7th Anual Bartons Cove Gathering Feb. 2nd
« on: Jan 02, 2013, 08:03 AM »
It's that time again folks for the 7th 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', wind, "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, wind 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. 2nd Sun up to whenever.  Foul weather date Sun Feb. 9th

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 several 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. I  Hope many of you can make it.

Im planning on bringing my 10in auger, i figure im small enough to fit down the hole.
Ill tie off to a tilt with a snorkel and try to grab one on the way by. lol

Either that or drill holes next to Big Scotts lol. Maybe my line will tangle with one of his Pike. That still counts right?

Why don't you post a picture of last year at some point.  In fact, if any one has a good picture from previous gatherings, post them up.

It would be great if you and some of the older "crew" could make a pilgrimage.

I am looking forward to meeting FTD for the first time.  Add BJ and we would have the full Mod Squad together for the first time!

Thanks for sticking it and hope you can make it.
