jeeps...nice job on the manroom thing...now we gotta get you into brewing your own... ;)

I've tried it ,but had little success with it, but it was a wal-mart kit given to me for x-mas. I would be willing to give it a go again if i got the right equipment

where should we park and what would i  mapquest it under to get directions?
The parking will be tight this year because, for some reason, they did not plow the larger secondary parking area.  Car pooling is encouraged and please try to park nice and tight as I'm sure there will be local traffic as well.  For Mapquest, use Main Road Gill and that will be pretty close.

ok  thanks  and is there a place for bait around there
Pipiones sport shop is about one mile from the cove enterance.  Continue past the cove for about half a mile, take a left at the lights, go over the bridge and two blocks later it is on the left.  I think he opens at 6:30 on the weekends.

Alright, Seems like alot of main dishes being made, soI will not be making the sausage and peppers and instead will bring a big batch of pasta salad.
Sounds good Bumps

I've tried it ,but had little success with it, but it was a wal-mart kit given to me for x-mas. I would be willing to give it a go again if i got the right equipment

It helps to have the right equipment,  I have a nice little set up in my basement:

Actually, I was just messing with you guys, that is the brew house for the Peoples Pint that is located in the building I work at  :D

Hey Pikeking, I'll be seeing you at B.Cove.  I didn't see it on the list, so I'll bring baked beans.
Look foward to meeting you BD.

i'm going to try to make it!  i'll bring my coleman roadtrip grill too...
Hope to see you Brian.  No sleeping on the bucket like at Bear Hill though  ;D

That Veni feast sound like plenty!  Yum, Yummmmmm

A quote on the subject from another board
Quote from: BigRedDodge1500
...witnessed my best bud catch a 39 inch 12.5 pound Northern out there with a buzz bait trailing hook and pork grind this summer..

Thats all for now.  Hope to hear from some of you fence sitters soon.  Heading to Long Pond in Royalston in a few minutes looking for some big bucket mouths and crappie. Hope every one gets out and enjoys whats looking to be a great day!

WOW, is this gonna be a great gathering or what? We will have to have the food set up in different places so the weight on the ice in one spot doesn't sink the ice.  I am going to get there early so I can help set up if you guys need help. The first one there has to drill all the holes!!!
Come on guys stop looking and come fishing with us!!!!
See you guys on the 2nd.

I could always bring a couple of growlers from John Harvards in Framingham - the best microbrews made there!  See you guys at Bartons!

Why Porter, that sounds like a splendid idea  :tipup:

Hope some more of you will make the leap and commit for Feb. 2nd.
It's looking like a veritable Feast on Ice.

Come on boys!!!!
Ask her if you can go out and play with your friends....
This is going to be a great day and easy to get to from anywhere in the state. You will be home to watch the Superbowl, and still get your fishing fix. Don't be afraid she might just say yes.
If fishing was work I'd never be sick!
