Dates for S-B Fall Leg Tourneys
 

OK - we want to set some dates for the S-B members Four Leg C&R Tourney. We need dates for Mass and Rhody:

Events happening so far:


CSA/Cutty: Sept 23/24
MDA RI: Oct 21-23
Tri-State RI ???

The CSA/ Thats who I am going to cutty with ! Dont know those guys but will meet them :kewl:

Thats if I find some time during the day to do anything but sleep

This is my opinion for the RI leg. What do you think ?


Date Tide (RI) Moon Phase(Rise/Set)
___ _____ _________________

Oct 29 6:00 PM waning cresent 11% (3:34AM/4:16PM)


Nov 5 10:00PM waxing cresent 15% (10:34AM/7:04PM)

The facts given that a weekend needs to be chosen and that the dates can not coinside with the other tournament dates I have found the above dates to be descent because they are close to the new moon phase.
The Nov 5th would be my choice because of the high tide is a little later in the nite and also if your fishing until about 4:00 AM or before you can fish the areas that are condusive to low tide.
Nov 5th may seem late in the season but the fish don't know that but what a way to end the season for some.

That will be A @#$%^&* adventure / F #$%^&* #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& with people ;)

:faga: Mike, what's " @#$%^&* " :tooth:

Has anyone noticed the island has become a friggen xmas tree year after year? Proably cause nobody on the site fishes it enough cause if they did I doubt dudes would venture on their own. Another prime example how the net is F@*%$in chit up. Hey atleast the beach guys must be glad takin some pressure off.

tri state
 

oct. 28,29,& 30th

Sept 24 MA
Oct 15 RI

Oct 8 RI?

That will leave Sept. 17 and Oct. 1st for MA leg.
Sept 17 is just over one week away which may be a short notice. Oct. 1st would be the prior week of a Oct 8th RI leg. I'll go along with any date but I still like Nov 5th for the RI leg, but what do I know, you all have been doing this longer then I.

Damn! I'm out of town that week.

Your f @#$%^&*( out of town every week //


Just received a new machet [sp] might make my first BLOOoooofish trip tomorrow in 15 years // I,ll either get skunked or all schoolies :hidin:

I got a nice blue hatchet for ya next time I see ya.

I'm up for Salthearts dates (pending OK from the shops). November is too late for one of these Legs. Too unpredictable...

I like Salthearts suggestion too. I'll be out on the outer cape for a plugbash on Oct 1 as will some other members of this board .So that date is out for me.

:btu:

well Ill be in mass on the 17th and maybe the 24th and RI Oct 1st and 8th

just an FYI
the 24th is the same day that SOL will be cooking at the ditch .
If Im in Mass on the 24th Ill attend both cookouts .

Where will they be fishing? The last thing I want to see is Mass overrun by TWO sites :whackin:

Also, the scallop festival is held that weekend which will create a challenge for those parking and fishing in the area of Bourne near the railroad crossing.

The 24th is the same date as Nelson's B&T Tourney
I will be fishing there

from my experience they will mostly fish the ditch and some out on the outer edge .

What ever date you choose is fine by me but
I'm closing the shop for the hunting season after Columbus Day :bgi:

no matter what date for the Mass. leg, the traffic will be difficult in the Sagamore area :wall:

Sagamore Bridge drivers find two lanes a big pain
By CONOR BERRY
STAFF WRITER
SAGAMORE - For months, Massachusetts Highway Department officials warned of looming post-Labor Day lane restrictions on the Sagamore Bridge to accommodate work on the $58 million flyover project.

But the lane closures, which took effect yesterday and are scheduled to last through October, still caught motorists off guard, many of whom flooded state police with calls about the lengthy delays that tied up traffic on both sides of the bridge yesterday.

Jay Conti was one of the many Cape Codders who fell into the fuming-mad category. The Hyannis man said it took him more than two hours to get from his home at noon to the base of the bridge.

By the time Conti finally reached the bridge at 2:20 p.m., he said he realized he would never make it to an off-Cape appointment and decided to abandon the trip.

''I got off Exit 1 and took Route 6A back home to Hyannis,'' said Conti, who contacted state police in Bourne to report frustrated drivers pulling U-turns in the middle of Route 6, putting him and others at risk.

''I've seen a lot of things,'' Conti said. ''But eight cars making a U-turn on Route 6 was a first. I told (state police) to send backups, because there's going to be accidents.''

The first day of Sagamore Bridge lane closures did not go smoothly, according to many people, including an Orleans resident who claimed it took nearly three hours to drive from Exit 12 to the bridge.

MassHighway officials say they are committed to the flyover's aggressive project timetable, which will require lane closures through October and possibly again in the spring.

As recently as Saturday, MassHighway officials warned that the closures would likely take effect this week, telling motorists to expect restrictions implemented after Sept. 5.

The Cape Cod Times reported on the scheduled closures in January and in several subsequent reports, including a front-page story in Saturday's edition.

''We've received a ton of calls,'' Trooper Ed Roach, stationed at the Bourne State Police barracks, said yesterday.

The backups were not the result of accidents, said Roach, but rather flyover-related construction, just north of the bridge.

MassHighway crews will be working from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday near the northern base of the bridge from now through October, requiring four lanes

to be reduced to two in each direction for the duration, said Paul Washburn, MassHighway's resident engineer for the flyover.

Washburn said all four lanes will temporarily reopen for Columbus Day weekend, but then it's back to two lanes for the remainder of October.

Kevin J. Cassidy, a MassHighway district construction engineer, said last night there is a chance the lane

closures could spill into November, but it depends on the weather.

None of this matters much to John Meyer, a civil engineer from the suburbs of New York City who owns a summer home in Orleans.

About 6:30 p.m., after spending 2 hours and 45 minutes in traffic headed off Cape yesterday afternoon, Meyer, whose specialty is traffic engineering, said the lane closures are an ''untenable'' and ''unacceptable'' situation, citing their potential to hurt the local economy and slow everyday commerce to and from the Cape.

For his part, Conti questioned why the roadwork couldn't be done at night, which is routine in states like Connecticut and New York.

''It should be done at night when there's much, much less traffic, sometime between midnight and 5 a.m.,'' he said.
