If I bring an auger will we need waders?

Anybody want to start talking about rooms? The Motel 8 is 2 miles from the site and right next to the Picadilly Pub, so no driving necessary. Rooms are very big and nice, and are $69 a night for two big beds. Depending on how many people we get to stay, there are discounts, as well. I'm heading out Friday night with most likely Foley, Brad, Matty, Phil, and maybe another, so we've already got three rooms for two nights. Let me know, and I'd be happy to book in advance.
Thanks,
Rick
Just checked, with the AAA discount, it's 62.10 a night!

OK Here's some info:
Start 7 AM End 2 PM
Brought to you by the Bombas and Striped Bass.com
Come meet the Bombas for an ice fishing extravaganza. Entry fee is one custom, wood plug or $15 per person. Prizes for three largest bass and three largest pickeral, by weight (there will most likely be other participants who enter with cash, so pre-determined rules to follow).
John, please make this sticky!
Come one, come all, you gonna loose you plugs!
Please register with me via pm, as we get closer to the event, I will provide tournament rules, prizes, and directions. I am also guessing that there will be an impromptu awards ceremony at a local restaurant to follow.
We will be checking the ice in the weeks leading up to the event, but we were out there last year, same week, and there was 8-10" safe ice (pretty warm last year). If the ice is not safe, date will be pushed back.
Later,
Rick

Since i live about 5 miles away on another lake i will keep up to date on the ice reports. My lake is now about 90% covered with a skim of ice. Yesterday we were at about 50%, the lack of wind did the trick last night.

It seems like there will be a good amount of people attending. Also there is a good amount of ice to cover. Will there be multiple spots to weigh a fish?

So 5 miles away from the SABBIT location there were people skating on my lake. It was in a cove and the two skaters were of questionable sobriety but they did not go thru the ice. This is by no means an endorsement of safe ice. The snow is not going to be helping the ice at all. But we are getting there.

the wind chill here is enormous ....it blows my mind that any creature can survive this ARTIC onslaught .... with a raging fire in the wood stove and electric heater going it's still way to cold
for me.... that 30 degrees and sunshine yesterday felt like summer ........
3 to -5 inches ice on Quabog pond... it freezes first !
then south....it had none thus far .........as of yesterday |

Just reserved my room at the S-8. I'll be there Friday night. I'm starting to get all revved up for this.  It's been over 15 years since I've ice fished! |

Casey,
Probably the best night to party with the Bombas would be Saturday, as Mikey will be staying that night!
Fred, we'll make sure to include you in the plans for Friday. I think we'll be at the Super 8, as well. They treated us great last year!
Later,
Rick

I have a pretty big flag I can dig up. If we can get a couple more we can mark the 3 weigh stations. How is the ice situation going?

Plenty of ice where I'm at a bit further down the pike. In fact, I'll be going for pike tomorrow. I'd say, as long as we don't have another 4 day warm front like that, and a few more days like today, we should have no worries.

I'm not at all interested in ice fishing,but I'd be interested in going to hang out,and consume anti-freeze.  If I get back home,by then,then maybe.  |
