FiABBIT Fifth Annual Bomba Bro's Ice Fishing Tourney - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

RickBomba · 08-11-2012, 06:07 PM

Well,
It might be a little early, but I thought I would announce the Fourth Annual Bomba Bros Ice Tourney, brought to you by S-B.com.

Date - Saturday, January 26, 2013
Site - East Brimfield Resevoir - South Side
Time - 7:00 Am to 1:00 Pm
Entry - $20 or Custom Wood Plug

Last year's event was a challenge due to conditions, with about 30 participants. It was at Comet Pond, the only ice in this part of the state at the time. Good food, good times, and awesome prizes! As usual, Shawn Owen walked away with the grand prize. Cheap lodging is close, about a mile from the lake. The Bombas will be there the night before, so we'll have festivites at the Pic if they don't remember 86ing Messy Matty two years ago, on Friday and Saturday nights.

We'll be on the South Side of rt 20 this year (for those who have been asking for pike all of these years, and we'll be trying for access of Streeter Road).

Please RSVP to this thread if you plan to attend. It's a great time, and a fun way to hang out with the S-B.com crowd before the fishing show scene starts.

There's cheap lodging at the Motel 6 for $47.99 a night:

Motel 6 Sturbridge, Ma #4377
408 Main Street
I-90 At Exit #9/i-84 At Exit #3-b
Sturbridge, MA, 01566
Phone: (508) 347-7327
FAX: (508) 347-9138

MassOutdooors

Local bait shops are sketchy, so best to pack in your own bait.

Please let me know if anybody has parked off Streeter Rd in the winter or if I should be looking for a different access point.

It was the year before last.

Rappin Mikey · 08-11-2012, 07:25 PM

I'm gonna start calling you Johnny 2 times, Johnny two times

RickBomba · 08-11-2012, 07:49 PM

Just don't call me Spider.

SurfCaster413 · 08-11-2012, 10:47 PM

I'm in this year and what could I bring to help out.Food,drink tables?

Rappin Mikey · 08-12-2012, 08:14 AM

Picadilly has been closed for a bout three months. I chipped a tooth on a piece of popcorn in there anyway.

Ugh, Bob. I have a hard enough time making it through the thing without drink tables. Although the idea sounds fun.

Tables are always appreciated.

Last year I made bacon bourbon (not sure if I loved that one) and beach plum vodka (Christian liked that one), Kevin usually makes some kind of brandy or schnapps. I still have Kevin Jackson's blackberry brandy from last year in my sled...Even Rob stole a bottle of Jager from us one year, so the bases are pretty much covered.

We all kind of go independent on the food, but there's usually a pretty good spread for everybody, so bring what you like. Parksie got us some veal sausage from Providence that was awesome last year (from Fed-Rick, they make them special for the event).

Rob Rockcrawler · 08-12-2012, 11:43 AM

The Pic and the local bait shop are both closed now. There is a place close to the lake to get shiners but he is a crap shoot, also a place in Palmer, 2 towns west right on Rt 20. I will be there for sure this year, had to miss last years with the rod building class.

Rappin Mikey · 09-08-2012, 10:12 AM

New job, new baby might be tough for me to make both. I save my personal days for the big moon tides in June. We'll see though.

RickBomba · 09-08-2012, 04:11 PM

@Bob,
Mikey and I will make it to the party this year, without a doubt.
@Westport
At minimum, Matty and I will be going to Vermont. Mikey is going to try to make it. Send me the details when we get closer to Xmas. I'll send you along whatever you need from me.
Thanks,
Rick

Rob Rockcrawler · 09-09-2012, 08:41 PM

Good news, a new guy in town is starting to sell shiners tomorrow. Better news is that its at a package store.

Very Nice!

RickBomba · 09-16-2012, 01:34 PM

Just got snowshoes at Ocean State Job Lot. May be wishful thinking after last year. After the THABBIT, though, I figured that they may come in useful.

John, can you make this sticky?

Thanks,
Rick

RickBomba · 09-23-2012, 12:13 PM

Here's a link to the shirts. PM me if you'd like one. I'll be selling them for $23 plus shipping.

I would like to try to go this coming toury?

RickBomba · 11-04-2012, 05:25 PM

You can come anytime.

On a different note, the tourney Board of Directors was supposed to meet here today to sort out the traps, fire up the auger, charge the fishfinder, etc.

Once again, the only one who showed up was Phil Brown
