FoABBIT Fourth Annual Bomba Bro's Ice Fishing Tourney

[SurfCaster413]

Not looking good for me and my crew now

[RickBomba]

Well, now this is depressing...Well, we will be there!

[JackK]

I'm still in so long as there is ice, plus one, maybe plus three

[Rappin Mikey]

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!

[RickBomba]

Yup,
We are a go from my end. Looked at the temps above freezing there in the next week, and there is only one day (Sat) where the net temp will be above freezing (I mean high minus low).

I'll see everybody there. We will be at the hotel on Friday night in case anybody wants to hang out then.

781-439-1918.

Thanks,
Rick

Hi Everyone,
I spoke to the tackle shop today and the ice is not safe to fish. We will be moving the FoABBIT to Saturday, February 11th, 2012. Time and location will be the same. I will be calling the hotel to try to re-book my rooms on Monday (I need to speak to the manager).

Hope this works for everybody that might have wanted to go.

Thanks!!!
Rick

[RickBomba]

Very nice, Dana...Now JAAAAAAAAAAY, will you guys be there? Kind of the same date as we would spend for the TFCTFN, just more North?

[Rob Rockcrawler]

[Rob Rockcrawler]

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

[striperman36]

Ha, I'll get some ukriain moonshine

[RickBomba]

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

how so Bill?
i figure it this way

$29.00 2012 fishin License
$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
~
Our money has been spent for DR.visit co-pays
and prescriptions ONLY and the price of
food has long since doubled!

[JohnR]

95% in for Liam & I on the 11th. Followed by a trip with the Scouts to Coco Key. We might need to leave by 10am or so....

If you were coming I might attend, that's how.

[RickBomba]

Just spoke to the woman at the Super 8. She charged me $50 to move the rooms for two nights!!! I later found out that she noped Phil Brown when he tried to move his 20 minutes later. Good luck if anybody has got rooms and needs to change them!
Sorry,
Rick

I have never heard of such a thing. Usually you can cancel a week before with no charge. Make sure you drop an upper decker before you leave.

[RickBomba]

Yeah,
We got cut-rate rooms because we booked them so far in advance. I can see if this was done through Priceline, or one of those sights, but this was done right through Super 8.

The woman said, oh yeah, well that's corporate and this is our motel, so you need to pay the penalty to us...she eventually called Phil back and said that she misunderstood him, but he still paid the penalty for rebooking. $25 per night, per room, plus tax. I guess it's better than losing the whole $130 for the weekend, that she told me I would lose in the first place.

I may be able to do the 11th with the wrong side of the lake gang
