Directions to meeting

What holdovers? there are no fish there :p

Fish in the Thames river ? Not anymore! This guy has cought them all.

I'll tell you after tomorrow:), I'm sure there might be a few there or so I've read...lol. Greg you and I need to hook up, I'd have called but most are tied up with families on New Years, my better half is working all day so I'm off to the river. If your not busy for some reason, I'm leaving at 6:30 and meeting Drew at the ramp. He's the same guy you and I fished with the day that one and many other nice fish were caught. Pop me an email or pm, I'll check before I leave.

NICE FISH!

Wow!
 

Nice fish GS!!!!

howd ya do
 

did you go yesterday i slept allday was out late and had something to do at 6am then came home and slept if i know you
the fish were in trouble when you arrived!!!

That was last year on a great day with new friend Greg (GB Outdoors) and an old one Drew from Worcester. In fact we might have had a repeat yesterday, except Greg was tied up, however Drew and I hauled some 200+ fish over the side without his help:). Nothing over 5 lbs, but considering the date 1/1/03, I'm not complaining.

some 200+ fish!?!?! Did I read that right?!?!?!

Can these fish be reached from shore???

Don't believe it
 

Bob's lying. Don't go there. There are no fish in there. And if you get any of the Thames ick on you, the flesh eating bacteria will do you in for sure.

Nope, no fun to be had on the Thames at all. No siree..........

Yeah, what Drew said...
 

Especially if you're a Ro-dylunder, cause you need a Ct. fishing license if you go - and they got that new out-of state license policy this year.You see they implemented a quota for out of staters this year.The quota is inversely related to ratio of saltwater surf access known to hold fish that the interloper has in his home state, relative to the same here in Ct. Residents of States where you can drive trucks on the sand are automatically prohibited from getting a Ct. License for obvious reasons.Last I checked, they still had some Iowa and Kansas licenses available!

just wanted to bring it back up, as the meeting is tomorrow night.

Bob, YOU ARE KILLIN ME MAN. :smash:

Nice feesh...looks like you're in a boat. No chance from the shore?

Hi Drew welcome aboard! Sorry I could not make it last week but I was out of town on Wed. Thur. Fri. hunting Russian boar in up state N.Y. Great time with a bow. Hey Bob thanks again for the offer and I think my days are clear for a while so if you feel like a week day trip I should be in.

See ya' there tonight "t."
