Salty get together

JimC · #1 04-11-2006, 11:42 AM

We had a thread running over the winter regarding a SW get together this spring. I volunteered to help pull it together. Its time to start pulling!

A few dates were tossed around and the concensus at the time was Saturday June 3,2006.

If 6/3 sitcks anybody still interested?

We can:
1. Fish the a.m. tides (anywhere from Great Bay to the Mass North shore) then convene for lunch at a predetermined time and somewhat central location. Eat and swap lies (or at least that's what my wife tells me we do at these things) then disperse to head home or fish the evening tide.

2. Solicit shore bound locals and boaters to act as fishing hosts for those traveling from inland. We can then figure out a way to match people up. (bear in mind that if you get matched up on a boat, please expect to pay for gas and the captn's coffee expense given we are looking at first light tides here).

OR
We could simply create a means by which we match people up for the day, let the social part fall by the boards and fish until you can't stand it anymore then go home.

If anyone is interested in fishing the Hampton River that day (or any other), let me know. I would love to help out.

I'd be interested in participating. I am shore bound, but woundn't mind getting onboard a boat. Either way is fine with me.

I would like to do this. Let's keep this plan moving.

JimC · #5 04-11-2006, 03:17 PM

I have a 19" CC set up for fly fishing that 2 can Fly Easily. I am willing to captain for the AM. I know Great Bay, Mack (Won't Fish On Weekend!), PI Sound and Boston Harbor pretty well .

As far as the Date, Lets shoot for one with Early tides. I like to be on the water by 4AM.

I would love to tag along if everyone doesn't mind. I have never stipper fished before. I have done mainly steelheading out west, and trout here in New Hampshire. I am eager and willing to put a bend in my rod.

We're all "students" to some degree or another. The only pre req here is an interest in having fun and apreciation for our natural resources and good beer.

Okay this is what I have so far;
June 3, 2006, A.M High Tide 5:07 (Boston)

JimC- I'll be fishing the M'Mack, PI Sound. I have a 21’ FF friendly CC that can accommodate myself plus two others. I have a couple loaner outfits (9 wt & 10 wt)

lowwal runs a 19' CC. Sound like he can host 2 at a location TBD

Steve H can host shore fishermen at Hampton

The following have expressed an interest in this or other threads:

Dave (Birdfish)
Steve R
Jhicks
Mtnzone (Initially offered up a boat on the M’Mack)
Tippet
Bugchucka
CahilNH
sbeausol
Bluewilly

I’ll let this run for a little while and see what resources come to the table. In the meantime I’ll try to get together with Steve H and compare notes.
