MV Derby Start And Who Is Going???
 

So when does that fishing shindig kick off and who is attending???? Lets hear it!!!:drool:

Moi and my brother SKD otherwise known as decaf.

I am going with the WHOLE family next week to kick off the start of the Derby. Me, my wife and my 2 little boys. It is the 1st of what I hope to be an annual family tradition. I'm sure the fishing will be minimal but the memories will be plentiful. I can't wait.:)

:wavey:

Can't wait!!

Lets have some chatter!!! Lets hear your plans, your hopes, your dreams!!!! Come on folks!!!

My plans are to go over and mooch off of Vineyardblues for a few days in early Oct., like usual. Always enjoy the atmosphere and of course the beer. I'll be trying for an Albie but have never even had a sniff yet over there. Must be the guide.

I will be in the Basicpatrick Shack from Oct 4-11. Looking forward to it!

Ross.we will be over there roughly the same time..We should meet up for some burgers and dogs on the beach..
Hope to get into Albies,Bass and Blues....We will sleep on the beach at least one night..Love the sunrises and sunsets..Doesnt get more relaxing than that..
Can't wait:soon:
Just cruising the beach..Catching doesnt really matter although it has a great deal to do with it..Meeting up with old freinds on the beach is almost as important as catching..The scenery and comadrier is awesome...I love the place

gonna be a very tiring month. Im in.

Was that my brother who actually said catching doesn't matter:fury:.

Ross 5th to the 17th, Mike and I will be there. Hang out with Patrick, you might win an Orvis flyrod.:rotf2:

Mike we will be sleeping in the truck more than one night.

Oh thats right..I have my new ear muffs so I cant hear you snoring...:love:

Starts the 13th, I'm heading over the 19th for the week. Being a boat guy mainly, but hoping to get my first funny fish from shore.

Kinda like the whole camaraderie thing too.

The paper said one Albie was beached ..... :rotf2:
The boats out numbered the Bones 400 to 1,,,, :gh:

I'll be there 9/28 - 10/1.

Hopefully 10/2 to 10/7 is the plan, but it is a moving target this year. The dream is one of each on a fly rod from the shore. Not sure if that qualifies as dream or dillusion just yet, but....

Let' make that delusional.

We will open the 2009 version of the Basic Fishing Shack on Sept 27 and will unfortnately close the doors on Oct 11. A very short two weeks this year but between some regulars branching out on their own (they always come back...lol) and the economy we just don;t have enough for more this year.


RPhud...Do not ever give up and always aim high. Make the catching the point but not the only value and the Derby will be yours to cherish and posess...Shore Flyrod Slam is a great accomplishment and has illuded all but a few for the last decade. I got three of four each of the last few years but the shore flyrod Bone is a toughy.

We went for 10 years straight at the end of September. We would take our boat down for the week. The last few years the fishing was better up in Cape Cod Bay and we couldn't justify the expense of spending a week down there when the fishing was marginal. I suspect it was also the early part of the derby and the fishing was blah.

I take that back..Catching does matter..:smash:

I will be with the Basic one at the Mass Bass house..... be afraid, be very afraid

we leave 10/11 and I will be going to RI to go to the Hab's shindig to hang out with John, Jessie and Pt Jude Jeff and Joe and tell lies.

Touch 'em all DanO!!!!!!:fishin::musc:

I dug a half a limit of quahogs today and we are making the base for Quohog Pie and a NE Clam Chowder which is just one of the dinners on the menu at the shack this year...Sirloin Tips purchased tomorrow and oh yeah...Boxes of Little Debbies are 10 for 10 at Stop & Shop or was it Shaws...either way...snacks are included at the Shack

Totes are in the living room...inventory is taken...compressor/eelquarium and other items are checked and ready

I'm getting excited!!!!!!!!!

See you over there Patrick, good luck.

I'll be over 19th - 3rd
Can't wait. Boat, Food, Fishing, and minimal tourists. Just hope the weat.......

Bah! forget I said anything :hidin:

do we need the eelquarium for 2 weeks?

I thought this year we were NOT going to play with the racoons and skunks!!!

Sucks to be me
 

After getting the all clear at work for Shack time, got a follow on email saying our most important customer will be in the entire week and guess who has to be there to answer all their questions. Will hit the weekends either side of 10/5-9 if I don't completely suck. Have to arrange other time and pay out the nose I'm a guessin'. @#$@%^$@#$@%@#%$@%@#$$@#%@%@#$@%@#$@%@#$@%@%@%@#$@ well, you know what I mean.

That does suck... (But more room to spread my stuff out....) See if they fish, or hunt. Maybe they will understand and reschedule?

I shall be there 9/27 to 10/11.........hoping to get another womens weekly, hopefully a daily and who knows what else!! Looking forward to seeing you all either at the BasicShack or on the beach.....tight lines to all !!!

I,ll be there 9/19 to 9/26.
Good luck evryone.
