How about something a little more local for those of us up this way? Open to suggestions. I'd like to see some rod building and maybe even some tuna rigging. Why not combine a couple different things? Big. Small. Monthly, doesn't matter. Just could use something local to get through the shack nasty winter.

As always...i'd be up for it....just depends on what weekend as I have 2 campouts coming up in the next few weeks.....

I'm down.

I'm down too, but my Jan is booked solid

I would be up for a little get together, busy next weekend.
But the rest of the winter I am open

Tattoobob can pick me up on the way :hee:

Depends on where it is :uhuh:

Sounds good = Im in..

Let's try a date. How does Saturday Jan 31 sound? Too soon? Day before Super Bowl a problem?

Then where and what?

actually I could make that....

Camping that weekend.....Klondike Derby

I will be doing a little Ice Fishing though....so its not a bad thing

I am up for a gathering. I am traveling in mid-February but any other dates would work.

My GF is having an "adult toy " party gathering at our house on Friday the 23rd of January. She has asked me to be "absent" from the house but I have few options. So that night would work well for me- OR- we could all gather at my house that same night. Can you picture it? 10-12 guys in my man-cave drinking beer :cheers:: and talking about plugs and fishing whilst 10-12 girls just above us upstairs drinking wine-coolers and talking about sex and vibrators. :chatter

maybe I'll come out of hibernation and put a couple names to avatars

I'd be interested too. I'd like to meet more of you face to face. Let's hope spring comes soon by making the winter pass by. I've resorted to playing the Rapala's Fishing Frenzy game on my son's wii. They even have stripers to catch. It's more fun than you think.

i'm in,,,,,,,,,

it would be nice to meet sum of the
fellow NShorians. how does the 1st week in Feb sound?
seems that Jan is booked for most. i'm open, providing i doan haveto work on the Sat we choose.

here are some suggestions for the WHERE?

spin's mancave on a different date (i'd like to STAY married :wave:)
HOOTERS in Saugus,
Red Rocks in SWMPSCTT,
That "place" at the end of the beach in NHNT,
somewheres in MBLHD???????

just sum ideas to kick around

Ross - I'm in, if it's a weekend that I don't have my daughter.

Thanks,
Andy

Ross,
Pick a date and I am in.

Let's get our heads around a couple things...

What do we want to do? Just get together and BS? Rods? Plugs? Tuna gear? A swap?

What are the dates for other events/shows? Nothing on the site calendar... don't want conflicts.
TFCTFN Feb 28
Plugfest Feb 21
Plum Island Feb 21
MSBA March 7-8

Lastly, while this is a thread I started, I am not in a position to be the chief on this, so jump in!

The PISC Fundraiser is Feb 21st....same day as Plugfest.....don't know about the other 2

count me in...

MSBA is March 7th and 8th

Can you dudes do Feb 7?
my vote for activities is to just sit around and BS, but guys should bring anything they want to show off, like plugs, rods, kayaks, boats, etc.

Feb 7 looks good for me the later the better,,,,,,,,,

say 4 to 8??? 2 to 6 is coool too???
in case i do have to work.

i like the BS session, Rockport, but how's about we BS
AND swap sum plugs (new, used, sluggos, custom, etc).
the Good Lord knows i have waaaaaaaay TOO much AYC
:grins: :grins: :grins:

any PLACE on the water sounds good,
any preferences?? just sum thoughts,,,,,,,,

id go

Feb 7th is good for me. BS with a bit of show and tell/trade is all good as well. Let's pick a location. Is the hooters in Saugus central to all?

I'm in.....let me know

TFCTFN is the 28th.

Settle on what you are going to do and I'll try to make the road trip (if you'll have me :hee: )....

How big is the Man Cave? Might be good for some reel maintenance too?

My mancave is just a workbench area in my basement- not adequate for a group- however, my house in Gloucester is big enough for a gathering-
Let me propose this- Feb 7th, 2PM-7PM
We could eat, drink and BS the day away. :buds:

that's pretty nice of you to invite us yahoos over Spinn! I'm in for that or hooters is good too.
I gotta say the one is saugus has better talent then I've seen at hooters in a while

I'd like to go to Hooters

I was personally hoping for a more informative/hands on learning event, not that a BS session at Hooters is a bad thing. Anyone want to do a clinic on reel cleaning? I doubt they would let us set that up at Hooters.... any thoughts?

I hope to be at PISC event Feb 21st for an all day BS session...

Just a suggestion - maybe contact Martha at Surfland and ask if she would be
interested in running a clinic. She does one for the PI Surfcasters and
just might do one if we can gather enough solid participants. If there was
enough interest, the hall where the meetings are held may be available.
COST ??? always a problem loosening wallets. Anyone on the site have a big
enough area to accommodate a bunch of liars in one place?

Catch you later Ross........

Don

Thanks Don. Good idea re. Martha.
I might put in a call to Mark Ryan this week at Ryan Marine here in Marblehead. His shop has worked out extremely well for the Maddie's group meetings. We just have to dangle some sort of carrot, be it a small usage fee, or whatever..... Anyone know Nat or Derek at First Light Anglers? They put on a great tuna presentation.

The State House??? (Sorry, couldn't resist)

I know PISC is doing a How-To night for february that is all about reel maintainence and such.

I want to say Fireman's hall runs us about $100 for a meeting there, But I can check at the next meeting for the price.

Martha Lubes My Reels.

Casey does Starfish know about that? ;-)

Yep, and I have a sticker for my jeep.
