S-B Leg Tourneys

Looking for dates on Mass Leg Tourney - Cape Cod Area

A couple people suggested Sunday of Labor Day Weekend as traffic might be good in Cape vicinity and S-Bers down the Cape

No Joke - but that's why I'm asking. Normally we do Saturday afternoon but if we do Sunday, the traffic won't be as bad.

We can do the weekend before - apparently some good canal tides too

it would be better I think for the weekend after labor day. reason being it is short notice and most people are already locked into family stuff as it is the end of summer.
it would be nice if people Actually SHOW UP!!! this is the biggest, most popular sb web site with oooodles of members and lurkers, yet the same 10 people show up.
DON'T BE SHY PEOPLE!!

as an aside: ya know I don't think of myself as an innovative person, but this idea of meeting people from the internet, especially for hobby-related stuff and actually spending time (not just exchanging money for goods) still seems kinda foreign to a lot of people. Maybe we truly are innovators and ahead of our time?
that said, although I've done the cutty trip and talked to people at shows, I'd like to take part in more S-B stuff, but can't do the weekend after labor day

I thought the same thing until I went to the cape leg and attended TFCTFN. Also met a bunch of guys at 5/0's winter footbal bash too. Meeting people from a fishing web site seemed a bit strange, but most turned out to be real good people(except NIB).
Actually most of the people I've met were known by someone I already knew and introduced to me.
Its not like meeting some stranger in a dark alley for the first time by any means. Besides, a clean cut conservative gent like myself would never do that...

If you're thinking of showing up, go for it. Its a good time.

Matt, it's a good time. I just think we might consider a meet up point, go off to fish, then having the cookout AFTER the fishing.

I would like to meet more of you guys. The ones I have had a chance to meet and fish with turned out to be great learning experiences for me. Everyone is usually pretty quick with help or a pointer when needed.

Sunday you might have some heavy volume of traffic coming off-Cape, but almost nothing going on-Cape. It should be fine in the area of M&Ds anyway.

actually everybody I've met at these things is great always a good time had. Feels like a family BBQ when you go

Could be tough for labor day for me, but if Link is bringing them devil eggs I may have to swing by just for those. Best I ever had.

10/4 is the lure builders bash in rhody. 10/5 we can do. I had offered john the use of the place we rent down there for burgers etc.

Domination takes full concentration..

Like all hobbies, the more you get into it, the more you have to "expand" beyond your circle of friends. Online communities such as this one is a great way to exchange ideas and get to know new people. Besides, spending a lot of time alone in the dark talking to your self for expended periods of time under various weather conditions not perhaps good for one's mental health.

Hardbait - short version is that it is an afternoon cookout followed by a Catch and Release Tourney for S-B members (like yourself) in local waters. Catch and Release a fish, witnessed by another S-B member.



Mass Leg:

OK - THIS Sunday is good? Down the Canal? Once I get some kind of consensus I'll run it by Mike to make sure its OK.

Please say if you are in or out !

Thankyouverymuch
