grampa1114 Posted October 22, 2011 Author Posted October 22, 2011 Let's just see if we can pull Saturday off first...The list is rapidly changing...We've got 3 boats and 2 non-boaters...here's your chance guys...next candidate wins......Jones508...Jigfishin10...and.................... Quote
Jones508 Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Sounds good. I also have some time off the second half of this week if anyone is down for a recon mission before Saturday. Quote
GrundleLove Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 I'm probably out on this one. Just cant juggle the time factor.Good luck though. Side note, why hasent the Charles River ever been suggested yet? It's pretty equidistant from everyone and is a great fishery. I went Kayaking on the Charles on Sat and brought my rod and landed 5 bass in 6 casts...and on the 6th cast I landed a perch. It was d**n fun. Just saying, I know people like fishing lakes but nothing wrong with the Charles. Quote

Just saying, I know people like fishing lakes but nothing wrong with the Charles. I didn't realize you were so shy. Speak up man. You should have said something or suggested it. I didn't suggest it because I know nothing about it. I like fishing anywhere, lakes, ponds, rivers or mud puddles. To all, suggestions are welcome. Got a place you'd like us to go, let us know and we'll do what we can to accomodate. The goal is to get to meet other members from this area, and to introduce others to places they haven't fished, and that includes the boaters. Quote
GrundleLove Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 GrundleLove .... 6 fish on 6 casts is awesome! Sorry to hear you can't make it on Saturday, there won't be much fishing left this season so if something changes and there is still a seat open you're welcome to attend. What stretch of the Charles are you referring to? My office overlooks the graveyard stretch of the Charles in Waltham and my curiosity is certainly peaked to fish that river. I think one concern with the Waltham area is the ramp over by Moody St has limited parking. Tate The area where I launched was in Newton. Legit perfect conditions for bass, or any fish. Was sparked my curiousity was that they were biting SO EFFIN WELL. I was using a little smelt minnow that Gramps uses with a 1/16th jig head,...2 twitches and bam, fish. was remarkable. I wish I could have fished more but I was the only one on a single kayak and wanted to stay with the group. I really want to go back. What was even more awesome was that for a single kayak for 1.5 hours it only cost me 11 dollars. I would pay that all day and all night to fish it. I also saw 2 bass boats roll through so I am assuming the fishing there is great. I also realized that there is so much of the river that is legit equidistant from everyone of us...so i just thought it makes sense. Honestly, its the drive that is killing me to some of these places, its tough to say that without sounding like a ***** but it's true. I just wish we fished we longer is all. that being said, its a d**n good time so that's why I am so torn and you guys are freakin awesome to fish with..no contest there. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted October 24, 2011 Super User Posted October 24, 2011 Sorry to hear you can't be there Grundle. How would fishing the Norton Res sound for a future spot? Quote
freebie Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 I got a chance to fish with gramps today. if the rest of you guys are anything like he is then I'm looking forward to next year and getting to meet some of you. side note...had a great day of fishing today. Quote
grampa1114 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Posted October 24, 2011 The Woerd Ave boat ramp accesses that stretch of water. We can fish that with canoes, rowboats, kayaks, bassboats, did I leave anybody out? We can also fish it any time somebody says Hey...Let's fish there. This is an "Open Forum" and we love fresh ideas. Got it? Grampa Freebie...you're welcome back anytime. Quote
grampa1114 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Posted October 24, 2011 Grundle.....Buddy....I'm saddened to hear that your busy schedule can't include us. But....I promise to fish some Grundlized worms just so the fish won't know that you couldn't make it. Grampa Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted October 25, 2011 Super User Posted October 25, 2011 Sounds like you and granpa had a great day freebie. Quote
Jones508 Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 You weren't lying when you called this the frostbite gathering. A high of 41? I'm soooo not ready for this. http://www.weather.com/weather/5-day/Worcester+MA+USMA0502 Quote
freebie Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Sounds like you and granpa had a great day freebie. we did, it started out real tough but got better later on. learned a few things too. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted October 26, 2011 Super User Posted October 26, 2011 Snow on Saturday? It'll make for a good trip, but a little too early to be spreading white mulch on the plant beds... Quote
freebie Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 A little snow is ok but PLEASE not a winter/snow like last year! I'm good with warm cloths for Sat but following Rhino's lead I might pick up a couple golf gloves to keep the fingers warm but the gloves are thin enough to not encumber rod and reel handling. Tate when it's cold I steal a pair or two of my wifes little finger gloves(the real thin cheapy ones) and cut off the fingertips. I find it lets me do what I need with my line but keeps the rest of my hands warm enough that it doesn't bother me. I find I catch more fish when wearing the pink ones for what it's worth. Quote
grampa1114 Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 . I find I catch more fish when wearing the pink ones for what it's worth. Hmmmmm.....I bet you're as cute as a bunny too.......... By the way...Forecast is getting better and better. Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted October 27, 2011 Super User Posted October 27, 2011 Don't get the regular golf gloves. The ones I have are rain gloves which are a little thicker than the thin leather or fake leather gloves. And, be sure to get them for both hands. Golf gloves are sold as singles. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted October 28, 2011 Super User Posted October 28, 2011 I just got an e-mail that notified me that my son's hockey team will be starting tomorrow morning instead of tonight. Guess who'll be a rink rat dad? Sorry guys, I have no political spin up my sleeve when it comes to hockey. Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted October 28, 2011 Super User Posted October 28, 2011 Forecast is calling for low 70's. Where you guys going fishing? Florida? Quote
Jones508 Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 So do we have enough non boaters? I'm still in regardless, it might be my last chance to fish this year. I could ask my friend if he wants to go but I can't promise you anything. Unless 2 boaters wanted to pair up then maybe we'd be all set? Anybody else? Don't be shy Quote

Super User Fishing Rhino Posted October 28, 2011 Super User Posted October 28, 2011 It's get together eve. Have you all been good little children? Dress warmly. The next get together will probably be called "The Icebreaker". Jigfishn, we'll miss you, but we understand that family obligations come first. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted October 28, 2011 Super User Posted October 28, 2011 I went to a second interview, came home and switched my line out, organized my tackle and put everything in my truck, ready to go...then I checked my e-mail and got the bad news...LOL Good luck out there guys! Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted October 28, 2011 Super User Posted October 28, 2011 I asked a friend I fish with a couple days ago .... he said yes last night .... I told him so sorry as Rhino's friend Joe was going to join so no extra seat ..... now with Jiggy out I just called him back so I would like to give him a chance to respond by lets say 7:30. No worries @deaknh we be fishing in Woooster .... Lake Quinsig Worecester. How about you join us sometime? .... I know licenses is an issue but I would like to hit a NH lake/river or perhaps you come South and join us on a Ma lake/river. Tate Tate, I would love to, probably next spring. We have some nice lakes up here I could show you guys. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted October 28, 2011 Super User Posted October 28, 2011 Derrick, you should try and make some of these next year. You'd have some fun for sure! Out of state license are pretty friendly (I think it was $10 more than in-state this year) compared to, say Maine which was like $80 for out of state. I know Rhino originally set this up as an Eastern MA thing, but you're in like Windham/Derry, which is an extension of Eastern MA, besides, we can smell your Derry Air... Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted October 29, 2011 Super User Posted October 29, 2011 Set up for convenience. Anyone is welcome in state, or out of state. Quote
