Never been to Bomo so it would be a good chance to learn a new lake and learn some tips from other guys.

I think I would go if there was a get together in VT- I'm from NY though so I can't gurantee anything. It sounds like an awesome idea!

Sorry biwiggle, it has been quite a while since I had to type your name here on IS

I fished the frostbite derby this year on November 2. Out of Charlotte Vermont And that was a lot of fun and there was about 50 fisherman fishing in that derby. There was no entry free. Everyone brought food and drinks so there was a ton of food and there was a very nice trophy given to the biggest salmon. If we can set this up like the frostbite derby this would be a blast. I say we designate one fish for the trophy and the biggest fish of the day will take the trophy determined by a length and poundage. For example if you decide to fish lake bomo seen a good fish species to designate would be either brown trout or pike because those are the fish that are going to be the biggest coming out of the lake bomoseen.

Since when is Bomo in central VT? I THINK MOST WOULD AGREE THAT IS IN s. vt, not to sound picky...

RipSomeLips22 · « **Reply #40 on:** Nov 29, 2013, 06:54 PM »

Bomo is definitely not central vt, if anything is call it south western

vtbuckrulrss · « **Reply #41 on:** Nov 30, 2013, 06:35 AM »

Berlin Pond, now that would be considered Central VT.

Big Dee · « **Reply #42 on:** Nov 30, 2013, 10:43 AM »

That sounds like a great idea...I would love to come for that

Big Dee · « **Reply #43 on:** Nov 30, 2013, 10:48 AM »

ICE HOOK ANY NEW INFO ON THE 2014 get together?

BigCountryVT · « **Reply #44 on:** Dec 05, 2013, 12:53 PM »

Yes this just in, I heard that its mandatory for everyone to be over the Legal Limit before all Tip-Ups are in. If you have any further questions you can contact me. Thanks again BigCountry

I'm a little confused with this thread. Do we have a weekend to circle on the calendar yet?

The most central body of water in the state is Chittenden Reservoir. It's within 5 miles of the same distance by road from Highgate Springs as it is to Pownal, and within 7 miles of center of the state East and West.

vtbuckrulrss · « **Reply #48 on:** Dec 23, 2013, 05:09 AM »

No, no no no no. Everyone knows VT ends at rt 302 and rt 15, the rest is the dmz between VT and that other place....a buffer zone if you will.

I think we should be thinking about a central location based on population density not geographically. I also think that we need to consider what the location can handle, as in, size of the lake, parking, accessibility, and the most important, a strong fish population.

TroutWhisperer · « **Reply #50 on:** Dec 23, 2013, 08:18 AM »

Berlin Pond is a bad, bad, bad idea! The fight for an official access is still ongoing. The state is in the decision making process regarding Montpelier's petition to ban gas augers and all shanties. A few locals don't like to see different colored shanties on the ice. They want to keep it "pristine". Never mind the fact that there is only enough legal parking for about 8 trucks.

To me, the obvious place would be one of the bays with good parking on Champlain.

I agree with this. No matter where it is people are going to complain about distance so we should pick a large body of water with a lot of parking. Maybe somehow break it down to 3-5 bodies of water and take a group vote that our moderator could keep track of? Just a thought.

I think will is right....that was the same thing I was thinking travel is now a problem for me long as I can meet my ice shanty brothers I'm all for it whenever and where ever...

mempfree · « **Reply #53 on:** Dec 28, 2013, 12:59 PM »

I would say, somewhere on Lake Champlain. I live in the NEK of Vermont. I would have to travel, at least 60 miles or more, but if I had a place to stay over night, after the get together, that would be fine. Trout season, starts, the second Saturday, in January. I am usually, fishing up here, on a local lake for that, with family and friends.

thebigwiggle · « **Reply #54 on:** Jan 06, 2014, 10:51 PM »

I havent heard anything on this . IceHook are you sill planning on doing this?

I also agree with this. I think it should be a February event.

BigCountryVT · « **Reply #56 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 07:03 PM »

I'm thinkin BOMOSEEN all the way, Biggest Lake in Vermont and its fairly Central.

vtbuckrulrss · « **Reply #57 on:** Jan 11, 2014, 01:44 PM »

It's below rt 302. That area south of there is classified as Massachusetts. Doesn't count.

Green Mountain Boy · « **Reply #58 on:** Jan 28, 2014, 08:37 AM »

Bomo and/or several other neighboring waters which have nearby services, parking, quality fishery as evidence and an important consideration of acsess to a bait shop.
