1144.0. "DEC NIGHT TOURNEY" by DEMING::TADRY () Mon May 22 1989 20:47

    So you want another one....Ok, hows this. NITE TOURNEY!!!!!!
    If you've never done one you've missed out and now is your chance
    to enjoy fast paced, action packed bass fishing. Gary M. even you
    will catch keeper bass. I will put this one together if folks want
    to sign up. I'd like to have it on Quinsig because it has very few
    water hazards, its patrolled, its big, has an excellent ramp, and
    most folks are familiar with it. I'd also like to have it in JULY,
    say Saturday night 15th (with an 8:00pm start) to Sunday morning
    (say 3:00am end). Now these start/stop times can be adjusted its
    just that the ramp has a fee until 8:00 pm (or did last year). 
    So lets hear it and if there is major conflicts with the date I'd
    suggested moving it out 1 week. 
    
    Regards,
    Ray

1144.1Do it up!!PACKER::BACZKOGone Fishin'Tue May 23 1989 12:1011
    Hey Ray,   
    
        That sounds great!!!!!   NIGHT FISHING IN JULY IS UNBELIEVEABLE.
    But to let you know there is another night tournament on that lake
    the same night so you might want to move it in a week, say July
    8 or out one July 22.    If it can be moved in or our one weekend
    sign me up, partner TBD.

1144.4I'm GAME!VAX4::TOMASJoeTue May 23 1989 12:537
I'd be up for a tourney at Pawtuckaway in July.  If we started at 2 PM and 
ran 'til 10 PM, we'd have some good daylight fishing and a couple hours of 
nighttime activity. 

Let's do it!

1144.8Two more teams for the All Night DectravaganzaSENIOR::WHITESWed May 24 1989 20:4712
    Even though we didn't do as well as we'd hoped at the last one, 
    we did manage to comply with Rule # 1! 
    
    I'd like to sign up two more teams for this one:
    
    John Accica and George Phipps
    Jack Whites and ??????
    
    Thanks,
    
    Jack
    
1144.9Preference for daySENIOR::WHITESWed May 24 1989 20:529
    I forgot to add - we'd prefer 7/22 for the date if possible 
    because (I believe) there's a Mass Bass tournament at 
    Onata the day after the 7/8 date, and we have a club 
    tournament the day after the 7/15 date. Sooooooooooo.

1144.15Watch your speed-watch your speed-CIMNET::DSULLIVANThu Jun 01 1989 15:4713
    
    I would love to attend, but, a MASS BASS tournament July 9th at
    Onota would make it impossible for me. I fish quinsig alot a night
    and YES it is heavily pratolled. Also be aware that there is a 
    20MPH speed limit on the lake from sunset to sunrise. 
    
     Good Luck!! And... McQuales has a dock. You guy's should make it
    ON LIMITS to dock at Mcquales!! If I was fishing I'd have my limit
    by 9:30pm and Dock at McQuales and party away from the misquitos
    for the rest of the night!!

    	What are the requirements for night navagation? I am aware of the
    basics like: life jackets, and red/green bow and white stern lights
    and registration. If you are only running electric do you need a
    fire extinguisher? What about a horn?

1144.21What about McQuale'sCIMNET::DSULLIVANThu Jun 08 1989 20:529
    
      Has McQuales Landing been voted in as the official spot you can
    can leave your boat at... I'd fish till 10:00, limit out, then want
    to get out of the mosquitos and enjoy a fresh cocktail or two. The rest
    of you crazy's can stay out till 3:00am. I'll just lock my livewells
    push the timer and set the alarm for the weigh-in.

    	Dave, Where is McQuale's ?  I don't have all the night navagation
    stuff needed so I not sure if I will enter, but, I might want to
    go to McQuales for a few and listen to some fish stories.
1144.24Happy DockingCIMNET::DSULLIVANFri Jun 09 1989 15:5312
    
      McQuales is a failry new (open last season) restaurant and BAR
    located at the route 9 bridge. They have recently installed a DOCK
    just to the left of the restuarant. It's a real nice place with a
    outside deck so you can keep an eye on your boat as well. 
      I fish quinsig alot at night and McQuales is always a refreshing 
    spot. Good Service good food and out of the mosquitos!!
    
