Bartons Cove Gathering Feb. 4th
« on: Jan 08, 2012, 05:51 PM »
It's that time again folks for the 6th annual Ice Shanty Bartons cove gathering !  That's
right folks, a full day featuring  Feasting, Drinking , Jigging, Peppermint Patties, Flying Fish,
Shrimp on the Barbi', "Ron Inhales Deeply With Pursed Lips", Portakevich and the Russians,
Wind,Atomic hook sets, Frozen Shiners, Laughter, Moonshine, Pondie Porn, Home Brew,  chowder,
Olympic Table Lugging and a little fishing thrown in.

Come visit some of Ice Shanty's history and help make legends of the future.
 

What:    A gathering of the IceShanty tribe for bass, brats and B.S.

When:   Sat, Feb. 4th Sun up to whenever.  Foul weather date Sun Feb. 12

Where:  Bartons cove on the the Conn. River just off of Rt 2 Gill, Ma. at the Power company campground.  Use Main Rd. Gill for Mapquest Etc.  (about 1/4 mile further down Rt.2)


There is a large parking area that can accommodate 50 + vehicles.  It is an easy commute from anywhere as it is directly off of Rt. 2 not far from Rt. 91 in Gill MA just above the Turners Falls dam. For mapquest etc. use Main Rd Gill.  You can expect to catch everything from Perch to Pike and all things in between.  We have iced pike at every gathering with some getting their first pike ever.  We also had at least two people who iced their first fish ever!.  Years past have been a great time and this year should be better than ever.

Respond to this thread and I will amend and keep a running tally.  Hope many of you can make it.

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

My vote would be "girlfriends" are a slam dunk.......even if they are family members!  ;D

I am scheduled for brain surgery in late January...so I should be recovered enough to get wheeled out on the ice. Stick a jig stick in my hand and change my frozen drool cup every once and a while. It's not that bad....it's like working on a 1963 Chevy pickup. Lot's of room to work and not that complicated!

Hi fishingkid,

No there is no cost and we haven't eaten any children lately, so I think you will be safe ;D  It is
just a chance for folks from the shanty to gather up and do a little fishing and cooking out on the ice.  I bring a grill and a stove for communal use and we do some feasting and fishing. 


Best of luck to you chimney sweep.  Hopefully we will see you out there.
