I guess its finalized , we are having the first of the 4 leg gatherings May 31 at Don M's new tackle shop in Stonington CT.

i thought we should start a new thread and start making plans. I'll be there with strawberry shortcake! :)

How does a 2:30 PM start sound to everyone?

This one fell under the radar screen... Yes, 2:30 -3:00 pm start sound good? ... 8:15 sunset, 9:30 high at WH, and a NEW MOON!!!!

Bringing burgers and dogs...

We'll need to know how many are going. I think Don has one grille already...

I'll be there, will bring beverages.

Saltheart, can you bring you All-star 11'9" rod. Would like to test it out at Don's if you don't mind.

tobias

:hs: --- :scream2: :bc: :doh:


..duty calls

I'm working in the morning, I may be a little late.

I can bring Burgers, or hotdogs, or a potato salad .... Not sure who brings what but I'm flexible. Let me know if I should bring something else.

Nils:boots: :boots: :bounce: :bounce: :drool: :drool:

Yes tobias , I can bring my 11'9".

Short of unforseen circumstances, I will be there....will bring something or other......probably with tails and cocktail sauce.....;)

I'm gonna try, no promises.....ork, "maybe bring the buns for Christains plugs":hee:

I'll bring something fleshy and edible. :D Little chicken wings?

I am there. Will bring a bag of Prince Edward Island Oysters and some hot sauce and maybe even a lemon or two.

Never fished RI before but what the hey. I'm in, can I bring my wife along? She fishes too but doesn't use the computer. (probably because I am always on it):laughs: What can I have my wife make? Or what do ya want me to bring?

Anyone want to carpool down together? I am going but I'll be leaving the cookout about 5 or so to get to Jamestown well before dark and I'm bringing korkers.

John, if you need another grill I may be able to toss mine in the van if you'd like.

2:30 sounds good so we can et an early start on the fish because sundown is huge this time of year right weewee?:D

I will be working Saturday and hope to get there by 7:00. I'm sure all that shortcake will be gone by then. wonder if the grill will still be hot though....maybe see if any of those lighter fluid flavored burgers will be left:D

I.M in cant miss the apple pie,strawberry short cake,I"ll bring some venison sausage.

Chris-Bill maby car pool down then come back this way to fish????

I'm there, but have a cookout with the kids till 2 or so.

I should be ther by 5 or so.

Sounds good! NG - no prob for the wife, significant others are encouraged but we are nor responsible for what may happen :) ...

Slip, Sundown is at 8:30 PM - not like fall :eek5: :D

I'm running out of time to get my house on the market, lawn was re-seeded over this weekend, going to Maine this upcoming weekend to pick up my brother-in-law to get him down for a week of landscaping and that following weekend I'd slated for a house cleaning type yard sale. I'll have to play it by ear as I don't want to have a yard sale in the rain, so if it's sunny I'll likely not be there, rainy and I'm in.

Sign me up!...

Let me know what I need to bring!:D

Sure thing denis.......... Looks like 2 bags of Oysters will be in order. Specialists, whats your favorite kind of Oyster?????

Can I play too? I think I have some bambi backstraps left.

John keep your cell on that day, I have to work but may come down later. I am going to try to get out of work a little early.

John,
There is a gas grill and extra bottle already on the property. We will also keep the shop open all night and have coffee, tonic and doughnuts for all.

Anyone wishing to sack out here is also welcome to park here overnight.

Don M

Ok looks like I'm in Bambi burgers and steaks for all and will bring the GRILL. If I take the boat and go over to Block after and fish from shore does that count as R.I. shore fishing:eek: :eek: :smash: Just kidding.

I'll post the rules shortly :doh:

Only eligability thing is that you are a member of these boards for 1 week prior to the particualr leg and have 10 posts in :) ...

I'll bring some marinated meatballs...

John, yeah, probably the usual, though if I have time and get ambitous, it may be a pot of chili instead....have to see what the weather does late next week. If it's not "garden friendly", then I'll whip up a batch on Thursday or Friday.

I may also have a guest from NH in tow.....:wave: Paul.....he had to check his calender, but is hopeful....

OK, I don't see burger buns and dog rolls on the list, I guess I can bring those.

Whoever is getting the burgers....please be sure they are "Canadian Beef" free.....;)

I plan on attending but I don't know what to bring. Any suggestions? How about paper plates, utensils, cups, napkins, etc.... I can bring whatever is needed.

Steve

Man... I still have A TON of plastic-ware that I was going to bring to the last shin dig but then I got sick. :sick:

Then I was going to bring it along the Rhody leg but it's on my wife's birthday! :eek:

Good luck to those that make it and please take some good pics for those of us "doin' time!" ;)

I'll be on the road at sunset for CT. - around 8:30 or so?...

Anyone wishing to carpool at that time?

If so, let me know, and I'll meet up in Tiverton or fall River!

You can leave your vehicle in my driveway in Tiverton...


Should be a great evening!

Is it too early for eels?...

I plan on attending. Whatever we are short on as the weekend gets closer, i can bring. (Soda, salad, etc.) If all else fails. I'll bring a desert.

I'll have my wife make her macaroni salad. It's awesome:D

I'll be there.
Bringing a dessert of some kind. And possibly a friend or my brother.
Looking forward to meeting you guys!!!

I was thinking about bringing some live ones in my portable livewell also but never thought about the fact that we will be in CT!
Whats the scoop??