      Thanks Ray! I am really considering blowing off the Onota Federation
    tourney this year and this would be a much funner substitute.

    	McQuales SHOULD BE a mandatory stop during the tournament...say
    	right at last call......RAY....include this as an addendum
    	to RULE #1.
    
    	I'll have probably caught my customary ONE tournament fish...
    	and be ready for a frosty.

        Geez,
    
    		It's amazing,... those who are jealous of ones consistant
    Bassin' techniques are always  insulting the individual.   I have
    been VERY VERY nice in these files has of late but take abuse from
    the Gitzit' and Moose face regularly.  So what do I do when there
    AHEM gets deep.  EASY......
    
           Log off and go fishin'    I hope you suckers (G & MF) have
    to work till 7 P.M. cause this is the only good night this week.
    I will be out on the ponds (BY 5 P.M) while you guys are taking 
    ACTION ITEMS at some lame meeting!!!!    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
           
           Hey Gitzit'  One day I will show you how to use another
    lure,  Last year I showed him a tube lure and that is all he owns.
    Maybe, Just maybe if you are nice I will lend you a worm.  But I
    doubt it.    Has for you MOOSE FACE, I will let you buy me beers
    at the Night tourny at This Dock of Brew, because I will catch all
    the fish and you will have to do something!!!!!!!!!
    
          Hey N.H. guys,  COME ON DOWN!!!!!! This could be a GREAT event
    with the 12 A.M. pit stop now being planned.   And ready for the
    best part.....    TADRY IS BUYING and when he runs out of money
    the GITZIt'  will let the moths out of his wallet.

    RE.28....I would have responded to this sooner, but I was in some
    	lame meeting last night getting action items until 7pm.....
    	Geez...Molesta....I am glad you went fishing last night...you're
    	getting too ornery....:-)
    
    RE.31  My thanks to RAY (fishing guide) TADRY for taking Gary out
   	on Quinsig and showing him some of your HOT spots.   Because
    	Gary and I are teaming up for this night time extravaganza.
    	
    	So Gary and I are TBA no more....just put our names at the top
    	of the list....It will be easier to edit that list for the final
    	standings that way........[did I just put the jinx on us????]

    Yeah, right. Once you guys stroll into McQuayle's (Danny boy's

    out of Bass Ale.

1144.372 hrs of fishing after the bar closes?MRBASS::DSULLIVANThu Jun 15 1989 20:0712
   
   Well,

    Just got back from the True Value Hardware store. Picked up my bullet
proof master padlock and latch assembly for my livewell. I antisipate a 
10:00 docking at Mcquales. 
     When Mcquales closes I plan on staying docked up and continuing the
flow of massive ammounts of cocktails. Or maybe I'll float out there 
for a while.
      The fish stop biting after 10:00 anyway...

    Ok......I'll say it!
    
    Hey let's have the weigh-in at 12:30 or 1 and allow for a coupla
    beers and not srew up the whole weekend.  If this is really for
    fun, let's not kill ourselves.  There is nothing from midnight to
    3am that has any magic.  another alternative would be to start at
    3am. and weigh-in at say 9 or 10am that sounds like a good time
    to me.
    
    I was just thinkin.....how crappy that last coupla hours is goona
    be.

    Please cancel the Mrs. for me and my partner will be TBA. The Mrs. 
    although knowing I was crazy when she married me wants nothing to
    do with the 3:00am stuff. 
    
    She did stay to tell the rest of you " Thier crazier than you are !!"
    
    I think there was something positive said there...
    
    How bout a Weigh-in at 1:00am for those of us leaving McQuales. I'd
    like that and maybe my wife might resind her comment about the rest
    of you !!

Hmmm...if you have a weigh-in both before AND after McQuales, you'll know 
just how much excess weight you consumed in brewski!    
    
I dunno 'bout you MASS guys...

Hey TBDW... why did I know that you'd find an excuse to WIMP OUT!

