Put me down. I'll fish out of the yak.

Count me in..not sure about fishing but will be there for the Pirate chili😂😂😂😂

I am in. I will either ho for a ride, or I will do solo in a kayak where no one else can go......

Please add Riverjosh to the crew of team gas nozzle.

I'm in with Flying Jenny. Team Tightlines.

Hmmmmm...Oct 23rd huh? A Great CTF Tradition I have been away from for a "few" years. To launch the big boat, the yak, ho.......or just stick to great blackfishing on the big boat. So tempting.

I'm BAAAAACk in the saddle agaaaaaaaain - get your net ready Pdona! (oh wait, this isn't the trash talking thread, is it?) :P

Piketoberfest founder in the house!!!!

Looks like Team Pickle will be fishing.

Should be fun.

Looking forward to rejoining this long standing great CTF event!

We'll give this Pike thing a shot, and bring some food & hooch (TBD, but you'll like it!).

Looks like it's coming together!

Sign up Bald Pelican and Tom (if he does not have to go to California)

Come on guys, jump on the food thread!

I don't know about everyone else...but I'm at work dreaming of pike fest can't wait to be out on the river!!

Please add to the food thread.

Just added a third member to our crew for Team "Toasty Biscuit" (Brandon J.)

I am going solo in the yak. I plan on winning this. If I do not win feel free to bust my ass...

Put me down, fishing with my non member son Justin P.

Haven't participated since 2010, have caught my fair share of Pike since then both in Ct and in Canada, so I'm hoping I have a few tricks up my sleeve. This will likely be my last outing for 2016, so I plan to make good of it.

Came in fourth one year, can't remember which, I want to take home something this time.

Do I still have to keep my head up for water balloons in Chapman's??? lol...........

Nice, Rich. Good luck.

My partner/guest is Wayne. Please make a note of it

Add Tony, AKA Gadabout to Team Skeeter!!!!!!

Ice-fishing warm-up crew!

Head count is shaping up nicely!

Hell yeah!!! I am really looking forward to seeing everyone and meeting some new ones.

Looks like its going to blow Sat night,up to 40mph Sunday breezy

Going to the winner, courtesy of Andrew and FF3.

Love the fishing factory3

Looking forward to Sunday. Looking forward to meeting ppl

Im in

UnknownAngler regretfully informed Joe and I that he won't be able to make it Sunday. So Team Gas Nozzle will be Joe and I from shore. Not sure the yaks are the best idea with the wind forecast...

Can't wait for Kapt's chili! And the aftermath!

I'm pulling out of the fishing. Prolly show up to the shindig at 2....with a big a$$ kite...

MEOW

I don't get how we can have so many people fishing and such a weak showing on the food thread, come on everyone step up!

It's a Freshwater event, what do you expect?!

Just be thankful it's not a CTF Freshwater Fly event or we would all be sharing a granola bar and a cup of trail mix.

I have faith CTFers will come through like they always do.

Team breaking skunk buddies, TimP, JeffS, EricP. We are gonna be fishing waters north of Hartford. good luck every buddy.....
I will bring hard cider, and wings. sorry Mitch, never too many wings right.

Awesome Tim! Yum cider!!!!!!!!

What are we playing for?


Good luck!!

Changed my mind. I am fishin...

Nice.

Nothing like some encouraging words to motivate you.

We've fished in worse. Hopefully the wind will lay down.

Picked up some gear this afternoon from one of our CTF sponsors......Andrew of Fishin' Factory III in Middletown.

Thanks once again Andrew.

Starkfish and murf out... stark bailed and went to see dad in tenesee...

Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow. My wife Michelle and I will be fishing from shore again like every year. Everyone stay safe!!

Good Luck all crews.

Team Blind Squirrel are backing down the Haddam Meadows boat launch now.

I for got today I'll be walking for the cure of type 1 diabetes for my Granddaughter.

RichTheFishMan is on the board with a 22" Pike...actually probably 23" since the 0" mark is short of the jaw.




Pretty slow day today. Caught a nice Smallmouth Bass, a few Largemouth, some Perch and some Calico.

After being called a wussy, I had to fish it. Thanks CWood !!
