Well by next weekend the safe ice will be covering much of Central Ma.  How about we all get together and enjoy the ice?  Due to the Patriots playing at 4pm Saturday we will get together on Sunday. Depending on the number of responses this gets will dictate where we all meet up (parking is an issue if there are gonna be a lot a vehicles).   Time to see faces of old and faces of new.  Cooking, fishing, friends and BSing what gets better than that?  I will check the body of water we will be fishing at Thursday or Friday.  Open to any bodies of water that will hold the number of vehicles that will be there.  Hope the GODs can get the senior bus to pick them up.  Hope to see a bunch of you you there. 
It is MY responsibility to make sure my children can enjoy fishing years from now. Make sure your kids can fish.  If you see something ILLEGAL Contact the Massachusetts Environmental Police Radio Room at 1-800-632-8075 at any hour of the day. They might show up if there is enough staff working.

I know a good crappie pond out this way with plenty of parking. Not sure I'd be able to make the trip to central MA, though...

164 views! 3 replies! That's funny! I guess people don't want to get together Ed. No Big Deal! We still have a blast without them.

Count me in if it's Saturday or Sunday.  Prefer central mass but willing to go further west for good ice.  I look forward to meeting you guys.  Have a great week!

I can't make any suggestions being new but I'm up for an adventure.
Teach a kid to fish and hunt and they will be resourceful, smart and confident. Today's world is much different than the one I knew as a child. They need these skills even more than I did.

We will be on ice in central ma. 1000% sure! I made 5 trips to the Berkshires and I'm not going back until all central ma. Ice is gone. This weeks temps are gonna make some serious ice! Looking forward to meeting you and anyone else we haven't met yet.

What day works better for people?  That will help plan this. Either day works with me.  Have 5 ponds in mind depending on turn out. 

No doubt everything in central ma will be good after looking at the forecast.

Well the Pats play Saturday at 4:30. Just in case it matters to anyone, like me  ;D.
I would still do Sat, but would probably depart around 3:00.

I can check out Stump later this week because I work in the area if that toilet bowl is of interest to everyone. I have no idea of the ice there right now but would not think it is safe yet.

Patriots?  Who cares about the Patriots?  ;D  As a Bronco fan, it may be better for my marriage, blood pressure, and sheetrock if I am on the ice and away from the TV  during their game Sunday  :)

Either day is good, I'll be out both days sunrise to sunset. The only sport that matters is ice fishing. Y'all can watch the sportsball game, I'll be fishing :-) Charlie, "stump" meaning A1? Certainly not a toilet!  Over 100 bass in 4 days is quite nice, 3 over 5.8 in one day, even nicer :-) I'll be there one of the 2 days, if not both, depending on gathering location.

Stump is OK:-) I was being sarcastic. Lot's of nice fish came out of their last year for sure, including one I caught.  :tipup:
Where ever we go is fine with me, I'm just anxious to get out on some safe ice.

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