Hey RR...you'd better start looking for a new partner...especially if the 
forecast is for a "slight chance of showers!" 
	
	Note:  TBDW's interpretation of "slight chance" means a
	       .00000001 % probability!  If a mosquito pees, he's gone!

    me and Gitzit are going to pull this one off. I still have to check
    out my secret Hawg Hole everyone tells me doesn't exsist, just as
    our back up plan. Now if only my equipment cooperates me and Gitzit
    will be sitting in victory circle at McQuales.

    Les,Les,Les,
    
    	Yes I will admitt your stat sheet and phases of the moon chart
    are impressive. But let me see if I can recall the last 3 times
    we fished together. Hmmm,practice at Singletary Les 1 Gary
    none,Singletary tourny Les 1 Gary none. Yesterday Gary 2 Les 1.
    Well I'd say you ain't exactly running away with it. And if we count
    the time I went out with Ray and you went out with Ray We'd probobly
    be even.
    	Les are you sure your catching all those fish when your not
    with us? Or are you getting too bored and dream about them and catch
    them in your mind? I don't know,I'm beginning to think that Manchaug
    was a Fluke. You don't scare me and the GITZIT. As for your partner
    the Pig master,heck he'd scare Godzilla. Don't worry though after
    the Gitzit and I take this,we'll let you buy us breakfast and tell
    you how to catch Bass when it really counts.

    Gary {Mr. Bassless} Mattson
               
    	    Glad to see you got rid of your tourist lures and started
    listening to my advice.   I mean how long were you going to throw
    that stupid pink spinner bait and the dumb worm with the red bee-bees,
    two hooks and the propeller on it???  Finally puts on a purple worm
    and a pig and jig and catches two fish.  WOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW
    But remember this, I was just real nice not to Stick that 11 3/4"
    largemouth you brought to the scales.   Has for breakfast  SIDE
    BET SIDE BET SIDE BET.   Dennys after the tourney the loosers buy
    and got to listen to how RAY AND I cleaned your clocks  8>) 8>)
    
    
    Mr. BASS
1144.55It's a classic just like a 56 T Bird.DEMING::MATTSONMon Jun 26 1989 19:2510
    HA
    	Mr. Bass this shows how much you know. They were Orange BBs
    not Red. I've already got a standing bet with your partner. I might
    even donate the already mentioned worm to you as a consolation prize
    after Gitzit and I dust you two in this night tourney. Tourist lures
    indeed,you just don't know a classic when you see it. I will be
    using the Spinner Baits at night maybe even the Pink one.

    Yah,
    	I saw the same picture. I think it was trick photograpy. I think
    it was the shiner he used magnified 100x. We'll check his live well
    and make sure he still doesn't have it in there. He probobly sold it
    to Les and Ray. All kidding aside it was a nice catch.

    I guess a picture is really woth a 1000 words !! 
    
    That picture was MY FISH caught in December 1988 on lake Tohoapaglia
    (TOHO) in Kissemmee Fla. No tricks, Just sank the hook, reeled it in,
    took the picture and let it go to get bigger for this years attempt.
    
    I put it down there to show you guy's the ability of the mighty
    BASSMASTER. It looks like it's working.

    Ray,
    
    Since I'm new to this Notes file, I'd like to commend you on your
    efforts in putting this tournament together.   GOOD JOB !!!
    
    However, I do  know a few of the 'enlistees', and would like to
    direct a few comments to them.
    
    First-of-all, how come only a couple of the "Wayside Bassmasters"
    have signed up ???  Come-on guys, there are many more of you out
    there.  Are Al, Jack, John, George, and Dave our only real fisher-
    man, this club can produce ????
    
    Second-of-all, Hey Bart L. .... this isn't a fly fishing tournament!!!
    ..since that's the only kind of fishing you know........
    This tournament is for REAL fishermen only, fishing for the best
    fresh-water game fish there is......     I'm sure the rest of the
    entries will be very, very, happy to take your money.
    ..for you are easy !!!!!
    
    and I'd love to join in, since Jack needs a partner, but in a few
    hours, I'll be on vacation.
    
