i'll be there,,,,,as the shindig at FLO's is

sort of the pinnacle of the season for me!

that and the breakfast at the Andrea for the MS in WKPG.

hey Joe, what were the winning weights for the two previous yrs??
just curious as to what size fish to target, mid 30#'s i think?

it'll be GREAT to sea all you Rhode Islanders and tip a few with some of the best anglers and finest gents our sport has to offer.

and then there is the SCHWAG at the Booberry Factory on Sunday!!
barring any other mishaps, i should be THERE with bells on and thanks for keeping the HABS Fall Classic going, thanks to John Jr and Jess as well!! sea ya'll there :cool: :cool: :cool:

I will be home and will make it for the 3rd straight year:jump1:

Where did Crafty (Chuck) go???:confused:

Another Prime Rib dinner date at Flo's together again??????

You know what? I thought about the same thing the other day.

CHUCK!!!!

Hope he is well? Just been noticing him missing the past coule months???

Hey, fine and dandy here - also 20+ pounds lighter since June

Just now finishing up the mother of all home improvement projects...:doh:

Let's just say it involved 2 pallets of bricks, 5 or 6 yards of bank run and bluestone dust...all by hand with a shovel and wheelbarrow...and has taken me all summer to do it...:hs:

Now I know why you don't see many 61 year old stone masons

But the upside is I'm in shape to bail fifties all night long like so many choggies...:musc:...just lucky for them I haven't run into 'em yet


I'll be there - wouldn't miss it!

Is there a Friday deadline to register? That's the only tough part for the out of towners. Psyched to participate in this again this year!

x2

Hey Joe/Chuck - can we have the entry forms scanned and posted here so guys can enter by mail? This would help those living out of town and not near weigh stations.

DZ

You guys do an awsome job running this and if I have to drive to M&D's to enter I will. Probably need to get some eels for that weekend anyway. Not the end of the world by any means. I would think keeping track of out of town entries could be tough so I totally get it if you don't want to do it.

also,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

how's about some entry forms at the FLO's event?
just an idea, gentlemen~~~

almost didn't make it last year, good to know that i can register
at M&D's this w/e. the HABS is the BALLZ and i wouldn't miss it!!

I'm all set I'm taking friday off, I would have registered last week when I was down but my keeper won't let me out every wknd.

I went to M&D's to register but Mike did not have the forms yet. Anyone know when they will be dropped off?

Can't wait!

Chucksta!!!:wave:

Yeah, I drove all the way down to the Edge last night to sign up. Same thing. No forms.

Is fishing limited to RI & MA? Other obligations will keep me from fishing RI Friday but I might be able to sneak out for a few hours in CT.

I am picking up the tickets NOW. I will bring them to Quonny, Quaker Lane, and the Edge today. Jeff will bring them to M&D's tomorrow. You can sign up then.

I'm excited!!!
 

Its going to be a good time and for a good cause!

I'll be working at the SWE this Saturday and Sunday - come on down say hi and sign up. Don't forget your gear - been a decent local daytime bite this week.

DZ

So is there a deadline on Friday? I may not be able to register until Sat unless I ahem cough cough it up on Friday.

this will be the first tourney I have ever entered. what the heck, right? even a blind squirell finds a nut. anyone gonna be fishing in Gansett, I'm sick of fishing alone.

is this a boat and surf tourney?

Surf only ,3 biggest fish. Besides the entry fee of $15.00 the main purpose here is to raise $ at the raflle for the kids at Hasbro Childrens Hospital.

Bummer, looks to be a good cause and a nice weekend

So pay the $15 and go in the surf. I did the first 2 years and I had a boat both years. It's a good cause and John did a lot of good for a lot of people. You can give up one day in the boat and surf fish.:chased:

no surf gear
