11th Annual Bartons Cove Gathering Feb. 3
« on: Jan 04, 2018, 06:56 AM »
It's that time again for the 11th annual Ice Shanty Bartons Cove Gathering !
                                             
That'sright folks, a full day featuring  Feasting, Drinking , Jigging, Peppermint Patties, Flying Fish,
Shrimp on the Barbi', wind, "Ron Inhales Deeply With Pursed Lips", Portakevich and the Russians,
Wind, Atomic hook sets, Frozen Shiners, Laughter, Moonshine, Pondie Porn, Home Brew,  chowder,
Olympic Table Lugging, Spanky, Pie in a Jar, wind and a little fishing thrown in.

Come visit some of Ice Shanty's history and help make legends of the future.

     
                                                            What:    A gathering of the IceShanty tribe for bass, brats and B.S.

                                                            When:   Sat, Feb. 3th from sun up to whenever. Foul weather date Sat. Feb. 10

                                                            Where:  Bartons Cove on the the Conn. River just off of Rt 2 Gill, Ma. at the Power company                                                                                   
                                                                          campground.  Use Main Rd. Gill for Mapquest Etc.  (about 1/4 mile further down Rt.2)


There is a large parking area that can accommodate 50 + vehicles.  It is an easy commute from anywhere as it is directly off of Rt. 2 not far from Rt. 91 in Gill MA just above the Turners Falls dam. For mapquest etc. use Main Rd Gill.  You can expect to catch everything from Perch to Pike and all things in between.  Several Walleye have hit the ice.  We have iced pike at every gathering with several getting their first pike ever.  We also had at least two people who iced their first fish ever!.    Years past have been a great time and this year should be better than ever.  If you can only make one organized event this year, this is the one to make!


So, who is in ?

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad.

Good to hear from some of you previous attendees.  I don't think there will be any worry about ice thickness this year!

Their is a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid.

There usually is.  Last year Bisceglia's (sp?) little daughter landed a nice pike.  Naturally, if it is bitter it is hard on the little ones and not as many but I know my 5 yo Grandniece will be out there jigging.  Look forward to meeting you.

Ricky!  It would hardly be a gathering without you!  It will be good to see you again sangell.  The gang is starting to grow!  Another banner year and hopefully some banner fish!