    Good luck to one and all (excpet Bart).  May each one of you find
    your honey-spot and catch the big ones...........including the
    'cold ones'......
    
    ..... J     ;-)     ;-)

1144.74Success not always measured in poundsHEFTY::CUZZONESTue Jul 11 1989 13:3122
Ray, good tourney!  Thanks for your organization and effort.  Paul and I agree
that we will be there for the next.  Some random thoughts ...

Hey, RR & TBDW, the hawg pool is for the biggest BASS not BUZZ.

Thought about going back sunday and retrieving my spinnerbaits from the trees.
Gotta lay off the high hard one next time.  I spent twice as much on lost 
tackle as I did to enter.  Hafta win next time to break even!

Any body want to tell where they caught fish?  On what?

Hey Bart, at least I caught a fish this time.  3 strikes and yer out, buddy ;-)

TBDW, Denny's was not 2 lefts and over the hill.  Never found it.

Next night tourney, I'm getting those night vision goggles that army helicopter
pilots use.  Or maybe I'll order Xray specs from the inside cover of a comic
book.  That way I can see my trailer through the back door before I hit someone.

Congratulations to everyone ... you're all winners.

    Congrats to one and all .......... except "Dr. Dick"
    
    (this IS the best laugh I've had in years !!!!!    Dr. Dick......
    ......funny !!!! ) 
    
    Fellow fishermen, this guy is ice cream !!!!   he's easy !!!
    if the truth be known, his partner probably caught all of the 10
    fish !!!!  this was just s**t luck in the tournament.  His club
    is on the bottom of the listing, along with the rest of us..........
    
    Please organize another fish-off, and all of you will see just how
    bad this guy is..............    the onky one who might be worse
    than "DR. dick" (chuckle) is Bart L.  ..........  Hey Bart, I see
    you did your usual stuff ...... nothing !!!! (double chuckle)
    
    Thanks for the hardy laugh Dick, I really needed that.   See you
    in August's tournament and then we'll see who is the better one.
    ...and yes, we'll be using MY boat for a change..........
    
    Again, congrats to one and all.......

            great time meeting and talking to you all!! OH ,YA i also
            had good time FISHING too. HA HA !
    
              WE ( yes Gerry WE ! ) caught our fish in about 8 to 10 feet
            of water while the boat was in 20 - 30 feet, casting towards
            shore.It seems they were sitting on the edge of the drop off.
    
              Alan started out using a gitzit then switched to a white
            Sassyshad(sp?) at dusk.i started out using a 6" crawdad culpret
            worm and switched to a 5" green grub with christmas colors at
            dusk.
    
    re .77 + .78  -       HEY Gerry , both ME and ALAN limited out 
                      ( 5 fish each - 10 fish and were culling by 10 )
    
                  -   Also see what i can do when i have a REAL partner
               
    
         THANK YOU ALL FOR LETTING ME FISH WITH YOU and the $ too. :^) 8^)

     Second place has it's tale to tell.
    
     We caught our largemouths early in 2-3 ft of water at a creek inlet.
    We caught them on Gitzit's-- the small crappie size. The boat was in
    8-9 ft and we too were casting towards shore.
     After dark I went to see if the smallmouth's were at my favorite 
    spot. For those of you who saw us weigh-in they were there!!. The
    smallies were all caught after dark on a road bed. We used white
    spinner baits and Buzzbaits with trailer hooks. This raod bed climed 
    to 3ft of water with 12-15ft on each side. We sat at the 3-4ft depth
    and casted out. We caught the fish as they were coming up to feed. We
    also caught numerous small smallies
     
    Thanks RAY !! for a great tourney. 
    
    My wife thanks you all for the $$$

1144.83What happen to my fish?GRAMPS::LASKYWed Jul 12 1989 16:0010
    Just to set the record straight I did weigh in one FISH.  He was small
    but mighty.  It was the first time I ever fished at night and it was
    interesting.  Nothing could sound worse then hitting a branch instead
    of water!!
    
    Next time I'll be out there again trying to catch the big one!
