Only managed a couple of rats but did witness Eben drop a nice fish (20# class) at his feet. Fish took one look at us and spit the jig right out. Oh well, next time.


OOPS, this should have been an edit and not a quote:laughs: :laughs: must be tired:o

:exp: :scream2: :tm: :bc: :poke: :skulz: :crying: :hang: :exp: :tm:

aaaah, the one that got away

Glad to see everyone again this year hope you all had a good time. A special thanks to the LINK's that was some of the best food I have had off the grill in a long time. :cheers:

Wish I had some time to have talked with a few more people but it was crazzzzzy in the shop.:smash:
Just glad the Swan Festival was posponed till Sunday. Parking was awfull downtown today.

Definitely a good time - wish I had been able to get there sooner - even though I'm more available on weekends than I used to be, my business and the B&B are just starting to hit their full stride right now. And trying to get the other new biz off the ground has me doing a whole lot of extra legwork on top of everything else.

I dunno, I remember someone saying that getting into a fishing-related business can be fun just so long as you don't wanna fish yourself...

Anyway, had a good time, sorry I missed most of the barbie but did get to meet a few more of the crew I hadn't met yet and see a lot of familiar faces too - now I can say I fished the Ditch as well.

Can't say I slayed 'em, but I can say I've done it. At least the rocks were real familiar, that small riprap like Cliff Walk, sorta like balancing a Bongo Board on broken bricks. Yup, just like home. Too bad I ended up with all 'salad' and no meat.

The pluggage was scary - Mr. Pogie's, Newell Guys (the chicken scratch swimmer is something else), saw Fixters, etc etc - what a display.

Didn't see the Wee Man (yeah, Ben, Maui can just wear ya out, I'll bet) :smash:, but from what I hear about Link's skills on the grill, FWW's tenure at the coals is in jeopardy. Didn't get to try it, me and Eben had to settle for some BK drive-thru on the way to the Ditch. Didn't matter, I was so hungry I could have eaten the ass off a low-flying duck by that point.

The only downside was driving back to Newport after a 20 hour day and no power nap. Thank God for jelly donuts and Pepsi's - as it was I was so tired I was almost seeing things on the road by the time I got to NB - and still had a ways to go. Man, next time I'll pull over and crash for an hour - I'm waaaay too old to be that stupid anymore :rolleyes:

Maybe next time we could do something closer to homebase if anybody's interested in a mid-season warm-up.

Hey, you know how old guys hate to drive that far (with a directional signal on all the way from Wareham to FR :laughs:

Again, thanks to all - good to see ya :btu:

Thank you for Mike and Barbara for hosting the event. The Links did a great job on the grill:) It was good to meet up with you all.

was it anyone from here at N.H in wellfleet on friday night with 2 trucks with race stickers ? i was the other truck with a race sticker, wondering how you did, i was to the right of you, fishing the n edge................?

Always a good time to chat with the s-b bunch.
