245.0. "1993 SNOWBALL Cod Trip" by LEVERS::SWEET () Tue Jan 05 1993 09:44

    Its that time of year again, time for a winter SNOWBALL COD
    trip. I know some folks that went last year are up for it.
    
    I spoke with Capt. Jim Walsh and here is the way it looks.
    
    He is planning to try to run trips on Sundays starting Jan 31st
    (obviously weather permitting). If I can get arouns 25 folks we
    can charter the boat otherwise we will fish along with others.
    
    If we try for a charter, I recommend Feb 7th.
    
    The cost will be $35 a person and that will include rod rental.
    We would run out of Lynn (same as last year) from 7-4.
    I will a take a $10 deposit to hold a spot.

245.1Looking to drum up more interestLEVERS::SWEETWed Jan 13 1993 14:575
    The response has been a little light so far. I have a list of
    about 5 folks. Send along those cards and letters if
    you are interested in going.

245.2Update - need a new dateLEVERS::SWEETMon Jan 25 1993 12:4210
    Hi,
    
      I spoke with Jim yesterday and 2/7 is no good. There is a major
    league plus tide that weekend that will make fishing tough. So
    he is going to run the 31st, the 14th and probably a couple of
    sundays after that. I am leaning towards the 14th myself. 
    There have been about 8 folks ready to go so we will be fishing an
    open boat not a charter. Let me know what works for you.

245.3Feb 14 sounds good hereRUNTUF::HUTCHINSONTue Jan 26 1993 14:064
    I favor the first calm Sunday Valentine's Day forward.  A bit more sun
    then.  I look forward to starting the season again!

 Unfortunatly quite some time ago a very foolish women
said "I DO" to me on that date. Much to JohnHC's liking
she'd definatly shoot me even if she thought i was going 
fishing on that date.

 Anyday after the 14th is doable for me.

    Sorry, Bruce, I have to back out. I'm booked. I had this Sunday set
    aside for the cod trip. I guess I'll go diving instead....
    
    Sorry I won't get to meet a bunch of you FISHING noters on the Snowball
    Cod Trip. I was looking forward to it.

245.7is this trip a go?CADSYS::BROPHYTue Feb 09 1993 14:1113
    
    
     Hi Bruce,
    
      Whats the status fo this? I notice your buddy is advertising in The
     Fisherman as running trips right through Feb. Are we all going out
     together or should we just call Jim and book with him? I've got the
     crew ready willing and able. Let me know
    
     Thanks
     Mike
    
    
245.8I'll post an update tomorrowLEVERS::SWEETWed Feb 10 1993 11:104
    Mike, I am planning to go sun if the weather is good. I;ll
    give Jim a call tonight and see how he is booked.

245.9check in Sat? Directions?RUNTUF::HUTCHINSONWed Feb 10 1993 12:2315
    Bruce - could we arrange to touch base Saturday evening on conditions,
    plans?  Best to call you between certain hours?
    
    Also, will you post directions to the boat.  (I've no memory except that
    it was out of Lynn....I think....)
    
    And Tim will bring teasers to sell us, right?
    
    Hope the fellow with the beer holster and fillet knife is busy chewing
    bark or something Sunday, doesn't make the trip.  Remember how he
    staggered around waving the knife at his friend and the mate, at once 
    smiling and threatening?
    
    Jack
    "in jest"? 
245.1011SRUS::LUCIATUNA!Thu Feb 11 1993 09:421
I have plans for Sunday.  Sorry, no teasers.  Come to the flea market.
245.11Not looking good.LEVERS::SWEETFri Feb 12 1993 13:2610
    Sunday does not look promising. I have heard that there will be strong
    NW after this storm goes through. Jack you can call me at
    home 508-851-4152. I've got teasers.
    
    The boat is on RT1A in Lynn. Take 128 to rt 129 through Lynn. The boat
    is right next to Heritage Park, there is a cement pedestrian overpass
    right at the entrance over rt1A. It is just before the Nahant rotary
    are you head north on 1A.

245.12Trying for the 21stLEVERS::SWEETMon Feb 15 1993 13:0311
    No trip yesterday due to the storm on Sat. Jim was planning to
    run today since it is a holiday for many (not deccies). Given
    the forcast I suspect they are fishing right now. I will can
    for a report tonight.
    
    We are planning to try for next sunday (21st). Hope some of
    you folks can make it. 
    
    7 weeks and my boat will be in!

245.13MSBCS::HURLEYWed Feb 17 1993 14:511
    Did they make it out monday fishing??
245.14Not this SundayLEVERS::SWEETFri Feb 19 1993 09:5014
    The trip will not go on this Sunday (the 21st). Jim is waiting on
    a part for the generator on the boat and it will not be back
    together for Sunday (the weather does not look promising anyway).
    
    We will try for the following Sunday (28th). 
    
    He did get out Monday and the honest truth is they did poorly.
    The draggers had been working over the area the fish "were"
    on and there was nothing left. He will likely fish out
    near the bank when we go.
    
    Keep you posted.
