that would be me . . . I checked in this morning expecting to see at least one "I'm all jacked up for the 4 Leg" thread and I get a what's everyone doing this weekend.

Went back and read the date :smash:

I'm in New York next weekend on business so I'm out :(

The Shtuff (BM royalty fee of one Blurple Bomber is on the way) is already packed. I got one of them BIG Rubbermade tubs full of plates, plastic ware, cups, paper towels, aluminum foil and plastic wrap. Not to mention two cases of snacks size bags of chips and Fritos and a cooler full of bottled water :eek:

Should I drop it off so it don't go to "waste"

One more for the road :smash:

G2 - Ouch - Where are you?

I'm in Springfield MA now, but I'm headed for Falmouth tonight . . . I'll probably be at Mike's at some point if he had room to keep it for a week.

At least I didn't get potato salad :yak6:

G2 there are big stripers right here in Springfield/Holyoke.

Too bad Glouc2, the macks are thick as hell and the schools of bass are eating them up at leisure just East of the breakwater.

Im off all day tomorrow to load up.....hope you can get some lines wet soon!

Ya I know . . . I went to the CT CCA show this Spring put on by Toby and Chris. My problem is Me/Alone/Holyoke/Night/Don't mix is it safe ?

I'll be at 'em all this weekend down the Cape . . . motto: Got Raingear . . .

Next weekend is the problem . . .


I've never fished for bass in Gloucester . . . a buddy of mine "livelines" clam scraps off the bow of the Patriot before we leave to go codfishin'. Nearly wet my pants when Capt. Phil turned on the PA and called for a "gaff in the bow" one morning !

Yup, Howie got a keepah !

No - we didn't gaff or keep the fish . . . they're kinda Howie's pets, everyone watches him but no one else fishes, he likes to make sure they're well fed.

I only have been in two knife fights and one shoot out. Just kidding, but I have only bumped into people on the quest for the big one like myself. The places I fish would only be visited by other fisherman. You have to cross part of the river to get to the super secret honey hole # 7. Only dummies like me strap on the waders and make that late night journey.

Ive lived in holyoke all my life and sure I have seen people with guns and all that bs but down there your surronded by people that are down there for the same reason you are. The river is the least place youd have to worry about

Thanks guys maybe I will give it a try . . .

Scare crow howd you do at the big rip? I had a slow weekend on the river. But, a freind of mine got 5 fish @ 37" in an extremely super secret locale. I'll keep you updated. Clean out your mailbox dude.
