Welcome back to The Gamblorama!

This is the archive of an annual fishing trip that has taken place every Father's Day weekend since 1977. It's 5 close friends that started the trip in 1977 when most were in their mid-twenties. Another joined the gang for his first trip in 1982. Others have come and gone over the years but it has been the same six guys since the early 1980's. Al Davis first joined us in 1995.

The best time of the year for fishing is June, which is why we chose Father's Day Weekend. When it started, most of us did not have children, so leaving on Father's Day was not a big deal. When the children finally came along, we had their blessings. With that, most of us have never been home for Father's Day.

Gambling and games of chance seem to go hand in hand with guys and fishing trips. With some trips being rainouts, games of chance were the main event of the weekend. In the early 2000's, the fishing trip weekend was renamed "The Gamblorama" weekend. Sure, we still fish but Gamblorama sounds more fun!
