After today.....no thanks I'll wait till spring!

There are so many choices.....:kewl:

The 16th would work great, I think the pats are playing the 15th. We can listen to the Steelers get beat down on the radio.

I'm in....

Hah Choo!:eek:

OK,OK do Ice fish count?:confused: :D
Diz

Better wait till it has been below zero for a few days and the ice is over a foot thick........................us "ATHLETIC" guys don't really enjoy the sound of cracking ice too much.:laughs:

Ya lets see what happens later next week. You need 5 nights in a row below freezing for good ice anything over 8 inches should be o.k.

"24 south":D very nice pond 10 minutes from my house I might stop over and say hello

From what i'm hearing winnicunnet is the place to have the deby lots of action and big bass pickerell and a shot at a big brown Thats what were looking for a place we'll be chasing flags all day not like they say in maine " the traps have the bends"

Yah might not be chaseing flags all day there, but it can put out some good fish. Its one of the first ponds in the area to freeze and gets pounded. There are a few derby's there every year. My chioce would be Sunset in Braintree, its only about a mile or two from the "split" Its not overly fished has good bass and pics and gets stocked with trout in the spring. I have had a few good days there running out of bait. Alot of the board members live fairly close by too.

hows the parking at sunset and how big is it

I don't believe any of the derby's are before Jan 16th at Winny but I will double check on that when I can. They are normally in February. After the Derby's the lake can shut down for a week or so for sure. The Pond being so shallow and the first to freeze will also be a good thing if we are going to stick to that date because if you have seen the long term forecast it doesn't look good for the ice. The temps are suppose to be in the 50's for friday and saturday....urrrgggg. As far as running to flags all day, some day there I have, other days have been slower....that's fishing.

Pete is around 75 to 100 acres plenty big enough for a good sized crew. There is also plenty of parking as it borders the high school and the town swimming beach. It freezes fairly quick, probably close to safe now if not already.

Im in wherever it is...youze guys pick the place
here is BigFreak with a whopper:laughs:

:eek: Oh, sure Slingah....you don't show your "WHOPPER" do ya!:laughs:

Small fish but fun....that was a beautiful day as I recall?:happy:

I'll bring shiners in oxegen bags I have about 40 extra traps if any body wants to borrow them as well as 2 power augers but i gotta get them running as i haven't used them in about 3 years

i'll bring some popcorn and sit in my truck with the heat on:D
watchin' you guys scurry arround on the ice like bambi

Got Korkers......:hihi:
No slippy for me, how many traps are we going to limit each person to? 5 ? I was looking at my traps last night, I gots some maintaining to do:smash:

FF, I will be easy to spot, I will be the one standing still sweating my arse off, I swear I sweat worse than Wakefield..That and a cloud of smoke around my head :smokin:

We wiill abide by mass state law no more than 5 hooks in the water Catch and release on all pickerell bass trout pike all gamefish. We should have a kid division for the most panfish jigged up whaddya think?

Pete and All,
I'm hosting an ice fishing tourney on January 23rd in Haverhill. It is at Chadwick Pond and will be based out of the Haverhill Hound Rod and Gun Club. Entry fee is $10, prizes will be $200, $100 and $50. If people are interested from this forum, I may make it interesting and get some tagged trout and have an additional category for the largest tagged trout.

Hiya Cando........
No clue where this pond is at, but I am in for sure...can you email me directions or post em up? Did I see right, shinners are available there?
Thnx,
Chris-RE

Yes. Bait will be available at the club house. I'll put the details together and send out tonight. I'm off to my treestand now. Hoping to get one more deer before season is over.

Chuck - is that you? Bout time you got your ass on S-B...

Everyone - please give a nice little welcome to Capt Chuck Cassella. He is a former MSBA President, attends countless fisheries meetings, official (former official?) protector for the much maligned Tailus Waggerus Skate, a Boston Harbor Charter Captain, and generally a good egg :laughs:

Oh yeh, and I did his website a year and a half ago:
