I am currently in a three way this weekend - Cape with family, sister's going away party (moving to the west coast), and the early bird. Let's see... if I can convince my entire family to have the party in Newport, I can hit the early bird and be back at the cottage by dinner... ???

Should we exchange Cell Phone #'s Via Email?

If you have a cell phone number e-mail me privately. I will do a group private e-mail Friday evening to all those that respond. Even if you have no cell phone and you are coming Saturday, e-mail me the same. You will still be able to keep in touch with us by getting the phone list and using a public phone.

Friday at 7:00 pm, I will compile the list and do a group e-mail.

artb- I'll try and make it, but since I know how to get to Colt Park I'll meet you guys there. I just hope the fish are more cooperative than they have been on the Cole River. Not alot of bait there or at the Bristol Narrows, but I did see some shrimp(finally) at the north end of the Kickemuit River this evening just before the turn of the tide. Do you have any idea where you'll be going if the Park fails? ron

Ron, It would be good to see you there. I can only say that Ray, and I are really trying call in some bass. What we are hoping for is 3 warm days. Saturday we should find some fish again somewhere in east bay. Ray only gets skunked when we go in a snowstorm. Ray is going to have a cell phone list, If you are going to be around call one of us.

Just wanted to wish you guys the best for Saturday!

I was doing mental calculations on maybe passing by on the way back from the KenMeister session in Duxbury - got to get past RI to get home to CT somehow - but figure you'll be done before late afternoon - hopefully fished out, exhausted, arms burning, tales to tell....can't wait to hear the reports and see the pics!

Well, I will have to miss this one... Hope everyone has a great time and get those casting arms in shape for the season. I will look for most of you at the spring clave down the Cape. I may check out Whites on Sunday Morning so I may see some of the crew there.

Good luck everyone, I'll be thinking of you as I'm stuck on my ladder painting my house. However, I'd rather suck it up now than over the next month of blitzs everywhere on the Cape.

Boy sounds like a nice crew, great to see Jenks is going to make it too! Hmmm.... maybe if I leave Dennisport early to get coffee and donuts and run to Bristol for say... 8 hours....

Naw, I'd better wait until I get the cap on the bed of my pickup truck - so I will have somewhere to sleep when I get back! ;-)

Hope you guys have an awesome day, but that's kind of a given.

Just thought of a name for my soon-to-be cap (Leer, Snugtop, etc)...

the "DOGHOUSE"

Juro-

Art and I had a premo' spot all steaked (premium beef) out for ya! We call it the "Honey Hole" Dead drift that olive clouser.... It's the only location where you can get the fly down to their noses. All the rest of us will miss the mark. Too bad! Can't let Jenks know about it. He'll have half his guides anchoring up on a dropping tide.

Weather was unco-operative this week. Wednesday and Thursday was a wash. Friday's weather might inprove the fishing conditons as well as Saturday. Lets keep our fingers crossed.
