I think we'll be fine....still got 2 weeks to go and some frigid air coming in.

I'll bring a rope just in case

Thanks Casey. BTW, Mikey is trying to get me to go ice fishing with him tomorrow in Granby. He said he found ice that had holes punched in it. I told him I would pass.
Later,
Rick

Yupo. I was on some ice today. I didn't fish, but someone had as it was all like a piece of swiss. Got a trip to Cabellas tommorrow, but I see ice fishing the first day of the year.

Thanks for the reports Mikey and Casey! I will take a trip out there next Saturday and see what I see. If there's ice across the pond, then I'll hope for good ice in the next week.

If not...then I'll be spending time at a motel in Gardner with five of my best buds for the weekend. I'll let everybody know next weekend..but I would share VB's opinion. I Guarantee!

OK, now it looks like too many people are jumping ship! Can I get a roll call for those who still plan to attend? Is this just going to be a Bomba Bro's only event (my crew and Shawno)?

I think the last two days have pretty much sealed the deal. With every night below freezing up until the 14th, I'd say it is a lock!

Everything is better on the rocks.

I thought that was a Bomba creation. My rod is going to be ugly enough without breakfast flavored vodka.

Nope...Beach Plum Vodka...Bacon Bourbon. Had a snifter of the bacon bourbon last night. Good stuff. Too bad about Saltheart's rod building class...this was the only other weekend that we could swing.

Can I get a new rollcall when people get a chance?

Thanks,
Rick

$30.00 Bucks for an ice fishin rod
$15.00 entree fee
$20.00 for a steak (on the grill Maybe)
$10.00 gasoline there and back
$10.00 shiners
roughly 100 bucks required
