Me too. Looking forward to meeting everyone

And throwing JackK overboard.

If anyone wants or needs to bail I have a plus one who will go.

Looks like its going to be roughly 2 hrs driving for me. Boat is at 5am. So planning on being there for 4am. According to their website brefas opens at 530am :( coffee and beef jerky again :(

I'll bring some donuts, etc....

I just picked up about twenty pounds of lead, will have plenty.

Only way I'm going overboard is when a BOFF cod drags me there!

Anyone on this trip coming from Providence area? I need to get a saw to Chefchris and could meet up to make the exchange when you get in. I have to meet up with Victor anyway...

Ross I can take the saw and get it to chef. I'm 15 minutes outside of providence.

Cool, thanks. Disregard my last PM:smash:

I'll give Victor your bandsaw fence

It is becoming a regular tool swap.... and fillet ho'

Boat leaves at 5 AM, correct? Brad and I will be there at 4:30, if so. Brad is very fired up to see all you ice fishin' guys, by the way!

So whats the pool going to be? Any need to bring some pluggage?

yup -leaves at 5
we were thinking a $10 pool w/ 50% for biggest cod and 50% to biggest non-cod. and another one that was $20 - biggest fish takes it all. if there is interest in a plug pool it would be fun and we can get rid of the $20 pool. lets hear some opinions about the plug pool

The boat looks small...you guys think it's ok if Brad and I bring a 150 qt cooler between the two of us?

I say leave the $20 pool. If only 10 guys join it's still $200. Totally optional.

So the biggest fish gets 50% of the $10 pool and all the $20 pool? Something not right there?

I will bring cash a NIP AH Danny just in case we wind up having a plug pool as well. I think having a 10 dollar a head pool, $300 for biggest, $100 for second and a plug pool would be fun. Plugs could go to most fish caught, Cusk King of the day, first to puke, skunk master. Just throwing some ideas out.

I like the idea of two pools... But IMO because this is a cod trip, I vote that the $20 'High Roller' pool is renamed the 'King Cod' pool- Biggest Cod gets the pot. I think the emphasis should go to that species. I like the other pool.

And like Niko said, if you win one category, DQ'ed from the others. So if one has the largest cod onboard, and is entered into both pools, then they get the 'king cod' title, but can't win the $10 pool. There should be three separate winners at the end of the day- that's a good idea :uhuh:


**RR- First to puke- brilliant. Do you win something, or have to give up something?? :hihi:

[QUOTE=Plugs could go to most fish caught, Cusk King of the day, first to puke, skunk master. Just throwing some ideas out.[/QUOTE]

I'll be first on and make myself puke before they untie for a free plug:)

Sooo...nobody said anything about my big ass cooler. I'm just going to bring it!

We have the big boat... I'm bringing a 150 for myself, and I think Alewife is as well

here's a breakdown on the pools guys. we also need to collect a few bucks to cover bossmans fare. lets go kill some fish :)

Niko your pool setups are fine with me. Adding the plug pool for fun categories like Piscator suggests would be a fun way to kill time on the ride in. Nothing like puking and getting skunked and then getting recognized for both achievements in front of everyone on the way in :-)

Please tell me "biggest fish" and "biggest non-cod" do not include dog fish.......

Everyone got your saltwater licenxe?

if the big fish of the day is a dogfish then we picked the wrong boat. and you usually don't need a liscence to fish on a partyboat

Yesterday's Clipper fishing report:

05/13/11 Friday

Finally back out with just a long lazy swell left over from this weeks big offshore storm.As for the fish front alot more life slowing up with some whales for viewing but the bite was only slightly better.A mix of cod and haddock on bait and jig with a bunch of short cod going back over the side in between.Overall a fair day of keepers with the stern boys getting their usual.The weekend is soldout on the allday next available Wednesday. We love you Russ!
