    Hold on there Mrs. Clan!!!
    
        Yes I am planning on organizing the largest fishing tourney 
    in DEC history.  Last year we had 72 this year 100+   Detail will be
    posted on an official note sometime in October.  Boy people must be
    getting the itch, this week alone I have been asked about it at least
    3 times.  This year I plan on brreaking it down to 9 prize catagories
    instead of three, Some guys walked away with toooooo much loot.
    I tell you what, I will fish the A-1 site tomorrow and check it out. 
    I hope we get the N.H. boys down here this year, last year they missed 
    a great party.  
    
    
    Mr. ICE

    Hey Bassin' Bob,
        Do you think the fish will recover after you catch it on Sept. 30,
    8>)                                                                    

    ????  ice fishing on sep 30..  Les we must talk!!
    

    
    
    
       The summer's over bring on the ice!! If this years tourney is
    anything like last years we in for a "REAL BIG PARTY".. Les if 
    there's going to be over 100+ this year you might want to think
    of a bigger lake???? There wasn't that many open spots last year
    on the ice with 72 people just think of 28 more people with 5 
    tilts a piece. 

    I'll cast a vote for Lake White Hall in Hopkinton..
    What do ya think?
    
    Dave
    

    
    
      Well never fished Lake White Hall.. It would have to have a good
    range of like pike,bass,pickeral, and maybe muskie's... 

    
    
    
       There's alot of nice size fish in there. There was a couple
    of nice pike pulled out this past spring includeing that 40+
    that was caught but, some how i can't picture a 40+ pike coming
    threw the ice... The only problem last year on quinsig. was there
    wasn't much ice and the ice they did have didn't last to long..

    
    	Let's leave the Ice fishing on A1. It is over 300 acres, it has 
    Bass, Pike, Tiger Muskie, Pickrel, Calico, Yellow Perch, ETC.
    Besides part of the fun is meeting other noters. Last year almost
    everyone stayed in the Mill Pond section of A1, that limits you
    to 1/6 of the fishable water. Believe me there are Fish back in the
    timbered sections, granted it's a bit more challenging to get to your
    " TIP UP " in time an play the fish. Seeing we cannot accomodate 
    all types of boats during open water season, ice fishing is one of the 
    best ways to fish a tourney at this place. If you need some tips on
    where to fish at A1 send me some mail.

        I have no problem with A1. The timber areas looked real good
    but, last year there was all open water in the timber section.
    I was wondering is there a river or steam that goes threw there
    to keep it from frezzeing??? 

    
    	Yeah there is a main stream channel through the timber and pond and
    also some secondary stream channels. The open water was mostly around
    the islands that seperate the pond from the timber, past that the
    timber was frozen. The F&G now has a map of A1 available. H**l I will
    fish anywhere I should have a portable bob house ready by then, I Just
    have to figure out how fit the wide screen TV and lazy boy into it...

    Finally!!! A tourney where I won't need a boat! I'm in(terested).

    re:1248.13
    
    
        you won't need a boat that's for sure. all you really need for
    this tourney is 5 tilts and a cold 6 pack...

    
    
              You can count on "The Keg" bein there.After last years
              fiasco I wouldn't miss it for the world.There should be
              no problems with undersize pike and muskie this year.
              I need practice on the little pike so when I go to N.Y.
              in March the twenty pounders will give me NO PROBLEM!!
    
    
                                     Whadayasay Rich ewe in???
    
    
                                           The Keg

    Well I have been giving this thing some thought and I think A-1 will
    be the site again since we caught so many Bass and a good number of 
    short tailed PIKE ( which should be good this year).  But here's 
    a thought.  Last year we had 4 pay offs bass, pike, pickeral, tiger
    muskie,  only bass and pickeral made it and those two guys walked
    with a large chunck of change (72 entries worth).  I was thinking of 
    three payoffs for bass and pckeral and 1 or 2 payoffs for Pike and
    tiger muskie.  I am pretty sure that 3 legal bass and pickeral will come
    through the ice, Last year over 40 bass and plenty of pickeral.
    But Pike and Muskie may be another story.  Any inputs on how to spread
    the pot over 4 categories of fish and multiple prizes for each
    category.
    
