Place: East Brimfield Reservoir (2 miles from exit 9 on Mass Pike)
Time: 7 AM Start 3 PM Finish
Brought to you by the Bombas and Striped Bass.com
Come meet the Bombas for an ice fishing extravaganza. Entry fee is one custom, wood plug or $15 per person. Prizes for three largest bass and three largest pickeral, by weight (there will most likely be other participants who enter with cash, so pre-determined rules to follow).
John, please make this sticky!
Come one, come all, you gonna loose you plugs!
Please register with me via pm, as we get closer to the event, I will provide tournament rules, prizes, and directions. I am also guessing that there will be an impromptu awards ceremony at a local restaurant to follow.
We will be checking the ice in the weeks leading up to the event, but we were out there last year, same week, and there was 8-10" safe ice (pretty warm last year). If the ice is not safe, date will be pushed back.
Later,
Rick
