2009 Lake Bomoseen, VT NAIFC Open Qualifier

[CNY Lee]

I'm excited to fish with Frank in this and hope to do Frank and NY proud. Frank mentioned that a pre-fish is advised prior to the tournament and I'm thinking something closer to tournament date would be good, hoping to catch the fish in or close to the stage they will be in when it's tournament time.

I believe Doug and I are heading up the Wed prior to the tourney to get a few days in

Good luck to all. I fished the first silver tourney few yrs ago and I had a blast. Only caught 1 fish on tourny day but just being there and meeting some of the power sticks that I read about all the time was awsome. Few jerk-baits in the crowd but for the most part all great people..

[CNYFrank]

iceman1603 . . jerk-baits LOL. . .I love it!

[CNYFrank]

Shhh Lee . . .Kyle and Jimmie are listening . . .

[CNY-Kyle]

Lol...oh dont worrie, jimster and i will have some pre fishing in prior to tourney week...and we will share, maybe!

[CNY-Kyle]

Seriously tho, im glad you guys partnered up, thats a good team right there....heck all of our NY teams are solid! Hopefully we will get it figured out and place, theres no doubt it will be a fun few days! Cant wait to see the out of towners (Steve, Tyler, Bud) it be good seeing you guys again.

[augustwest]

Chris and I will have 3 days of pre-fish in before Tourney Day.

Hey Lee, I would not be opposed to take a trip up before then to get a heads up. Let me know?

Regardless of winning, I am looking forward to the comraderie and the BEER with Tyler

[CNY Tim]

Friday night is gonna be one for the books!

[CNYFrank]

Maybe Bud will predrill our holes for us . . .did somebody say BEER?

[iceman1603]

CNYFrank, Yea I thought that was funny but I think the Mods did it. I only used the first part. The rest was added by Big brother im thinkin?? LOL Very funny

[salmonseeker2]

BEER... I'm in!! lol.... well franky and lee huh... good on you guy's.... CNY will be well represented there!! I can't wait.

Timmy.. you said Friday night... can do it saturday too!! Kyle's up for it

And yes we are listening franky!! watch outtttttttttttttttttttt.

[CNY Lee]

Ok I've been out for a bit but what's going on Friday? Frank, I got your message but was cleaning up all my fish (and watching Syracuse get there butts kicked) for the UFC fight coming up for a little snack and will give you a call tonight. I'm thinking about Saturday night if not then I'm goingo Sunday night for sure. Timmy - I did take pictures of me cleaning them I measured all the fish and they all where 11"-13", that's a nice year class.

Who has maps of the lake so I can get a look at the primary structure and what kind of lake it is.

My buddy Rick fished that lake all the time and can put us at a starting point, plus he's calling all his contacts up there to find out how the bite is and what should be happening at that time.

Sorry I haven't been on much but get in those funks where I don't even want to look at the computer. LOL

I was thinking about trying to get everyone at a central location for some drinks, I want to see what everyone looks like without their battle suites on. I've probably seen most of you and don't even know who you are because of all the clothes. LOL

[CNYFrank]

Lee . . . buddy . . . teammate . . . you want to see us without our clothes on??? You're scaring me . . . I say a central meeting place should be Dennies Bar SE corner of Oneida on 31 down the road from the SavOn. Great chicken wings (but of course) and the Wednesday night barmaid is not bad to look at. The other suggested meeting place is Dougie's!!! Not as central but I hear the Chef gives discounts . . .LOL

[augustwest]

You boys are always welcome at The Copper Turret!

I have over 70 different beers in bottles and drafts. I hear the food is quite good too!!!

Let's set it up!!

[ENYTYLER]

Cant wait to meet up with you guys looks like we will have a good bunch of teams up there with any luck we will all make out good . and for sure there is always beer on hand . let me know when you guys are meeting up would like to try a couple beers out of the 70 choices and I heard the food is great . Dont worry Frank just gased up the auger buds ready to start drilling . Lee I heard toms bait in castleton has maps am looking to get my hands on one . I have been told its a tough lake to fish but who knows .

[CNY Tim]

Don't worry Tyler, Lee's got ears and he better be willing to share

huh,have to try that place out didnt know they had beer

[CNYFrank]

Doug . . .I'd call for reservations but I don't speak Spanish!! Lee and I are up for a couple of those 70!!

[CNY Tim]

Well guys I just read the latest TA results from MN. and Myron and Joe were DQ'd for a breakfast break on the ice from a local that brought them a McDonalds bag. Even though no information was exchanged and there were no fish in the bag it violates rule 2, No third party contact during the event... The guys who won it had a nice bag of fish from that lake...

[CNY Lee]

I saw that on their site and that sucks, I'm sure glad I don't know anyone from there to come and say HI.

I've been reading some info on Fishyspot and I'm getting excited, Looks to be a very clear lake with site fishing in the weedbeds for the big jumbo gills.

[kirkville1]

Thats gotta suck!Doug and I leave for the Devils Lake tourney next week cant wait!

[iceman1603]

WOW!!! talk about a steak egg and cheese ruining your day!!! That blows!!

[CNY Lee]

Frank, I got your email today and couldn't concentrate for the rest of the day. LOL Sorry I didn't reply back but boss was off today and I was busy. I sure hope more teams register though so NAIFC brings it back to the Northeast.

[CNYFrank]

No problem . . . figured all the blood had drained from your brain and you were daydreaming!! LOL
