It's gonna be like a strong man competition pulling the gear out there. That will keep you warm for the first hour or so. Bring your mittens!

I may have to dig out my old Artic Cat Cougar for this one. I didn't want to bring it but she may have to tag along.

Looks like there's gonna be a big pocket of warmer rain that pushed up between Worcester and Springfield between 2 to 8 today. We might get lucky and have it pack some of the snow down. We'll see...

Looks like epic conditions for the Tabbit. Maybe we can get Jim Cantore out there.

I will be charging $5 a head for a taxi ride out onto the ice lol. Gear included. Problem will be parking the trailer since I will probably bring two sleds.

This may turn into "Survival of the Fittest' as opposed to a fishing derby... : )

Extra kids division maybe? Seeing as we'll have a fair amount of Yutes.

I checked the ice on my lake today. 6" of slush on top of 6-7" of perfect black ice. It was a bit messy but solid underneath.

Hopefully that slush will set up before the snow comes. |

I think we'll just be doing the 5 biggest bass, 5 biggest pickeral and 3 wildcards, and maybe we can talk about how we want to set the kids' prizes up for next year.

Im ready, tried the new hand auger last night. Nils Master high speed, that thing is scary fast. Just a heads up to anyone coming, i know we are all responsible people but i need to caution everyone about the sturbridge police force. They win all sorts of awards every year for bagging tons of people for DUI, they are in force all the time. So just be careful out there.

So I'm not the only guy left in the world who still uses a hand auger...I have a Lazer and a Mora, both 6" that I typically use. Unfortuneately, I usually don't need a hole bigger than 6" to get the fish out of the ponds...

Rob,
I see your local, any idea what the Bait Shop hours are out by you? Someone suggested The Sportsman's Cellar...Any other spots to pick up bait?
Thanks,

He is the only place in town that i am aware of. There is someone off of Champeaux Rd a bit past the lake but i dont know anything about them. I believe the sportsman cellar is open at 6. No later than that.

That's why we didn't drive a mile to party with the Bomba's last year. We were warned by the hotel and a convenience store that the cops do nothing but bag DUI's all day and night. Where did you get the Nils? I can't find them in stock anywhere. I need to hook up with you at some point and drill a hole with that thing. I saw a video that I was very impressed with. I have a gas auger but wouldn't mind a hand like that for trout and salmon fishing. |

Yup,
This is why we just get there and stay Friday and get to the ice and back on Saturday. Not a place to be F-d with! |

Merrimac sport has them in stock. We got the last one but he said he was getting 10 more in today. After testing it last night, I gotta say its as fast or faster than most gas augers I've used. Pretty wild piece of equipment!

Just ordered the last 8inch he had. He said it was their last shipment for the year. He's been shipping them all over the states because nobody can keep them in stock. Thanks for the heads up. |
