Yup!!

Wasn't it at the Ale house in Gardner the last few years?
Maybe a bigger venue in Leominster (more central location?), Like TGI Fridays?
Then we can all stagger across the street to Dicks and raid their ice fishing stuffs lol. I was there yesterday, they all ready have some stuff out.

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad.

W-Mass is seceding from The Commonwealth and forming a new state called WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS. You will now need a non-resident fishing license to fish anywhere west
of the eastern shore of the Ct.River.  We could possibly move the line a bit further east if the majority there are not satisfied with their politician's logic/fallacy.

Let's break completely and become the state of Southern Vt.   We keep the Quabin and sell Eastern Ma the water for an exorbitant price that they can and will pay and we do nothing all day but fish  ;D

What about a sportsman's club and we just do pot luck... Room to bring some of our old/new stuff, play with knots and tackle? I am not a member anywhere local, but I bet we can find someplace like that?

im in. someone pick a time/date/place. i like the pot luck idea if that is possible. i think alot of clubs make $ on the space so that might not be doable. fridays restaurant sounds good. i liked the yr we did bucks bbq. frozen shiner set that up one yr but u western guys probably wont show for that 1.

I can travel anywhere outside of basically the 128/95 belt.  This time of year, the cape is all good, and so is anything ~15+ miles east of the NY border.  It is against my religion to travel inside of the 128/95 belt, period.

Realistically, the less west of Worcester, the higher the turnout rate, IMO.  Worcester - Westboro is probably the most accessibly real estate in the state.  I'm a huge fan of GAH, but people from boston area probably think it's 'wicked fah' away.

Is someone going to get this going? We need to have a Wedding party at the same time for one of the Grumpy Old Goats... He knows who he is. Got married without telling everyone. Mighty nice of him. I offered to get him a wig so he would feel younger for the wedding but he told to to #%&* off... I think most of you will know who I am talking about. He will  see this and post something nasty. Lets get something going soon, winter is coming...

i think the mystery man's marriage license comes with a no fishing clause. im not sure but i think the GODS are even considering revolking his membership. we might have to take actions into our own hands and apply to the state for a special provision to the marrage contract that frees him up to hang out with his FRIENDS.  ;)

That he did and she's an Angel. He'll probably be out there more than ever.
After all he is a pain in the A$$ and you can take just so much of him.
Do you think I would tolorate him as much as I do if he didn't have that Gator. ;D ;D ;D

Art is a gentle man, just ask his flock of sheep... ;D

I am glad he found someone to love. he told me that she doesn't mind if he goes fishing. I hope to see him a few times this winter. Everyone needs a companion, Jigger will be sad, but Art said he will be keeping his auger a little longer.
