[Roncarr]

Count me in. I'll bring the chili

[unoman]

Amen Ron...that veni chili was awesome....

[pikeking]

Just wondering if this has been updated? How many are going for sure and how many are questionable?

[Roncarr]

I thuoght it was stew he marinated the veni in teryaki first them made the stew if its the same donnie
if it is I'm willing to trade a home made shinner trap for the whole recipe in detail

[unoman]

sounds like 20-30 coming to bartons although last year we were supposed to have over 20 and there were only 10 of us or so....alot of no shows....but both bartons and bare hill were in their first year.....bare hill ended up being 18 of us.....its catching on....the more the better....

[crazycrawler]

[unoman]

[crazycrawler]

 I'm deciding between Derby's going on and places to go , you know what I mean all around the same dates.

[crazycrawler]

A little tourney would be alot more interesting, and get more people if thats what the Cove wanted.

[unoman]

well...both gatherings are about meeting up with shanty guys from across the state..the derby is secondary.....

[Imissedem]

Well I`m not worried a derby /if the captain puts one together thats fine also but i am just looking forward to this one.This thaw worries me though in RI. May have to fish N.W. Mass. sooner than we thought.

[Roncarr]

I dont' think the captain will care we could have a little bucket and who ever wants to put in x amount 5-10 get in biggest overall fish takes all everyone gets a number 1 thruogh how ever many so we know how much should be in there leave the bucket under one of the grills.  sound like its gonna be a full blown buffet!!!!!!

Ron how long of a drive for you from Foxboro 2hrs and do you shoot up the mass pike or diff. route?

[capt.shay]

Exactly Unoman !  Also, if we start calling it a tourney I would have to pull a permit on this body of water.  I really don't want to have to go through that kind of hassle or pay whatever fee I'm sure is associated with it.  Now, on the other hand, if someone unoman was to get a bucket and he unoman collected say, five or ten oreos from each person who chose to participate and then he unoman gave all those oreos to the person who caught the biggest fish, who would I be to say he couldn't. 

Just a little over three weeks away and I'm getting pumped !  Heard of a 17lb pike that came out of there last weekend and a rumor of of a nice walleye as well.  As of now we have 24 confirmed and another dozen maybes.   If you are on the fence on this one lets hear from you.  A good time is guaranteed !

Many Flags,

Sounds like a great group of guys.......unfortunatl ey I am going to have to pass this year. It's quite a hike for me.
Looking forward to hearing the stories and seeing the pics. 

[crazycrawler]

Well put Capt, yes I'm a maybe, if I can get a buddy or two to come, it's more likely, thanks for the reply.

[unoman]

Well said Capt Shay...

same concern for me here at Bare Hill....I just call them points in stead of oreos...lol....

It'll all work out....lookin forward to it...pray for cold..Karl

[pikeking]

I was just in another topic and suggested that shanty guys get together after the a1 bassmasters tourney on big chauncy! I saw this after!  

I'm in!

The only thing is that if it gets pushed to the 9th, I'm on chauncy for the tourney.

Never been on the river and I am ALWAYS up for a new place to fish.

So... I can have my wife cook up a huge batch of homeade clam chowdah. It's the best!

Cool!

Flaggs!

[unoman]

be good to see you there flaggs

two of us shanty guys are bringing chowder already..bring it if you want but dont feel you have to...

I think Shay waved off more food a while ago...its a feast already...just come and enjoy...

unless chauncey is moved...we will see you there...K

No Clam chowda yet so bring it on.  Just don't make to big a batch so you don't have to take any home.  I wasn't trying to discourage people from bringing different dishes, just didn't want to have to much of the same thing (and you know I love your chowda Uno  ) .  This is shaping up to be a hard water feast !!! Just got a PM from a friend who is a pro chef who is 90% in and can't wait to hear what he is bringing.  What a great time this is going up to be.

B.T.W.  We still don't have any one bringing Broughts, and it wouldn't be an ice feast without them, so if anyone is wondering what to bring, there is an idea.

Look forward to seeing you Flaggs and I'm adding you to the list.

Tight Lines,

[unoman]

Shay

good point...someone needs to bring the braughts......clam chowder would actually be good as this year I am mixing it up and making pollock/fish chowder (with a few clams)....pollock straight from the boat in Oct...yum....

if no one steps up for the braughts (sp?)...I'll grab some....

man..gonna go home happy and fat...love it...any time for fishing on this one?....these east/west gathering events could shape up to be a long tradition.....pretty soon you and I will need agents..LOL...

Im hoping my buddy Lenz will bring some of that polish whateveryoucallit thats about 100 proof for dessert......buwah
