Thumper · 07-21-2010, 03:32 PM

BassDawg · 07-21-2010, 03:40 PM

AUG 7th sounds good for me, had a BLAST last year!!!

i'm IN and will bring lamb/stk tips from J Pace's, grilled chx carribe from my house,
and an assortment of brews from around the world.

a camp grill, some plates, plastic cutlery, chairs, and H2O.
could someone please bring tables, like last year? that made cooking and serving much easier.

prolly score sum eeeeels from Kay before we hit tha surf,
it's impossible for me to be THAT close to Surfland and not p/up sumthin'~~~

August 7 BBQ in Newbury,at the bridge to Plum Island, in the parking lot. I believe we are meeting around 3pm for BBQ. Then split up to fish the many areas the North Shore offers.

I will show what I know of local access here in Marblehead to those that want to fish here, after we hit Plum Island. I hope we can fish the new sandbar, as we did last year. Marblehead is about a 40 minute ride south from Plum Island.( By the time we got to Mhead, the surf had blown up and we got blown off the best spots....)

So, time to put up. Who is coming? What area are you interested in fishing? (Look at a map, find those areas you have heard of yet haven't fished...) What locals would be willing to guide some folks round their haunts, be it Plum Island, Manchester, Gloucester or wherever? Some folks went north to Maine as I recall.

t.orlando · 07-21-2010, 04:20 PM

I'm gonna try and make it, always wanted to hit the North shore.

american spirit · 07-21-2010, 04:38 PM

shouldn't we start a sticky for who's bringing what?

and if Tony and BB don't show, i'll share some RKPT/MGNLA spots with those interested.
be sure yer Korkers are loaded with fresh spikes, it can get steep and weedy at some spots~~

BBQ isn't until 3pm. You could even get in a half day and make it if you had to.....

linesider69 · 07-21-2010, 05:26 PM

I will try to make this one.

Redsoxticket · 07-21-2010, 05:42 PM

I'm in. Thanks ahead for those willing to guide us out of town folks that are not familiar with the area.

Rob Rockcrawler · 07-21-2010, 06:23 PM

Id like to attend this one. The timing sounds good so far.

redlite · 07-21-2010, 06:35 PM

Will check it out with the boss (this married life B.S is gettin old). I hope to be able to make it this year. Been a while since we have actually had a leg and had more than the same 10 people show up........

late-start · 07-21-2010, 06:46 PM

I'm 95% in. Looking forward to meeting some of you

Finaddict · 07-21-2010, 08:29 PM

Depends - My cousin's daughter is getting married the following weekend and I offered my services to help his family get things in order ... so hopefully things can get squared away early enough ... BTW, Sydney's mom no longer lives on the island - so that parking space, facility access is no longer viable.

snake slinger · 07-22-2010, 04:47 AM

cant make it

Surfland Fishing Report

Don't forget to bring your kayak, if you have one. Parker River and Joppa Flats are local gems to fish from a yak.
Last time I was at Surfland, there was also activity for flounder fishing in the afternoon.
Though others know it better, I would hope all attendees do a little research about Plum Island, parking, overnight fees, etc. I'm hoping Tattoobob and PlumCrazy chime in and can make it!

The Dad Fisherman · 07-22-2010, 08:12 AM

Just as an FYI.....9:47 High that night.

Rockfish9 · 07-22-2010, 08:36 AM

Seeing as this is my playground, I ought to show up for this one....I've got room for two in my boat if someone wants to put up with a cantakerous little reef rat....

This offer is very tempting as I have always wanted to meet you and a chance to fish with you, but I'm not sure if I would be comfortable on a boat wearing my wetsuit.

You'd be better off than the mistake I made by showing up in shorts....the damn bugs Tore...Me....Up. I was scratching for days

and there's nothing Cantankerous about Joe.....it was one of the most enjoyable nights of fishing I ever had....once I bug Sprayed up

Slick Moedee · 07-22-2010, 09:47 AM

Damn it. I'll be up in the Mountains on vaca that week/weekend. Bummed out that I can't put some faces/voices to the rants.

Enjoy. P.S. there are not fish on the N.S.

count me in if I can, maybe Paul too
or we can do it some other time if you can

tattoobob · 07-22-2010, 10:30 AM

I will try to come, I will most likely take my son and we will probably take the kayaks, Ross I haven't fished Plum Island this year that's my fall fishing local but I did hear of tons of stripers and flounder from the beach Lot 1 of the refuge.
