It was pretty good. OTW did a great job considering the weather situation. The band was a little loud for my 5 year old son

, but he was digging all the fishing stuff.
As with any gathering, the best part for me is seeing old friends and shooting the breeze.

I felt like I was at a college dance. Walking around trying to find someone to talk with, when it was too loud to hear, and they'd rather be seen with someone else. Ended up talking to Stiffy, which is kinda like hitting on the ugliest girl at the dance. Oh well.

I think they did a good job considering the rain. It got hot under that tent. I think if the weather would have been nice there would have been a little more room and not have been so loud. Nice job by the OTW guys................I gave away like a grand in sebiles to the little ones...that was nice.

The best thing----the food from the Black Dog

Black Dog food at Buzzards Bay prices--they dropped the lobstah roll from $12 to $8. $5 got you a big sausage/peppers/onion roll on fresh baked bread.

The worst, as expected---the beer. The first (free) one was piss warm, and of course, it was Gansett

Does anyone miss the oompah band?

Saw everything and everyone I wanted to see in 15 minutes, then it was find Numby and Sauerkraut and head for the door. Music was too loud and wasn't that good. I liked the oompah band better.

Congrats to Bob Larson for winning the boat, Bob had a rough year surviving prostate cancer and was most deserving as he is one of the nice guys in fishing.

Red Top really appreciated the event being dwon the street. I did bring some heavy pressure on the local fishing. I walked out to one of my spots and lo and behold were a couple guys in NY plated trucks in wetsuits going out to the bar. I went back to my truck and sacked out figuring there goes the neighborhood.

Stiffy was working up a sweat selling OTW gear. How many were give aways? Hmmm............

Kudos to Chris and Neal and the rest of the OTW gang for putting it on, it's a sh!tload of work.

Great time.

I echo the comments on the band just way to loud for the inside of a tent in the rain. If the band had been outside it would have been OK I guess. To me, going to an event like that is to talk to friends you haven't seen in awhile, not to listen to a bunch of old guys play old rock and roll, badly. I can do that is any number of crummy bars in New England.

Good putting names with faces and seeing TT, JR, Redlite Jimmy S, BB and meeting a bunch of new folks that are on the board but who I had never met in person.
