I think Veraka ass-posted his comment.

Looks like it's only getting to 18 on Saturday. Ouch!

Weather Underground is saying now snow past today. I have now given up on the weather channel, its good back ground noise on the TV but cant stand the website.

WU says very cold and windy the next three days. Should really capitalize on the ice making potential.

Just a reminder to pack in your own shiners. I'm picking up 6 dozen for my crew on Friday AM.

Tell me more

The liquor store in town is selling shiners but its one size only and he isnt opening early to sell them. Says he will open at 6 but it hasnt been happening so like the man say bring your own shiners.

I'm loving the this cold weather! ;-).

So, we're leaving here around noon on Friday. If anybody has trouble, feel free to call me at 781-439-1918.

We'll be out there around 5 AM on Saturday AM pulling out the gear.

Matty will likely come by to collect the entry fee from the teams (remember it's $20 this year).

He'll also be doing the weighing.

Follow the BBQ smoke to our table and say hi. We'll have sausage, beach plum vodka, and fun.

Stay warm, everybody!

Any blackberry brandy?

I still have what you left in the sled last year, Kevin.

I should have some venison burger.

Just don't make it venison sloppy joes.

Is there a pike division? Or is it all around biggest fish?

Gotta ask Matty....I hate to have a pike only prize and not come back with one.

I'll try to post something before we leave tomorrow, Jay.

He usually has some sort of weird prize structure in his head.

Does anyone have an address that I can put into my GPS that would get me close the where we are fishing? At ungodly hour of the morning that I am going to be driving, without a GPS to guide me, forget-about-it! ;-) THANK YOU in advance.

No biggie. I just won't pay to play. I'm gonna set 5 BIG dead baits out on steel for Pike and hang out.

It looks like l am out guys......truck is OOC. Broke down for the second time this week and currently sitting in a garage

TDF if you want a ride you can hop in with me. Just will have to pare your gear down a bit.

We can certainly make a biggest pike award, Jay. If nobody gets one, we'll collapse the prize.

360,
You can use 6 Champeaux Rd, Sturbridge, MA. Pass the house and keep going down the hill and you'll see the parking lot on the right.

Picking up bait on the way home from work tonite. If i get myself out of bed at a reasonable time tomorrow I'll be out there freezin' with you...

See you guys in the am

Thank you Rick!

What.... none of you guys have smartphones with you???? How about some updates?:nopics: Hope you are having fun and catching!

I was just thinking the same thing Ross... I'm stuck on a party bus bound for Foxwoods and was hoping for some pics to pass the time between Jello shots... Maybe the action is fast and furious... ❔

I talked to Peter and he said he was freezing his nuts off.

Kudos to the Bombas for making this happen, despite Mother Nature's foul mood. ;-)

Stupid cops!!!

Yeah,
Good time. Very cold. Thanks to all who came. Also big thanks to Kevin for coming to Mikey's rescue.

I ended up driving back and forth to Sturbridge twice today. Glad everybody's home and safe.

Next year new venue.

Later,
Rick

OK, come on. You can't put up a post like that without an explanation. What happened????
