BCI Derby
« on: Jan 29, 2007, 06:50 PM »
Anybody here going to the big derby at the Nip on Saturday?  Maybe a mini Shanty get together on the ice is possible.

I am doing the same Kivva.   I fished the pond a little bit today by the small island that used to have the house on it.   I caught two fish that I so wish I could catch next week.   I also saw some people get a couple of good ones in that area on my Sunday stroll around the place.  Others that I talked to plan to get there around that 3am like buckmanjr.   I guess I may have to set my alarm.   The catching of bait went a little slow this afternoon but I think one more effort should get me enough.

I don't think we'll be getting there that early, but I'm hoping to be there by 5!

I had heard that registration was going to be out by the big island.  The boat ramp makes more sense though.

The initial derby registration will take place at the state boat ramp ,located off rte.104,and once people have checked in we will move to the center island to be more central for weigh-ins.Hope to meet alot of you shanty guys that day!
Good luck,be safe and look for a great day and hearty turn-out.
Tom's bait&tackle will be opening early the day of,and once I know the exact time I will post it a.s.a.p.

Take 495 to Rt 24 N.  You will be on 24 for just a couple minutes - take the RT104 exit(just after BK).  Take a left at the end of the ramp, go over the highway and the pond will be directly on your right.  Can't miss it.  Parking is ample across the street from the pond in the commuter lot.

Did a newspaper story today by request from the Taunton Gazette,which included a photo shoot on the nip this afternoon.It went well and they are going to cover the tournament on saturday.Very interested in the theme of ice fishing,so they say. According to the pre-regist.and web info.,this will be a good if not super turn-out.
               (P.S.) Forcast looks great!!    ~~~WIZZARD~~~

That's fine as long as we have all info on the fisherman,including fishing licenses.
I am constantly getting mailers daily so expect a surprise as far as contestants.
Hope to meet you at the desk,
