So,

I am ready to leave anytime after 5 pm on Thursday!   ;D

Is there a caravan being coordinated? If so, where is the meeting spot?  I will be driving from Worcester... Anyone got a good meeting spot along the route and a time to meet?

Let me know if there is any interest in a convoy!  (either here or a pm is fine!)

Well I guess we are going to pontoosuc early friday. Okay local guys list some directions to the lake street ect, so we all know where we can meet up. I will try and leave early friday morning and get there by at least 7am. Look forward to seeing everyone and hopefully catching some fish :tipup:

Anyone have a pump for an air mattress? I can't find my pump, but I will bring the mattress if anyone needs it.
If fishing was work I'd never be sick!

I met a guy from Pittsfield on Saturday. He's told me where to fish. Left of the island for action, right side for size. facing the island from the highway.

Alright you coconuts... I'm big time jealous here of your awesome trip about to happen. May I bestow on you a Portuguese blessing: "May you fill your bellies with Chourico and Peppers, and may the sweet breads rise at your feet, but make no mistake about it, the great jigger Porterpenko cannot be beat ;D :P!  Now go get em boys.. and Mark good like getting your first pike!  I'll miss meeting some of you wack jobs, but I know that Karl and Keith will keep you in line... it's that Flagggs guy I worry about the most ;) - Peace Out....

Oh one more thing....

JDiP and I are meeting at the Charlton rest stop on the mass pike at 5:30 AM, Friday morning. We will hang out there until 5:45 if there are others that want to caravan. I have my GPS all set up for the ride. That will put us at the house just around sun-up.

Anyone else care to join in on the trek?

The small island by the cove produces ten times more fish the whole cove is good.

If you pull up the pond map on MassWildlife you will see the two parking lots off Hancock Road...the house is about a mile up the street...

    The parking lot is on hancock road, if people are going to plan on staying on the ice your better off staying fri. nite a low of 21 deg. and if you plan sat. nite bundle up because it's suppose to be low of "3" deg. sat overnite :woot:
