Very nice day on the ice. I might remember a few names. More luck with the site names for now. Look forward to meeting up with you guys in the future. Wanna plan on an annual up this way? Maybe something a little more westerly x southerly.....Closer to MG and Bee.

Bee and MG, glad you could make it!  Long drive....

Maybe a couple of you guys would like to try one of the ponds my side of the penobscott in a week or so. I'm gonna give one of the ponds a real goin over this winter.

Yeh, The electronics make a difference! It's good to see the fish are there even if they won't take anything. Like my brother says,"Find the fish and stay on 'em 'til they're hungry."

Let's do it again tomorrow! 

It was great to meet everyone.  Thanks to Kevin for showing me the ropes, the filleting, and the Vex.

I had a crew of my own to entertain so didn't get to visit with the IS crew as much as I would have liked, but look forward to seeing you all again.

Sounds good to me.

Hey Mad Trapper, I'm planning on Plymouth one day next week. I'll probably start around the "Deep Hole"
Any suggestions. You be up for it?

 I'm in let me know what day.

Looks like a pretty good chance to get on and get there. No big walk. I'm thinkin mid week....lookin over the weather will tell which day.

Next Weekend I think I'll either hit Graham as hard as I can or one of those ponds east of the Penobscot. Kevin you wanna join me/us? Anybody else? No Big walks here either...

Bee's and my fish from meet and greet. I think bee uses smaller hooks than me or I need a smaller knife.

Thanks Bee! Maybe we can hookup next week. I'd really like to do a day at Snake Pond. You Snopro?

That's it for this thread.....BYE
