And another thing....they removed their animal mounts, that featured the work of local taxidermist, due to a complaint from a parent..supposedly, and/or because of the cost to maintain and clean them.
Seriously?

Wow, the weekend yuppie shoppers taking over.

Ward's is the best!
P.S. I absolutely hate this snow. Every time I drill a hole, 2 inches of water comes on top of the ice from below the ice. Can't jig inside my shanty without me and my shanty and all my gear getting soaking wet. This sucks!

I said this on another post Gander Mountain...Overpriced S**t !!!!!!!!

TRAPPER3 · « **Reply #6516 on:** Feb 06, 2014, 06:30 PM »

I believe in supporting local shops but not at the point of getting ripped off !!!!
If you go online you can buy everything cheaper but would rather pay a little more and shop local.....but don't stick it up my ICEHOLE !!!!!

O&H in chester has bait from what I heard said he may get more Saturday morning at 6:30.... he is working out of his house.... guess I need to get bait tomorrow morning at my local bait shop before everyone sells out!

Dave327 · « **Reply #6518 on:** Feb 06, 2014, 07:09 PM »

You can also try Tom's bait shop in Fairoaks.

The only bad thing about O & H is he is only opened on weekends. Maybe with Gander not selling bait anymore maybe he could try to be opened a little more !

Tips for fishing Walton Lake with tip ups, thinking running a line from the 40 to the 60 fow marks. Also, Gas Augers allowed?

The crazy thing is I totally believed you! Its a friggin sports shop that sells implements used to kill animals, harvest animals, whatever you wanna call it. I cant quit understand why a company like that would bow to pressure from anyone for something like that. Its not like it was a Dairy Queen(Mmmm..) and the owner had stuff hanging all over the place..but even then I would still buy some frozen goodness. LOL!!

Good morning fellow SENY ice fishermen Please check out new thread "SENY ICE Shanty 2014 Outing" the date is Saturday February 15.2014 at Mahogany Ridge Hunting and Fishing club contest at Highland Lake near Eldred,NY. (Western Sullivan county). I hope to see some of you there more details in thread.

I guess Gander Mountain wants to switch to catering to hikers/campers and other outdoor activities and away from fishing and hunting. Also may want to be Like Cabela's Stores which have actual cafeteria type set ups in stores. I hope Cabelas eventually builds a store in Secacus ,NJ. area like they announced a few years back. Personally I like to actually see and handle gear rather then purchase on-line or from catalog.

I'm not able to locate that thread ? Maybe post a link to it from his thread also

Loudmouth879 · « **Reply #6532 on:** Feb 07, 2014, 11:49 AM »

Anyone fishing the Glenmere tourny tomorrow?

Redneck Fishfinder · « **Reply #6533 on:** Feb 07, 2014, 11:57 AM »

For Gander Mountain... Why do they give in to PETA complaints? THEY SHOULD STAND THEIR GROUND! Just because someone complains doesn't mean we have to entertain them- if they don't like it don't shop there! Every time Gander Mountain does something that takes away from the sportsman who shop there they lose customers. It's no wonder they look like they are going under. That store was so nice when it opened.

FishGuts · « **Reply #6534 on:** Feb 07, 2014, 12:47 PM »

Sportsmen are constantly losing their rights because people, like those in charge at gander mountain, Give in to yuppie demands. we are the minority Now my friends.
By the way...I'm doing the Morningside derby tomorrow.
Anyone else?

kb · « **Reply #6535 on:** Feb 07, 2014, 01:05 PM »

I'm probably going to sylvan. Haven't fished it yet this year.

Redneck Fishfinder · « **Reply #6536 on:** Feb 07, 2014, 01:10 PM »

If I didn't have to work tomorrow I'd be up there this weekend. I'm definitely doing king of the ice- I am going to try to make it out for highland lake.

FishGuts · « **Reply #6537 on:** Feb 07, 2014, 05:56 PM »

Just came back from Morningside.
Went to do a little scouting. Miserable.
12" of snow. 20 inch thick ice. Almost got to the plate
on my auger before it would hit water. Not a bite.
Not even a nibble between me and my brother.
I'm skipping the contest to hit a sweeter spot.

PWG · « **Reply #6538 on:** Feb 07, 2014, 06:10 PM »

Guys,

What is this fish at the bottom?
They both came from the pickerel's stomach.
I know the one on the top, but what is the one that looks like herring?
Do we have freshwater herring in our lakes?
Is that what they call alewife?

FishGuts · « **Reply #6539 on:** Feb 07, 2014, 06:19 PM »

Yeah I think you've got an alewive there.
They are a smaller species of herring commonly found in fresh water.
They are in saltwater also we catch them sometimes when we are fishing for blueback herring with the smaller size hooks.
