TABBIT Thread Let's Start to Get it on!

[tynan19]

When I got off the ice yesterday there was 4-6 inches of wet slush. The lake varies with snow, crust and slush. Thinking the snow would certainly stay on the lake as all the other storms have as well. The parking area before the snow was in great shape. There is plenty of parking along the road as well. It is corps of engineers land so it wont be a problem to park. I may not be able to trailer with the little parking as the road is too narrow and I don't want to take up a few spots in the lot. Probably just bring one sled in the truck.

Rick, when does the grill get fired up?

Lake has about 8-10" of snow on it, then a thin crust, then 3-4" of slush.8" of ice under that. Maybe if were lucky the slush will set up a bit tonight.

Lets pray that slush sets up overnight. I keep telling myself it's going to be great and easy to hike through. I hope I'm right. Its 26 now dropping all the way down to 5 by tonight. I still think we may be alright. Was that top layer of snow fluffy stuff?

How safe / dangerous is this?

Should be fine... Rob and I just fished the lake near his house... I may have used up all my mojo early

Slush gets worse as you walk around on it, but there appears to be at least 8" of ice underneath the crapola.

Hey John... Can you bring some stickers? Hopefully there won't be any random women on bikes to steal mine this time

Problem is the snow acts like a blanket. If you have snowshoes bring them. Jack K does rob live on the lake?

very true, that's why it was slushy today

[JackK]

Snowshoes would be key. Very fluffy and light snow. Rob lives on a nearby lake, but we stopped and checked out brimfield while we were out buying all the shiners in Sturbridge.

On a side note, we'll have shiners for sale at the tourney. $30 a dozen

somebody should have some eels left

[tynan19]

Lol good one on the shiners. Was wondering if he lived on lake to park trailer for sleds thats all. Thanks.

[JackK]

There are fish around... Stopped at a honeyhole, traps were in the water for ~ 5 minutes and pulled out this beaut. Get ready!

[mag minnow]

Nice! whee are the Bombas though?

[Green Light]

Hi All!

The weather cooperated.
The fishing was good.
The catching was slow.
The tasting of home made brews was awesome!
It was nice to put handles to faces and meet people in person.
A much appreciated THANK YOU! to the organizers.

Tight lines,
Fish360

PS
The Irish stew was so good I can now speak Gaelic. ;-)

Another great BBITT, awesome time, lots of good food, drink and people. I wish there were a few more flags but it doesnt really matter.

[Rappin Mikey]

uughh!

I was there but I am an idiot. I went out with two of my buddies and they studied the lake and thought the south side of the bridge would be the ticket. We were there pretty early and as I made trip number two to the truck I realized everybody was fishing the north side of the bridge. We did manage 16 fish 3 bass and 13 pickerel. I feel like an anti social buffoon but to be honest by the time we set up started a fire and hiked across 6" of snow with 6" of slush underneath my fat a@# wasn't moving. I am bummed I missed out on the festivities across the way but we did catch a bunch of fish.

This is a video my friend mike put together of our day. Set to the Jimmy Houston theme song.
