My Wife and son are away this weekend, dang, I'm gonna miss 'em. But, in some small, barely felt consolation, I know I'll be able TO FISH MY BUTT OFF!!!!

:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

Don't know what or where yet although the curb feelers are out...

Supposedly some "other site" has a Ditchamagic happening, right? Worth crashing :p ? Or might hit some of my old haunts on the Mass South Shore :D ... Some Rod & Reel repair. and SLEEPING LATE :D


So, what's up for the weekend?

I have been home sick since tuesday. I am feeling alot better today. I have a trip with Gary Corsetti tomorrow am. I was thinking of hitting the ditch afterwards, but I don't want to push my luck. They are meeting at Scusset 3pm. I hear there need some chummers for the chunkers.

Fishing with Captain Mike of Ave Maria charters Saturday at 4:00. :happy:

John, any interest in coming with us? Just the GF and I going out. Should be fun!

Baitcaster has clients tonight and SUnday, I am doing an all day seminar at Fore River for National Womens fishing day on Saturday, its all free so if you ladies out there want to come and talk fishing stop by.

John Wish I had known you were gonna be free this weekend, what are you doing Sunday???????

Me and smokie are hitting the ditch tonight

FW - I dunno, whatcha thinkning? I was thinking of my So Shore spot one night and Rhody another :D

S.O.t.B. - e-mail me the details.... cost, what to bring, etc... I was planning on sleeping then :p - BTW, I was expecting you at the cookout as I brought your Storm Winnings

Im going to the ditch tonite and will be with that "other site " bbqing at 3pm at scussett beach pier . then fishing , then sleeping . Then its Monday !

John come on down youll know alot of the folks and meet some of the board members from here living in NJ .

Well, the wife is going to foxwoods with a friend of ours tonight for what might be her last trip down there for a while. I should be able to pick up my boat (20hr oil change at 50+hours and some odds and ends) saturday morning, so was thinking of fishing sat evening, and taking the boat out sunday early am.

John, got an offer for ya. Why don't you fish the "south shore" sat night... we could hook up, then you can crash at my place. Karen's cool with it. Sounds like FW is offering to take ya out possibly... if not, you can fish with me... either way, it would give you a break on travel. And don't feel bad about chosin' FW over me, 'cause I generally see them quite a bit out there anyway.

Plus, I won't know till later today if the boat will be ready... they were a bit overwhelmed and I guess they put alot of people off till after the 4th.

But let me know how that all sounds.

ps... John, SOB? I know you were bad mouthing Stripers on the Brain the other day, but that's kinda mean.

Oops :) - Sorry about that Eugene :laughs: , it now reads S.O.t.B. like I usually do...

Schoolie - I'll call but I like the Idea :)

Spent this AM with some of the "other" guys.....

Ya know, them guys from Jersey come up here, and they manage to knock out all the lights on the Ditch and the bridges for a few hours!!!!! :eek:

Going back for more tomorrow, plan on hitting the slack around noon, going to get some "free" eats, then chunking it up with whoever is gonna do that....

John, feel free to "crash", am sure you are more than welcome....:)

Sunday, sleep.....then??????

Whatever all of ya do, be happy and safe!

Rockport sat nite
sunday a 60 target 3D shoot my biggest ever :eek: :eek:

Fish the "housy river" tonight in CT, tomorrow Yanks/Sox in the boogie down bronx - not a bad 24 hours, Sunday = rest.....

Ice

I don't know John, I'm down to about 50-50 on getting the boat back for sunday. Just got off the phone and its all done but the fuel gauge... but they may need to order it... right, sounds like a load 'a BS, but I'm taking from it the possibility of it not being ready.

So, plan is still good except you better get in touch with FW for sunday am.

FW, got room for two? :)

Freshwater tourny Sat. then a cookout on Sunday.

I'm hanging at home tonight and Sat. at 3 there's that cookout at the fish pier for the SOL ditchmagic, after me and bassmaster will chum the canal with all the leftover food and then lveline french fries to the bass that come looking for a meal.
Sunday I have work to do at a friends house:(

John, if you don't go with SOTB, come on by the canal and see the masses.

Slip - thanks for the offer but I did go out with S.O.t.B., his betterhalf, and Mike & Patrick of Ave Maria ...

Eugene & Jamie - Thanks for the invite & hospitatlity on Saturday evening! We'll redo this trip soon!

We went out Saturday night and targeted big fish with the live pogies Mike & Patrick chased so we'd have live bait for the trip... We were able to raise larger fish all over the habor but the truly bigger fish had developed lock-jaw and would hit but didn't suck down the large pogies. There was a fair amount of big swirls and attacked bait and a LOT of fun :btu: . Sure, we could have chased the little guys but we urged for big fish. Again, thanks to Eugene, Jamie, Mike & Patrick... :btu:

John, glad you could make it! Mike and Patrick it was nice meeting both of you. Let's go target some more large again soon. 77 hmm....