      
    
           

    
    
    
    	YO Molesta!
    
	Here is my take on how the pay-off should be handled:


	* Four categories with 1st, 2nd and 3rd pay-off.

	  example  100 entrants @ $10.00 = $1000.00 in pay-off money.

	* IF all places are covered, then the straight pay-off for all
	  categories of fish is:

			1st	$125
			2nd	$ 75
			3rd	$ 50

	* IF all places are NOT "covered" then I would propose the 
	  following:

	  example:

		pike	pick	bass	musk
		125	125	125	 _
		 75	 75	 _	 _
		 50	 _	 _	 _

	left	 $0	 $50	$125	$250	total	$425

		425 divided by category fish caught in (3) = $141 (approx)

	for pike new pay off is
		
		1st $125 + .5(141) = 195.5
		2nd $ 75 + .3(141) = 117.3
		3rd $ 50 + .2(141) =  78.2

	for pick new pay off is
	
		1st $125 + .6(141) = 209.6
		2nd $ 75 + .4(141) = 131.4

	for bass new pay off is

		1st $125 + 1(141)  = 266.0

	
			       total 998.00  due to approx of 141

	This would only require that a calculator be present at the
    	end of the day, but would cover all possibilities.  Plus
    	if a particular species is "tough" to catch that particular
    	day....you will be rewarded for it.

      Sounds good to me re:1248.17. Gives alot of chances for $$ in
    different cat. Keep it to the 3 cat. and maybe a seperate prize
    like $25 or whatever for the biggest muskie caught all day. O.K.
    i think that we sould get the ball rollin'.

	Where/what is A-1 ?  I'd like to check out this tourney!

	/Ken

      Boy you guys are really anxious.  Its still nearly 3 months away
    from safe ice.  Let me give it some more thought and I will post it
    up in a week or two.
    
    Mr. ICE

    
    
    	re.19  Ken, last years note for this tourney is 894, the location
    	of A-1 is in the opening note.  
    
    	It is a MUST tournament to be at!!!  This year, Mr. ICE (I type
    	that with reluctant fingers) is negotiating with ESPN to cover
    	the event.  I believe that they are going to bring in Madden
    	to use his tele-illustrater on the replays of us running to all
    	the flags we will get, and of course show the CLAN huddling
    	together trying to stay warm during their extended "dry spell"..:-)
    	
    	Bottom line here is.....mark it down....
    
    	Gitzit'
    
    	
    	
    

    
    Whoa waitaminute.....
    
    No catagory for "BLUE WHALE" and most amount of brandy consumed
    in one afternoon?????
    
    This year I predict 2 blue whales!! (no comment on the brandy:-)
    
    Erik
                                        

    
    	YO!  Mr ICEcube....:-)
    
    	Even though there is a GOOD two months of open water fishing yet,
    	when are you going to kick this "baby" off.
    
    	I know for one thing that the KEG with LEGS is waiting with "baited"
    	breath for this tourney....
    
    	And OF COURSE....one just can't get enough CLAN bashing....:-)

    Boy Gitzit'
    
        Last year I put the note in on Oct. 12, and took some grief for
    being so early,  this year one day late and the big guns come
    out.
    O.K. O.K. O.K. O.K. O.K.
    
    Are You Ready   
    Look at note 1262  Its there
    

    
    
        Re: Gitzit
    
              Ya baited breath,baited hooks(unlike the clansman) your face
              your ___ whats the difference???
    
              Keep it up.I need a new fishfinder for this winter.The one 
              I had last year I dropped in the hole like so many sounders.
    
    
    
                                               The Keg

    Boy You guys started talking about 	ICE way back when I was still using
    it to cool the beer. Now its about that time of year and I see people
    out skating but no more mention about  a tourny????
    
    So when is it going to happen? I'll be there for sure if I can make the
    day?
    
    What kind of regulations? Type of bait? Live weigh in ? etc......
