Second Annual Bomba Bros Ice Tourney (SABBIT) - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

RickBomba · 11-07-2009, 06:53 PM

Well,
It might be a little early, but I thought I would announce the Second Annual Bomba Bros Ice Tourney, brought to you by S-B.com.

Date - Saturday, January 23, 2010
Site - East Brimfield Resevoir
Time - 7:00 Am to 2:00 Pm
Entry - $15 or Custom Wood Plug

Last year's event was great, with about 50 participants. Good food, good times, and awesome prizes! The winner last year got about a 6 pound bass right at the opening bell. Cheap lodging is close, about two miles from the lake. The Bombas will be there the night before, so we'll have festivites at the local Picadilly Pub on Friday and Saturday nights.

Please RSVP to this thread if you plan to attend. It's a great time, and a fun way to hang out with the S-B.com crowd before the fishing show scene starts.

John, can you make this thread sticky???

Rules, directions, and lodging details to follow.

Thanks,
Rick and Mike

I don't think Louie likes the cold...but if he hears that you're going, I'm sure he'll want in.

It's not the one that you think, but it's right near the one that you saw.

RickBomba · 11-08-2009, 12:17 PM

Super 8 in Sturbridge has huge rooms for $69 a night for those who would like to stay with the Bomba clan!

Starfish · 11-08-2009, 01:07 PM

Casey and I are hopefully in...starting a new job but we will see what the schedule will look like...

Rappin Mikey · 11-09-2009, 08:27 AM

I'm in. May I recommend a 7:00am-2:00pm time slot. I remember a certain person got pretty groggy after 2:00 last year.

RickBomba · 11-10-2009, 06:46 AM

7:00-2:00 it is!

foley · 11-10-2009, 04:03 PM

Can we play perch shoes?

RIJIMMY · 11-12-2009, 05:06 PM

guys, I have zero interest in ice fishing and hate the frikin cold, but for some reason my kids really have been bugging me to take them ice fishing after watching it on OTW tv. Im never going to invest the time/money to do it so....Is this a kid friendly event? Can we stop by for an hour or two and pretend they have a Dad that has a clue? I can bring food or whatever.

Rappin Mikey · 11-12-2009, 05:13 PM

Of course it is kid friendly. I mean, Ricky gets a bit wobbly by the end of the day, but he's harmless. A good number of our participants (and a few winners) were youngens last year. I'll have my auger to make getting set up for you a bit easier. PM me for more info on gear if you want.

The Dad Fisherman · 11-12-2009, 05:34 PM

Jimmy, I got access to an underwater camera that I'm planning on bringing so the kids can check out what goes on under the ice.

Ya drill 2 holes side by side...one for the camera and one for them to jig through. They get to watch as the fish come swimming up to check things out.

Tynan brought his little guys lasy last year....if you're nice you might be able to talk him into a "Super Push"

RickBomba · 11-12-2009, 06:23 PM

Yes, it's absolutely kid friendly...just make sure you get a MA license and you're good to go. I think we could spot you a jiggin stick or two, and somebody probably has bait. Kev's underwater camera sounds awesome, too.
I wasn't that wobbly last year!!!
Later,
Rick

Louie asked me what day the tourney is this morning. He says "What do you mean, I don't like the cold??? I don't mind the cold. Well, really, I HATE the freaking cold and when me and Mary retire, we're moving to Florida. Now when's that tournament we're going to fish in with Billy!"

tynan19 · 11-12-2009, 09:56 PM

Really didn't want to hear the words " Super Push " again Kevin. Can't wait a fun time for sure.

RIJIMMY · 11-13-2009, 09:24 AM

ok - count me in. Thanks and look forward to it.

InTheHole · 11-13-2009, 01:02 PM
