So here is the deal.
I am going up to Worthing's Smelt Camp for the 1800 tide (incoming) and 2345 tide (outgoing). I already have a shanty set aside for myself. Usually, I go solo and fish through the night and make the drive back at dawn.
But, a bunch of guys have showed some interest and I thought this might be a good opportunity for us to get a group together for a smeltapalooza 2012! Here is how it would work.
Each person or group would be responsible for their own travel there and back. It is about a 3.5 - 4 hour drive.
Each person or group would be responsible for their own shack rental. Call Worthings at 207-582-3199 24/7/365 to make your reservation. I will be in a shanty to the right as you come down the ramp. Ask for one in that area and tell them you are with the Ice Shanty group from RI.
For gear, all you need is a ultra light jig pole with a small tear drop jig or sabiki and a 1/2 oz weight. They provide the seaworm bait there either included or for a nominal fee.
To give you some idea of the cost, a 2 person shack is $25 a tide and a 4 person shack is 45 a tide. I am fishing both tides. But you can come and go as you please. It is a BYOB event, but remember you have a 4 hour drive home.
So wha' chew tink' mon?
