Dates for the hybrid M+G ??

[jimmythegreek]

Big lake is already thinning out, and fish are starting on the fall pattern early this year. I want to have the M+G while there is still herring avail so more guys catch em up, not everyone has the jigging down, esp in deeper water. The trap nets stay in til oct 31st, but its slim by first week of Nov. Im thinking either Oct. 25th saturday, or Oct. 26th a Sunday. The following weekend is Nov. 1st a saturday, and Nov 2nd a sunday. What day do u guys prefer?

I dont wanna have it any later due to bait availability, even tho later is actually better for jigging, but last year mid oct it was a hot bait bite and jigs did very little. We did well last year but this year will be better w the cooler temps already and the pattern starting

please reply w a preffered date ONLY IF YOU ARE 100% coming out

official thread coming soon when we pic a day

also thought of doing a walleye M+G on greenwood in Nov. prob a week or two after the hybrid meeting. lemme kno what u guys think of that as well

[gwl2oneida]

I'm always down for a Sunday.

[Mikeps326]

I'm down for any of those dates especially the walleye m+g in greenwood, never had my boat in greenwood. I was actually thinking of going Saturday to hopatcong but not too sure.

[waynedane]

Will the water level be ok? If so I'm in either day.

[Skunk City]

In for both, whichever weekend works.

[Walleyed]

Color me in, either day.

[kcritch]

November 2nd works for me for sure.

Weekend of the 25/26 would be a maybe...trying to head out to Pittsburgh for a Steelers game...if that falls through I would be able to do either of those days.

Looking forward to it.

[bunker dunker]

great idea jim,i'll see if I can get the president to fish with us.

[jimmythegreek]

water level will be fine, its up now and will be til dec 15th when the 1.5 drawdown begins. ANY SIZE boat will be fine, from jon boats to yachts, theres no problem launching or fishing. Just like last year I will scout the lake the day before and make a map of where the bait+fish are holding, and make copies and pass them out at the ramp. We will meet early morning at sunrise at Lee's and get the boats in the water and BS and all that good stuff. The market on the lake will still be open and easy to get to (by brady bridge main lake side) so we can meet for a lunch break of if anyone needs fuel. Im sure FE and some of the boyz are gonna setup a pool for big fish so it will be a good time for sure. Like last year I will make a post explaining the techniques and rigs I use and the jigs etc. so newbies dont be afraid to come out, fall is the season for the pigs to come over the rails, good chance for eyeballs and musky too ;)

[FASTEDDIE29]

Ummmmmmmmmmm, I vote for the entire month of October and November!!! This is a fish catching party boyz and girlz! C'mon up!!! YEA BUDDY!!!:D

I'm definitely in whatever day it is, sounds like a good day.

[jimmythegreek]

great idea jim,i'll see if I can get the president to fish with us.

I havent seen ur son out the past few weeks, I'd guess hes getting ready to whack some deer from a treestand :)

def tell him to come out Ed, if u end up needing a seat let me know I'll make room for ya in my rig buddy

[flatcreek]

Thanks for doing this again Jim, ya did a great job last year and the tips and tricks (techniques) you post are great. Think maybe there should be more discussion of techniques or tips and tricks on the board. As for the date I like the earlier dates myself, give us all a chance to take a second swing at it or an alternate date if we have bad weather. But whatever is fine with me, I'll make time.:)

Walleye at GL sounds interesting.

[RyanMac14]

Jimmy this sounds great for either weekend. As a newbie for hybrids, id love to hear your advice on techniques and rigs. Thanks and look forward to the m and g

[bunker dunker]

thanks jim,your the man.your right about the deer hunting,we have been shooting the bows for the last few weeks.;)

[ChaosStarter]

Can I hop on someone's boat? lol. I got all my own jigging equipment. Otherwise I'm restricted to my kayak.

[jimmythegreek]

For the record it was Dales idea last year (getanet) I just did the legwork and we both did the scouting the day before the M+G so dont give me all the credit

[justin1982]

I'd love to come out but I don't have a boat, if I can hop on someone's ill bring food/beer...

[waynedane]

I'll be looking to fill a seat on my boat.

[kcritch]

I'll most likely have an extra seat on mine as well. Hell for food and beer I'll make you a part owner! :D

Seriously...as we get closer and the date is set if anyone is looking for a spot on a boat just shoot me a PM. First come first served.

[Mikey topaz]

Im in

[Walleyed]

I'll most likely have 1 open seat on my boat, possibly 2.

bring food/beer/bad jokes and you're welcome aboard.

[Wilson]

I need a ride... can pay for gas, bait, etc.
If you need someone to take good pictures and not catch anything I'm the guy:D PM me.

I smoke so if that bothers you......

[Walleyed]

No issue with the smoke as long as you don't toss the butts overboard.

[flatcreek]

Your right Jim, Dale was the front man on that M+G and a big Thank You to Dale. Hope he'll be participating this year, woundn't be a hybrid M+G without Getanet.:)

[GetANet]

Thanks Guys,
Of course I'm in. We tried to help everyone last year get on some fish.
Jimmy lives up there so he's a bit more in touch with what's happening on the water.
I think this one's gonna be better than last year because of the water levels being up this year.
I think the bow is already taken in my luxuriously shag carpeted boat as well
CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

I've caught one or two of them as well so any questions you may ask me as well......
We want you first timers to catch em' as well as having a good time!!!!!!

[waynedane]

PM me for a seat.

[dopderbeck]

I'd love to come with my son and our bass boat. He has soccer Sundays so a Sat. would be great for us.

[Lard Almighty]

If someone's got an extra spot on their boat, I'd love to tag along. I'll pay for gas, bait, booze, whatever. Either day works for me.

[Walleyed]

Update: 1 seat open.

Ok.....I'm going to have 2 spots open on my boat. it's a 21' with a hardtop, so if needed you can get out of the inclement weather, should we encounter any. (yeah, I'm spoiled...wanna make something of it??)

If you need a ride for the M&G, PM me. First come, first serve.

Jim

[bowzonly]

25 or 26 works for me. Very excited, been wanting to try hybrids this year but had a very rough one with four deaths in the family. I have
the last 3 weeks in OCT off. (The last 3 vacations I had were spent at funerals). And by the way, yes I am looking for pity(LOL). I have a 14 foot boat and it would be just me so I will have room. Unless my buddy from ARIZ. is here that week. Would he be able to tag along?

[jimmythegreek]

This is open to ANYONE, bring anyone you like guys. Its a great way to put names to faces and say hi to guys, everyone I go to I end up seeing someone I have seen while out fishing and never knew they were NJF'ers!

so far the majority of ppl want sunday instead of saturday, and its a toss up between the 2 weekends. Im gonna check w dows to see bait situation later 2day and will make a date this week.

[ScowardNJ]

Looking forward to this! I have both weekends open.

[gwl2oneida]

The 26th is best for me. I'm on a tuna trip Nov 1. Thinking I'll have to tow my lil boat down for this one.

[Walleyed]

Jimmy,

You decide on the date yet?

[waynedane]

I have an 18ft boat with an extra seat for the M&G on the 26th. Send me a pm, Wayne.
