone to go Large... Julio is a sleeper but I have seen him pull fish when it is DEAD over there.....that is when he doesn't miss the ferry.....:uhuh:

Most importantly the guys bidding are bidding for the cause.... and that type of bidding will be rewarded..........

Stay tuned.....

I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for this to end, I wonder if there will be a bidding surge at the end

I would rather see guys bid now instead of trying to sneak something in at the last minute,,,

The idea is to raise money for a great cause....

Not to sneak a bid in last minute for a fishing trip,,,,,

RI Bass 04-30-2012 05:05 PM

It was agreed that the company match wouldn't count, so congratulations to FishMTK as much as it pains me to say it. I'll make a donation though not in the same amount.

I wasn't meaning company match. I could have thought wrong with 1800 (6:00) post got it, or the entire
Minute but fishmtk did get last post before 6 (and the last one before 6:01) so well see.

Either way congrats to the winner
