8th Anual Bartons Cove Gathering Feb. 1st
« on: Jan 01, 2014, 09:34 AM »
It's that time again for the 8th 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, 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. 1st from sun up to whenever.  Foul weather date Sun Feb. 8th

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.  Last year a nice Walleye 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!.  We are going to continue with the take it and leave it raffle this year as well.  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!

If there is snow to push, it will go to the snow date as I do snow removal as well.

Be good to see you again FRED, just don't let a pesky perch ruin your meet up plans :)

Good to hear from you Pilgrim!  As I recall, you caught your first fish through the ice ever at a Cove gathering.  Maybe this year we can get you one of these!

It's been the first weekend in Feb. since before there was an Emma so I think the scheduling snafu has to be place on your lovely wife   ;D  Sorry you can't make it, it has been to long since we have shared some ice.  Em will be big enough to travel next year and you can give her a special birthday present. ;)
