Sign re-financing papers at 1 tomorrow, hopefully that won't take too long and then watch the Pat's kick some Dolphin butt

. Sunday I'm headed south to catch some stripas. Hope everyone has a good one and isn't trapped in a mall somewhere doing last minute Xmas shopping.

Oh yeah, right now I'm flying solo Sunday, anyone interested?

The celebration already began in this neck of the woods....Thanks Uncle Crafty!

Maybe an after the holidaze party at our local watering hole is in order. We do need more "Northern Alliance" members.

BLOOOOOOOBERRIES for everyone!!!!!

Crafty Angler · 12-21-2001, 10:37 AM

Hey, I'll drink to that...

Mrs. Crafty made earlier mention of some sort of get-together during the holidays for the Alliance.

The girls could luxuriate in the splendor of the guest apartment and talk about girl stuff while the men hang out in Uncle Crafty's Tackle Den and dig into the refreshment locker.

However, all Alliance members will be required to undergo a plug security search before exiting the Tackle Den...

Lemme talk da wife, she's on high holiday alert and has gone out shopping.

Yeah, Mr & Mrs Iron Mike, the Tattoos, the Fish_Eyes, The Habses, the Craftys - I dunno, this sounds scary.

Well I'm off to the river solo. If any of you SB guys/gals happen to be in the neighborhood, properly dressed and with a light rod in hand you might want to give me a shot from the docks and I'll come pick you up.

Crafty,

I'm ready to party, but it will have to be next week for me and the wife...perhaps a pre-New Year party?

Mike

Crafty Angler · 12-23-2001, 01:38 PM

Fish_Eye, my wise friend -

That's what Mrs. Crafty and myself were just talking about - a pre-New Year's get-together for the Alliance.

Must be telepathy or somethin', great minds travel in the same...uhhh...I dunno, school, maybe.

I'll keep ya all posted when the plans gel, which oughta be soon.

Saltheart · 12-23-2001, 03:21 PM

Shopped Friday and Sat a little. Today building an Allstar 1265/2. My sister arriving from Albany soon. Christmas Party Monday night and Tuesday with my family and girlfriend. Life is good!

Crafty Angler · 12-23-2001, 05:18 PM

I finished my Christmas shopping today at 4:07 PM EST - a whole day early (for me, anyway).

Time for some rum with a shot of eggnog in it....

Got Stripers · 12-23-2001, 07:09 PM

Well I started out solo today, but after 15 minutes of fishing I had 3 other guys in my boat. Slip would recognize the old green ranger from the Orange MA couple that fishes down there all winter. He was down with 2 of his buddies today and the outboard wouldn't start, so they came over on the trolling motor while I was fishing around the boat slips. The tied up their boat, threw their stuff in mine and we had a good day on the river. I ended up with close to 40 fish and even saw a nice 30 lber brought to shore by someone throwing chunks. He said he landed a 32 inch fish 15 minutes earlier and I don't doubt it, because that cove was loaded with nice fish. Hope everyone enjoys the holiday.
