New York’s Reelin’ for a Cure brings in plenty of fish for a great cause

Nine years ago, Stephanie Pierleoni, of Newfane, N.Y., had a dream to create a fishing tournament on Lake Ontario that would allow women to enjoy a salmon and trout resource that she has a passion for. At the same time, they would be raising much-needed funds to support some cancer-related benefactor in the area.
“Reelin’ for a Cure” became a reality.
“Being able to give back to our local women fighting cancer or in memory of someone who has lost their battle just feels good and I feel the kindness and love every single year at this event,” Pierleoni said.

Bassmaster Elite Series angler boats over 100 pounds in New York tournament stop

After claiming his first blue trophy at the season’s fourth event at the St. Johns River, Cory Johnston, of Otonabee, Canada, tallied 102 pounds and claimed the $100,000 top prize at the Bassmaster Elite series tournament held Aug. 15-18 on the St. Lawrence River.
“It was a lot of hard work. I put a lot of time into this,” Johnston said. “I’ve said it 100 times, this is my favorite place to come, this is my favorite crowd with all my family and friends, all the Canadian support — and it’s a short drive home.”

Dan Ladd: New York DEC being proactive on non-lead ammo

Remember when you were a kid and your parents said if you didn’t clean your room they were going to do it for you? Deep down, you knew that as much as you wanted to put off the chore, the outcome would be much better if you did it yourself.
That’s the point I was making a few issues back when discussing the filling of antlerless deer tags. It’s also likely the case with DEC’s non-lead ammunition efforts, including the recent expansion of it’s study on the topic and accompanying hunter rebate program.
