Thanks Scott and Les

I don't fish it enough. Only once in a great while and it is right in my back yard. I'm either going to Sandy, the Oak, Braddock's or the finger lakes. Unfortunately things are going to be different for me and the kid this year. My 17 year old loves bass fishing so we are going to be hitting the canal a lot. Is it safe to eat the fish out of there?

The canal is directly 1/8 mile behind my house through a woods. Looks like I'm going to be fishing out of the canal a lot this summer.

I went both days and I agree great information. Nice prizes and picked up some good tips. A lot of good information shared. Thanks Dan, Rob and Lucas.

Pete, Andy and Matt you guys did an outstanding job at this years Salmon School. I missed last years school. You guys put a lot of hard work into this and it showed. You weren't afraid to share tips and information and I thank you that. I have a 21 foot Starcraft and I'm always wishing if I had a bigger boat I could do this or do that or do better. Yes a bigger boat would be nice with more room and being able to move rods out of the way when needed but when it comes down to it, it's the knowledge of what to do when being out there on the water. Actually it starts when you do your homework prior to being out there and looking at the previous weather and wave conditions and you guys shared that in great detail. I remember the phrase from a famous fisherman and author, "Knowledge is the key to fishing success". I want to thank you guys for sharing your knowledge with us fishermen and fisherwoman. I spent a lot of money this past weekend at the show and things are going to be a little different on my boat this year. I can't wait to get out there. Thanks again.

I said this 5 and a half years ago. There are some people who complain about Cuomo and his cronies but haven't bothered to vote in years. You can get up at 4:00AM and fish all day or sit in a tree stand but you can't take ten minutes to vote. Makes me sick. Wait until you see what he wants to do for Phase 2 of the Safe Act. It's going to get worse unless we get him out of office.

I have had four guys ask me in the last two weeks if we carry Blackhorn 209 powder. I spoke with my manager and we will start to carry it. We won't get a lot at once but we will start carrying it soon at Runnings Brockport. We just got a bunch of CVA and Traditions products. From what my coworkers say, the muzzleloading stuff sells fast.

FYI, the gun show at the dome arena is this Saturday and Sunday the 12th and 13th. I'll be helping my buddy all day on Saturday. Stop by and say hello at Black Creek Outfitters table.

They don't advertise like they used to and everyone finds out after the fact.. I wanted to give you folks a heads up. The gun show at the dome arena is this Saturday and Sunday. I'll be there all day Saturday helping my buddy at the Black Creek Outfitters table. Stop by and say hello.

Thanks for the tips guys.Very good info. My buddy picked one up at a gun auction a few days ago and gave it to me for helping him out at the gun show a couple of weeks ago. It's a Bushnell Yardage Pro. I guess it's an older model but it is like brand new condition. I put a new battery in it and it works fine. I've lucked out the last 3 weeks. Won a Rapala fishing pliers at a gun raffle, bought a 25 cal. automatic for $50.00 at the gun show. The sales tag was upside down and no one bothered to check it out. Then I get a free range finder. I need to buy some lottery tickets.

Thanks for the info Chris. I'll mark the trees

Hi Folks, I want to buy a range finder but have never had one or know anything about them. I don't need anything fancy or real expensive, just something that's good from 30 to 200 yards. Any help would be much appreciated. Good hunting this year and be safe. Jim
