Hello Fellow Iceaholics

Despite the weather last year, the gathering at Moraine went well. Who is up for a second annual get together? Sunday December 5th looks to be a good day, the Steelers are playing late, the Syracuse Ice Show is the following week, after that it is getting close to Christmas.

If enough of you are in agreement, I will make arrangements with the DCNR for:
Sunday, December 5th
Noon until 3-4:00PM
Everyone bring something.

"The Gathering" sounds like an ice fisher's kinda shin dig, almost tribal. Wish I was closer, but hopefully I'll be buried filling orders from 1st ice by then.

Are any of you guys fishing the NEIT events this year?

Byron/PA · « **Reply #12 on:** Oct 08, 2010, 06:02 PM »

Sounds like fun. I'll be busy working the Cabelas Ice days in Hartford CT, and some guys will be at the Hamburg location for thier event................. .........but it sounds like a good time.

Eddie Spaghetti · « **Reply #14 on:** Oct 10, 2010, 03:44 PM »

Ice Wagon, you are correct, an party on land to kick off the season! We had ice last year, but it was mostly on the roads.

I should be there on the 5th, see you all then.