Waterford and AdamR, thanks for attending. Now I have two guys to carry all my gear to my rock and the long walk back:D

what long walk. i thought we fished from the back of the pick-up with chunks, bells and glow-sticks. adam can you pick up the worms just in case i run out?:confused:

Tobias, the only time I'll be carrying your gear is to stock my plugbag!:smash: (even though your plugs only catch twinkies, some are pretty!)
Waterford, It's my turn to buy the glow sticks, your turn to buy the bait! You have fuel for all of our laterns? :D

Hey all I dont have the 10 posts but if I can manage the day off is it cool to stop by?:D

sure , your fish might not count towards the 4 leg though. who cares it's about meeting new people and having fun.

Throwing timber , I checked back , you've been posting since april on a couple of forums , just get your tenth in before the weekend and you are in for everything.

Sounds good to me now to get the day off?:confused:

can one partake in the other 3 legs of the tournament, if they dont make this one ?

Pops - no prob. Any of the 4 counts just your odds go up if you hit more than less :)

Timber - yer in :D

BC & I can't make it, got tri-state tournament this weekend on cape, hopefully we can at least make it to one of them this year!!!

I'll try to make it if i can it's kinda hard with my wife's car in the shop but if she gives the thumbs up i'd like to meet some people who like to fish as much as me and since i don't know too many people in ri maybe i'll make some friends to fish with. And please don't make fun of my cheap gear it's all i can afford:D
What can i bring?????????? anything needed? and hope to see you there

got an errand to do in beantown --then my wife Becki and I will
be heading for the gathering at Don's. Thinking to bring Cookies.
Thankfully the end of the rain is in sight for Saturday.Yahoooo

well now it appears there may be some showers....thats ok though, the fish like that type of day ...don't forget your rain gear !

Are anyone of you fishing Friday nite, do you have room for another? I'm going down Fri after work and it would be nice to hook up and fish some. I'm close to Weekapaug but can meet anywhere (almost) in RI.

Nils

I'm really bummed I can't make it, but I've put off a yard sale twice now due to rainy weekends and I can't delay further. Unless we have a complete washout, I'm getting rid of 14 years of stuff we have collected. I hate yard sales, one big pain in the butt, which is why the stuff got collected in the first place I guess:(.

you made it a tag sale instead....and then you give 10% of the profits to some resposible kids of family or friends to run it for you
which they simply love to do as much as selling lemonade.
If you need some descriptions/history for certain items print them.
__________________________________________________ __________________-->
when it comes to FISHING ,I say: the house work be damned
i HAVE to go fishing....it's my sanity! and that would apply to yard work and or yard sales too.Besides..its gonna be raining probably and its a well known fact that yard sale crowds are most enthusiastic when its sunny and dry. think AGAIN ->you will
be very muched MISSED otherwise! ....Just an alternate point of view.
Very quickly it will be 95 degrees and SOOO hot all you'll want to do some weekend is sit around and sell the "stuff" where as now
the fishing and the weather will be PERFECT!!! HMMMMM:confused: I THINK ITS AN EASY DECISION TO MAKE.:D

I think Raven makes an excellent point....

GS, what if you do the yard sale thing in on Sat. morning, and then meet us down there in the late afternoon/evening for the cookout/festivities/fishing.

Hey, ya gotta eat, don't you??? Might as well be in CT with 20 or so of your closest SB friends and fish.....

All depends, not only have to have the yard sale, but it's going to rain Sat. night, something new and different:(; so I've got to bring a large amount back inside. Then I've got a long drive, I'm guessing a solid 1-1/2 hours, so it's going to be a crap shoot.

WOO HOO! Looks like I'm going to be following in Nils footsteps again this weekend! :happy:

Hey... he needs someone to carry his eels! ;)

Anyone else going to be around Weekapaug tomorrow night???

Rob

Nils/Rob,

Drop me a line i'm thinking about fishing Weekapaug and the clump.

Don M

some of the s-b people can't come and buy anything at the yard sale either... as they will be (for the most part) in conneticut. i for one would be curious to see what you do have for sale. i would hate to find out the exact thing i happened to want was sold because i was out fishin instead of attending the yard sale. speaking of hate...
if i hate to do something i generally farm it out to someone else and pay for the labor rather than> do it->myself...

also... too bad you can't cover everything in plastic for just one night ->as in one huge piece. and now i'll shut up...:rolleyes:
always feels good to lighten your load though...possessions become an albatross around your neck weighing you down heavy.
oops shhh raven shhhhh:smash: :D

my timeline for the day is as follows arrive at 2:30-3:00Pm cook chat and converse til 6:00-7:00Pm set up my tent with waterproof tarp pack up and head to the fishing spots catch fish til 2:00Am back to tent sleep until sun-up eat pack tent and all other belongings go fish until1:00Pm drive home happy.
well thats my day boy am i beat
mar t
marty

i cant go.:doh: o well, next leg then.

Bummer, Christian......was looking forward to meeting you....

BTW, a question.......I got the directions to the shop for the BBQ, but what's the best way from Weakapaug?......... Route 1?

I plan on fishing in Weaky for a few hours in the AM before heading to the shop in CT, and it seems silly to go all the way back to 95 from there.....so I would suppose take Route 1 into CT, and then find my way from there?

Steve,

when are you leaving Weekapaug? I'm right down the road at Atlantic Ave. If you like I'll pm my phone#

Nils

Nils....I gotta pick up Ed in Braintree at 7:39 tomorrow morning (unless when I talk to him later, he wants to opt for an earlier train)....so I should be in Weaky about 10 AM, plan on staying till about 1 PM, and then heading to the "Q".....

Send me a PM, and I'll give ya more details/spot I'm going to.....
