Ok , we kicked this around. We are down to sept 15 or Sept 22. Lets nail one down. Its just two weeks away. After we pick a date we still got to nail down the details of where , exact times , etc.

My vote is for Sept 15 since that leaves us more time to get the RI leg in before too late in October. However , sept 22 is an excellent second choice.

Time to make an executive decision John. 15th or 22nd for the Mass. leg.

John, I'll be away those dates, but I'll likely be hitting the south shore Friday night (14th) if you want to do some scouting.

A little pre-vacation fishing to get the ball rolling.

Let me know what you're thinking for a possible MV run too.

I say the 15th too as the tides are better IMO... Schoolie, more than happy to scout...

The 15th BC and I will be loading up for MV so that date is out for us, but don't hinder the tournament because of that, that date may work better for the rest of you guys, we can always try and do the RI leg as things will be slowing down for us then.

15th is best for me.:D

So far it looks ok for me .

The 15th is good by me..........Let's Fish! :)

I have to work on the weekend of the 15th . I'll be on the cape the 22nd . but what ever date it doesnt matter , maybe I can get the RI leg in Oct .

OK - I vote for the 15th as it does give us more time between dates and less conflicts with other things and flings.... Meet at the same place? Or maybe the parking lot next to the water behind M&D's? MikeCC - you up for that and are you up for fishing this too?

I talked to Mike T and he says its OK to use his shop , M+D's main St wareham , as Grand Central for this gathering. What time we want to meet?

Looks like I'll bring the gas grille again. Is it the 15th or the 22nd?

The earlier we meet the better.then we can get fishing........

I just hope someone catches something over 36". do bluefish count;)

Cool - the 15th (Maybe I can hit MV on the 22nd :D :D :D )

Bluefish over 59 inches count...

High tide is around 10:30 pm in most Mass spots, sunset should be about 7:30-8:00. We would want to hit the roads by 6 I'd think. How does 4pm sound?

What are the official tourney hours. I vote for 1 hour before sunset Friday night to one hour after sunrise Sunday morning.

Done. as long as your fishing with another qualified member.... But we'll make it two hous before and two hous after just to extend the potential bite a little....

EVERYONE - Please remember that only fish caught and released alive will qualify... Thank you very much, Viel Be Heeah altza veek...

Good point John. This is a catch and release tourney. Last thing you want to do is catch a winner then lose cause you kept it.

Slipknot has the grill , I'll bring the Strawberry Shortcake!! :)I need to know if Got Stripers is coming. If he is , I need extra Strawberry Shortcake. He's an Incredible Eating Machine! :)

Hey Mr. Kav - you coming this time or are you going to WIMP OUT again? :p :p :p :p

I'll do the shrimp again guys...........

It looks like I can make it! Now comes the hard part, where to fish. Ditch, Ditch, Ditch or maybe closer to home.

While I'm going to miss the friendship and the strawberry shortcake :( , I hope to be enjoying nothing but a loon song or two in the woods of Maine. I'm heading out the middle of that week, for a 4-5 day camping trip with my brother-in-law. It's one of hopefully two fall trips we do every year and I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo looking forward to it. Especially after a long week of business related BS with visiting sales/engineering types from one of the companies I rep, which is why I've been absent all week.

I can't wait, no phones, no tv, no radio, no kids, no wife, no nothing; just a couple of 25 year old friends shooting the sh*t around the campfire at night and fishing our **ses off during the day. Saltheart, maybe at the next one, love that shortcake. Man I've been so out of it; I don't even know which one I'm posting about :confused: , is this mass or rhody? I've got to catch up, but I've got so much business pilled up, I doubt that's going to happen. I haven't even checked the long weekend weather, I sure hope it's not snotty....need to fish...need to fish...need to fish.
