BigFish 07-02-2008, 09:17 AM So has anyone got plans for the 4th of July? Going to any celebrations, fireworks, cookouts etc.? I am planning on just doing a little grilling here at home....maybe go fishing early am! Other than that getting ready for 2 weeks down the Cape! How about you?:fishin:
hanging out with my father and lighting off fireworks. spending as much QT with the family before taking off..
hyefisherman2 07-02-2008, 09:30 AM bought a ton of fireworks up in NH

Clogston29 07-02-2008, 09:39 AM yard work, packing for vacation, and fishing all night (gotta check the town websites to make sure I avoid fire works - don't want to deal with those crowds)
RickBomba 07-02-2008, 09:57 AM Hanging out with Jess and relaxing. All of our friends will be away, so I guess it will be pretty mellow.
Gotta go to Miami on Sunday the 6th, though.
Be safe everybody,
Rick
PaulS 07-02-2008, 10:49 AM Hoping to go yakking w/the wife and hook up with sis. and brother in law at the thimbles islands. Then to an all day cook out that a friend who owns a rest. throws every year (clams, lamb, shrimp, Filet, salmon, etc.). Finally, back home to watch the town's firework display.
Everyone - have fun and be safe.

Backbeach Jake 07-02-2008, 11:25 AM I'll sit on one of the Bayside beaches, as I have for the last 50 years, and watch the whole Cape celebrate with fireworks. Family, lifelong friends, a couple of cold ones...it's the best. then on the 6th Jenn and I celebrate our 34 Anniversary. Life's been good to me so far.:hee:
saltfly 07-02-2008, 11:41 AM HIDE!!! a local birthday party,watch the orleans fireworks from an associstion beach in eastham.Karl i'll come by for a little "juice".

riverrat2 07-02-2008, 12:16 PM Stay as far away from the ocean as possible. Too many idiots on the water. Be back on monday when the weekend warriors are back at work.
nightprowler 07-02-2008, 12:18 PM i'm getting married on the 5th...so ill have a busy weekend.

Clogston29 07-02-2008, 12:21 PM my condolences :hihi:
american spirit 07-02-2008, 12:37 PM hang out and lay low. maybe convince my dad and brother to sling some eels at night.
Slipknot 07-02-2008, 12:38 PM We have spent the last 4 years on the 4th down in wellfleet, this year we are going to my brother's house in E. Bridgewater to a huge cookout, he has a pool and a very large yard. I'll probably help him grille, then maybe play some wiffleball and swim. The rest of the weekend is a question still, maybe I can get some fishing in among the work around the house.
:cheers2: Have a good one and don't drink and drive.
daceman63 07-02-2008, 12:44 PM spend the day with the wife and daughters on the boat. With any luck pull in a striper or two.....the girls love to reel in fish. Maybe get home in time to light the grill (not a necessity) maybe try and catch a fireworks display somewhere.
Back Beach 07-02-2008, 01:43 PM Stay as far away from the ocean as possible. Too many idiots on the water. Be back on monday when the weekend warriors are back at work.

RIJIMMY 07-02-2008, 02:33 PM i was hoping for fun in the sun, but the weather looks like crap. I will fish night and early am. Not sure what the family plans are due to the weather

fishermom 07-04-2008, 11:24 AM Message from Basic Patrick
I have four days of full on fish til I drop plans...some with the honey and some without...It was all supposed to begin with a Thursday night commando raid upon the Backside and end up in Buzzards Bay on Mondya afternooon.
I read flap's Mung thread however it was too late to cancel as I had made plans to cruise CG Beach for the last of the incoming get my large and come home for a short nap and dawn patrol with the honey...long story cut short...the mung was there but fishable at most places...unfortunately no, none, zero signs of life...only action we had was my friend burying the truck to the frame and the two plus hors to dig it out....arrrgh!!!!!!!
Let's see now, It took me three plus hours to get home and now with minimal sleep it is noon, I missed Dawn Patrol and question remains...what should I do now!!!!...Oh Wendy...back that truck up to the skiff!!!!!
Wife's getting induced tomorrow so I'll be hangin' at the Brigham.
