What a great idea, kinda jealous that I didn't have a fish club when I was in school. It's wonderful to see you are getting kids away from the video games/computers and back in to the outdoors. I have a bunch of older tip ups that I no longer use that I can give you, may need new line on them. I also have a couple poles, reels, bait buckets and a few other accessories that are just gathering dust. I drive thru Broadalbin every so often, can I just drop them off at the school?

we are all on computors right now =))

Hey adkRoy - received your package today! Thank you so much for your donation to our fish club. The jigs will definitely get some good use.

It is much appreciated!

adkRoy · « **Reply #32 on:** Feb 08, 2016, 05:55 PM »

you are welcome.

Crappie Killr · « **Reply #33 on:** Feb 09, 2016, 08:09 AM »

Great pictures, looks like the kids had fun. I never realized GSL had so many smallmouth, I always think of it as pike and walleye.

Have you reached out to Jim's bait shop, Dave's bait and tackle, and Franks Gun shop to see if they would be willing to make donations since they are all local and near you.

Typically we don't get into the smallies in the winter, but we do catch plenty in the spring time. It was a nice surprise. The kids caught a few nice ones.

Funny you mention that adkRoy, I am headed to Franks tomorrow to see if they are interested in helping out. I am also going to stop by Runnings in Gloversville. I will also reach out to Jim's Bait shop and Dave's. Great idea! Thanks!

Make sure those kids first learn about ice fishing safety. Tons of videos showing how to check ice thickness, and what to do if you fall through. These are things people need to know.

its the most important part of ice fishing for everyone involved.

Yes, we have had a classroom session with some of the kids already. On the ice we showed them the gear we have available for emergency purposes. I even showed them a video of me jumping into a swimming pool this summer with my float suit on to demonstrate the technology that exists to ensure safety on the ice 😄

Hey BigT - Thank you so much for your generous care package! Lots of goodies in it for the kids. A few of them were in my class when the package arrived so I let them open it up. It was like watching my own kids on Christmas morning. They were so excited!

Thanks again! I'm so happy to see the support we are getting. You guys are great!!!

BigT · « **Reply #42 on:** Feb 12, 2016, 10:25 PM »

That's great. As stated I have more for them when they start fishing open water. best wishes to your students & I hope they catch a lot of good memories

We took another group of kids out on GSL yesterday afternoon. Its a lot of fun to have the kids out there with us. Love the enthusiasm when a flag goes up! In all we caught 14 fish...1 big perch, 5 walleye, 8 smallies. One of the kids lost a really big eye at the hole.

I also want to acknowledge Frank's Gun Shop for their help in making sure the kids have what they need out on the ice! Yesterday, they donated bait, a bait bucket, new tip ups, and they are allowing us to use one of their augers. I can't thank John and his staff enough for their efforts. They truly see the value in getting these kids out on the water and learning the sport.

Please visit us on twitter @BP_FishClub to get the latest details and photos about our club. Thanks again.

B-P Fish Club · « **Reply #46 on:** Feb 17, 2016, 08:14 AM »

Thank you Fishy1. We are on winter vacation right now so we won't get your package until Monday. I'll be sure to let the kids open it up first thing in the morning.

We are also going to have a fish fry for all kids as sort of a "grand opening/welcoming" to the Fish Club when school is back in session.

Thanks again!

We had our fish fry this afternoon. 40 kids showed up to participate. It was awesome! We couldn't fry the fish fast enough. Special thanks to Gadway and Crappiekillr for donating fish to our cause. We all had a blast.

B-P Fish Club · « **Reply #50 on:** Feb 25, 2016, 06:50 PM »

Here is our official logo for our club. We had a few different ones, but this is the one the kids voted for.
I think it is a great choice!
What do you guys think of it?

You also have Ross's bait shop close by.

Awesome pictures. The kids picked out a nice design.

BigT · « **Reply #56 on:** Feb 29, 2016, 10:28 PM »

You should get some decals made up for sale. I would be proud to buy one and put it on my boat.

B-P Fish Club · « **Reply #57 on:** Mar 01, 2016, 03:38 PM »

Yes, we will be getting stickers and decals along with sweatshirts, hats, polos, etc. I will certainly let you know once we have them available. Thanks!

Wish I had you as a teacher some 40 something years ago..

BigT · « **Reply #59 on:** Mar 01, 2016, 10:38 PM »

Back then some of us were lucky enough to have grandfathers, fathers, uncles who were willing to teach us the fine art of fishing. It sure took a lot of patience & practice to get us to learn it the right way, but when things came together, and lessons were learned, there were smiles and congrats goin all around. I sure miss those days, but I hope to pass along some of the lessons I've learned, along with a few new tricks someday. The huge proud smile you get when a youngster hooks and lands their first fish is well worth it.......Just my 2 cents worth. GOOD LUCK KIDS!!!
