Here is another one.
Seagulls waiting patiently for a handout -- it's been a rough ice-fishing season for them too!

Oh Scotty...you fluffy bundle of pillsbury dough you!
You know me so well!
You better hope this is true because if not it will be doubly painful for you -- gear and glory will elude you forever

As some of you know, I am a huge fan of ice fishing -- so I decided to open this new topic.
Creative or not...post them pictures here.
Here is one from my first outing this year. A brutally cold and windy day:
-
somewhere in the maze of posts, on the ATC I requested that everyone bring a Cell Phone....Mark that's real nice of you to start that list....I will PM you my cell, and I suggest other P.M. Mark as well.....I also requested in that thread somewhere, that you bring a Keep net,,,Just in case, a digital camera ( If you have one) and your best fishing skills !
Neil,
I must be the only person in Boston without a cell phone... I'll bring a pair of walkie-talkies though.

Who cares what you say about it, -M.. The Chief already spoke! LOL
Oh...SNAP!
-
I will also be around after the ATC to fish and socialize, of course....
-Marius

I'd also say NO.
It would give non-locals/non-boaters an unfair advantage, a slight but unfair advantage notheless.

took my son out for some perchy fishing for the first time this year and he is proving to be quite the perch hunter @ 6yrs old
Nice pic...catching fish in the shadow of his old man!

Guys and Gals...
I want to thank you all for making this CAG event a special event for friendship and hopefully a time where everyone can break a P.B., and I can catch a Mirror, and end all of the violent and cruel punishment I've been taking!!!!
So?????
I again say that we are:
Let Scott do his Odds, let the fish get fatter, and let everyone have a safe trip....SEE YA AT THE MAIZE BOIL !!!
:DThanks Neil and Congrats! Let the games begin!

I'm looking for some help to place the peg flags on Thursday before the ATC.
This will involve a little walking, so I'll buy all helpers a beer!
Thanks, Richard
Richard, mate, I'll get there Tuesday PM so I'll be available and willing to help.

Horror stories:- 2 inches of the tip of a rod!!! smashed insert in a ring; split overfit joint. All these happened in tubes while on planes.
Broken Fox box; straps pulled off; bent frame on bedchair. All these happened in UPS/FedEx/USPS transportation.
I see, ok!
So, one never knows...oh well...

But Keith, I though you said "All these happened in UPS/FedEx......"
Now I am confused....

Keith,
Maybe they're more careful with checked luggage?
Anyhow, mailing them is just as risky as flying with them, who knows?
How is your tackle making its way down to Austin?

In your back pocket, there'll be plenty of room.
You mean for that quarter of a million dollars?

Marius,
I was going to, but cannot get a direct flight out of NYC without a lay over in Dallas or Houston. Jet Blue for a few dollars more is nonstop. It's when you switch planes a lot of luggage is gets mis-routed.
-Mike
Yes, I hear you Mike. I am flying American through Chicago. Hopefully no surprizes...but if anything happens I'll make sure I stop by to see Paul and buy some more gear...
-Marius

And now at 4:45 pm it is back to $172.00....
Go figure. The big problem with Delta is they will hit you for 100 bucks for baggage (rod tubes above 62", but under 80". Over 80" not accepted at all).
Looks like I'm riding Jet Blue.
-Mike/CT
Mike -- Try American Airlines -- right on their web site you can purchase a ticket. That's how I got mine for $190.

Marius:
There is a huge difference in UPS prices from a company that has pickup and an account vs. bringing it to a UPS store.
What costs $8 with the former can cost $16 from the store.
If your parcel is not in a cardboard box there could be a $5 surcharge.
If it's a round tube it could have a $5 surcharge. Length also has a surcharge.
I sent a square box (loaded with rods and tackle) to TX one time and it cost $14.
I sent a smaller tube to Simon Cardy and he sent his rods to TX (from NY) and he paid his local UPS $72.
Make your package as small as possible and check USPS. I just did a check with priority mail 8"x8"x 76" x 12 pounds Massachusetts to Austin $23.70. + insurance.
Fran
Good point Fran -- I'll pack my rods in a plastic tube and check them. Seems like the way to go. I won't have that much gear and bait anyway.
Thanks!

YEP that is the correct address -- I called them to confirm.
As for UPS -- RIPOFF. SCAM ARTISTS -- you are better off buying new gear out there and then sell it or donate it....
