Oh, if the ice can just make it past tomorrow. Looks like a good cold spell between now and the tourney!

RickBomba 01-31-2012 08:35 PM

Hey Casey and Kacie,
Any chance one of you guys can take a look at the pond this weekend and report?
Thanks,
Rick

JohnR 02-03-2012 07:21 AM

Any ice reports?

RickBomba 02-03-2012 11:59 AM

I hear they were fishing out there last week. It didn't get too warm out there, even on the crazy nice day.

Last night it was down to 14, and it won't get abover freezing today.

I'll call the bait shop tomorrow and see what's what. The only iffy day between now and the tourney is Monday, which should only get to about 40 degrees.

ICE OUT:uhuh: @ Lake Chauncey in Northboro

vineyardblues 02-03-2012 05:47 PM

Heading up tomorrow , called a friend said the center is open but the beach area is solid ...uggg again I should have more details tomorrow .

OPen water on Lake Quinsig in Worcester.... We may get a blast of cold air next week maybe

TheSpecialist 02-03-2012 07:08 PM

Rick I am working that day, and can't get it off. So I won't be making it this year. Gets some big trout okay. :uhuh:

RickBomba 02-03-2012 07:47 PM

30 degrees there right now...we should have fishable ice by next week. As I said, Monday is the only iffy day with lots of cold nights over the next 8 days.

I'll call the bait shop to see if they are out there tomorrow.

RickBomba 02-04-2012 03:26 PM

I was out in WMass today. There's ice out there, but I'm guessing that we won't have all of Comet frozen.

Long Pond (where the FoABBIT usually lives) looked to be 100% iced over on the part we fish, so who knows. Lots of cold nights before now and then...I'd say we will have fishable, safe, ice.

Just got back , lot's of open water in the deep end :(

Every where else has 4 inches , the edges are trickey with open water spots

Bait shop said a 9lber was landed last weekend , A few trout and bass was all i seen today , Total maybe 12 fisherman ,

RickBomba 02-04-2012 05:09 PM

Thanks for the report VB. I would say with the lows that we should have this week, that we should be ok with the edges by then. Too bad about the deep end!

JohnR 02-08-2012 08:10 AM

Halfway to Fabbit - Any ice reports there?

mag minnow 02-08-2012 09:55 AM

Around 2pm Sunday afternoon I stopped by on the way to Rutland. There were maybe 20 cars in the lot. Most of the people were set up off the point on the righthand side when you look out directly from the ramp. It looked okay on the edges.

RickBomba 02-08-2012 07:26 PM

So, we on, everybody. See you on Saturday!
Love,
Los Bombas

mag minnow 02-08-2012 07:36 PM

Rappin Mikey 02-09-2012 01:11 PM

Google "Dr's od DA Bait". I think the parking lot is right there

RickBomba 02-09-2012 06:21 PM

Doctors of Da Bait...I just talked to JackK and he is +5.

Mikey, Kershaw and Rat will be there, too.

Hope there's enough room!

Johnny , CAREFULL
it's ice with zero snow , it will be as slippery as your wedding day :love:

Trust me you will see the Brothers :buds:

JohnR 02-10-2012 08:03 AM

Still in, weather & ice dependent - any ice reports?

RickBomba 02-10-2012 08:32 AM

Just talked to the bait shop across the street from the pond. She told me people have been fishing there all week.

We are heading up this afternoon. If the ice looks sketchy, we'll post tonight.

JohnR 02-10-2012 07:28 PM

Not sure if Liam and I are in for tomorrow. Between Scouts and uncertain ice reports we are probably out - we would have to leave at 10 am anyway

Jackbass 02-10-2012 07:41 PM

Raven 02-10-2012 08:54 PM

I'm not even bearing my weight at the moment
needing a crutch just to git around....
so i am out of action... for now :wall:

mag minnow 02-10-2012 09:15 PM

Still planning on getting out for the first time this year. It should be a great time with a little fluffy stuff to add to the scenery...Even with crap conditions last year it was a lot of fun...

JackK 02-10-2012 10:14 PM

Spoke with the Bomba, ice is good. See you there tomorrow. Rabbit hat :hihi:

striperman36 02-12-2012 10:10 AM

great picture

JohnR 02-12-2012 10:38 AM

So how did it go? Wish we could have made it.

Rappin Mikey 02-12-2012 01:48 PM

Only a hand few of people made it. But we had a great time. ShawnO won again that basstardd! I'll post a few pics later. The fishing was reel slow. I say we switch it up next year somewhere with pike is the top prize. Thanks for all who showed up. It was nice seeing old faces and meeting some new ones too.

striperman36 02-12-2012 01:50 PM

the Breeds clan supply ferry service?

eelskimmer 02-12-2012 04:52 PM

I made it in time for happy hour. One pix taken
should be mounted here. Please everyone send
me a PM so i can remember all who i met. Good
time for a first time ice fisherman with no gear.

RickBomba 02-12-2012 05:26 PM

No Breeds clan.

Thanks to everybody who made it out.

My old pals Kershaw and Rat certainly were welcome additions.

And always, Kevin Jackson and clan made a good time.

John P. was the icing on the cake. Especially when he busted out the Captain Morgans.

Last but not least, Christian hung out with us until the wee hours, and I never saw MagMinnow leave?

Thanks Everybody!
Rick

vineyardblues 02-13-2012 08:25 AM

We fished over at the "other" town beach near the open water .
Thought the brothers would make it over ? We then headed over to the parking lot at 2pm and everyone was gone
fishing was SLOW

I will send or give the lure to whoever won , send a PM

JackK 02-13-2012 09:32 AM

Had a great time, even with the slow fishing. Many thanks once again to the organizers.

Christian 02-13-2012 10:29 PM
