I haven't been since year 2 or 3, maybe I'll make a return this year.  Can't promise anything though, right around the time of the twins b-day and i don't know when the wife is planning the party
It would be great to see you at the cove again.

I'll be there with one or two guests.
Sounds like a plan!

Any recommendations for bait near there or would I be better off stocking up before making the drive?
Welcome and indeed there is a bait shop about 5 minutes away but he doesn't open until 7:00.  Flaggs is just off RT.2 and is a good bet as well.  I would stock up the night before if you can.


The list is getting long already, this should be a great gathering!

Steel leaders and big baits!  See you on the sixth.

 I made it last year with NBbrian and would like to try to make it this year but it will depend on my work schedule.

Ya know what they say about excuses Mark ;D

Hope you can make it.  I'll pencil you in.

This might be a good time to throw this out there.  I do snow removal for a living.  If we get a storm, I will have to go to the foul weather date.  That is why I put it in there every year.

I can't make this one. Canine SAR team trainings on Saturdays, so I'll be in the woods playing hide and seek with dogs. Good luck playing hide and seek with the pike, guys!

Search and rescue. A dog and one person can find lost people faster and easier than at least 40 people. You can't escape the nose!

I'm pretty sure Dad's planning on going, he always has a good time.

It is an easy commute from anywhere as it is directly off of Rt. 2     hahahaha   not from the cape.  but if no conflicts, I'll stay out there somewhere and make it a short commute.

I will see if I can prevent my buddy, Nick from falling through old holes this time. Last time we were all circled up talking and he took one step and one whole leg was gone.  At least it was funny.  :tipup:

Hi All,

Relative newbie to the site, but not new to the game. I am in, and will look forward to meeting everyone. I'll be hard to miss, a great big ewok in a Striker Hardwater Suit.

We came a couple years ago (which was also the last time/only time I posted. I'm back to my silent creeper ways!) and it was a lot of fun. We will plan on coming by this year!
