HOOKS FOR HARRY KIDS FISHING CONTEST

8 AM -12 PM

Saturday, June 27 - It's one awesome weather and fishing weekend for anyone in New York. It's free fishing today and tomorrow. It's also the annual Kids fishing Derby at the Newfane town marina. You can sign up starting at 8 am. It ends at noon and you can fish the piers to Burt Dam. (I think I have that right). There are several awesome prizes and get this FREE BAIT - until we run out of course. We (Boat Doctors) are providing loads of nightcrawlers and soft baits for the kids today! Many other businesses are providing prizes also. The derby is for kids ages 4 to 15. The added bonus is hopefully a few LIFETIME FISHING LICENSES FOR KIDS to be drawn at hopefully 12:30 by Harry's mom and dad. Those will be available to ALL ages from 0-15. You will receive a ticket and the child MUST be present to win one of the licenses. They do not have to be fishing. That opens up the winner to all children who can't fish in a derby. We will not know how many licenses will be available until the actual drawing because we are selling and collecting raffle tickets right up until noon! Raffle tickets for the $500, $250 and $100 will be on sale at the marina all morning. Vic has kids from the school coming to help. Kids fishing the derby will be eligible to win the many prizes they have for each age group. All kids fishing the derby will also get a ticket for the lifetime license drawing. I hope I said this right! Apologies anglers, I have been rather out of it for the last 10 days or so. My brother Kevin passed away from a heart attack last Friday and the ambulance, mercy flight, then not, then life support for three days and everything just threw me off guard. This has been devastating to me, so bear with me. The Summer LOC starts today! Fishing the lake turned back on and everyone is limiting out early. Spoons and meat ...lighter colors
TIP: If you are planning on visiting the area this year, BOOK EARLY! There is a new AI plant being built in Somerset and the workers need housing. Shop around and you will find something. MY LODGING PICKS FOR THIS MONTH
