GrundleLove Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Sign me up. I messed up my engine last time I went out and snapped my Abu Garcia Veritas in half 3 days ago. How did I do that you might say? I t was sticking out of the back window and i rolled up the window. Thus. breaking it and me going ballistic at my stupidity. As for my engine, its so so. I snapped the rod that holds the shaft to the transom, only thing i need is a carriage bolt so no big deal. BUT if i could grab a boat spot with someone else, that would be great, if not, no problem. PM me if you want my awesomeness presence to grace your boat, right Rhino? Rofl, i'll bring my own Senkos this time edit: will 100% contribute to gas for boat as well obviously. Quote
tate Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Ok folks ..... 7/23 is less than 2 weeks away.... I think it is time to get a count on who would be able to make it and decide if there is enough interest to make it worth trying to coordinate a get together. I can make it on the 23rd at Whitehall in Hopkinton Ma. - brian Quote
ukbumpkin Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 I can make 7/23, but as mentioned would becoming as a non-boater. Quote
grampa1114 Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 OMG are we finally settling on a date....Who's coming...Boater...Non boater...can we get a show of hands please... Boater. 7/23 Whitehall, Hopkinton. Quote
Jones508 Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 I'm new to the forum still, but I'd love to get in on this. Unfortunately I am a non boater, but of course can provide gas, food, or other goodies to pass the time. No hard feelings if I cant get a seat but I've never fished there and it would be a great time to learn something new Quote

By the way...Welcome Aboard. Hey guys who's coming and what time is "on time"? I'm thinking 6:30-7:00. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted July 12, 2011 Super User Posted July 12, 2011 I can tag along with a boater if someone wants to put up with my nonsense...23rd works for me! Of course I will help out in the monetary dept. Quote
tate Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 I'll have a seat open on my boat.....6:30-7:00 would be my preference but I am not driving far so lets hear from some of the folks with a bit of drive. - brian Quote
ukbumpkin Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 6:30-7 on the 23rd sounds good to me. I'll be coming from Newton so not to far for me to go. Aaron Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted July 12, 2011 Author Super User Posted July 12, 2011 OK. I can be there. Room for two, provided all are careful and pay attention. Two of us on the bow, one on the stern. At Kentucky Lake we fished three from my boat with one in the cockpit. A cast by one of the guys, snagged the line of the fellow at the rear who had just finished retying a bait. Ended up with a hook buried in his thumb when his line was snagged by the bait being cast. Took a trip to a clinic, where they sent us to the ER at a local hospital. They removed the hook. I don't want a repeat, so a note to all, before casting, make sure no one is in the line of fire. As for the time, I'm coming from Westport, but can be there at the crack of dawn, or anytime thereafter. Quote

tate Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 oh oh .... just checked the DCR web site for the tournament schedule and there are tournaments on both days. Not sure if Whitehall is still decent to fish when there is a tourney there buts perhaps one of the more experienced guys may know. DCR list 30 parking spaces.

Can't wait for this. I'll PM you my # Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted July 15, 2011 Author Super User Posted July 15, 2011 Eight days, and counting. Anyone got a portable, tailgating type grille? I'll bring the hot dogs, rolls, mustard and relish. If we do it, I'll also bring a cooler with cans of Coke, and Sprite, as well as bottled water. BYOB if that's your beverage of choice. Quote

I've got a portable I will bring, not as big as one of those Coleman On The Road grills but it works fine. I'll bring some burgers, buns, catsoup and beverages. Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted July 18, 2011 Author Super User Posted July 18, 2011 OK guys, we're five days out. It would be nice to get a final count of who's coming. Hot dogs and hamburgers after the fishing, so we need to know how many to bring. Hope everyone interested makes it. Should be a lot of fun. Quote
ukbumpkin Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 I will be making it and let me know if anyone has a food and/or beverage request I can bring along? Quote
tate Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I'm all set ..... looking forward to it. See you guys at the ramp around 6:30 - 7:00. - brian Quote
GrundleLove Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I probably wont be able to make it unfortunately. My boat's got issues and I cant find the time to take a look at it this week as well as I'm sure any non boater spots have been fulfilled I cant imagine there would be room. No big deal I guess I missed the boat on this one ( no pun intended). If i'm wrong shoot me a PM, but I dont have high hopes. Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted July 19, 2011 Author Super User Posted July 19, 2011 I know Jones will be there. UKBumpkin is in. The three boaters will be there. So, if Grundle and Jigs (let us know for sure) go, we'll have enough room for all to fish. I can take two with me. Grampa can take one, and Tate at least one, so that accomodates the four non-boaters. All this is barring unforseen circumstances. Hopefully, this works out well so we can do another "mini" road trip for the guys/gals in eastern MA. Out of staters are also welcome, but you'll need a MA license. I'd like to see this develop into a regular thing, with a "special" weekend outing to a place like Lake Champlain, once a year. Quote
