Title: New York Free Fishing Days
Post by: Vine Valley on Feb 13, 2018, 08:05 PM

New York Free Fishing Days:
This coming weekend Saturday Feb 17th & Sunday Feb 18th are Free Fishing Days in New York State.
No fishing license is required.
New York State does this to promote fishing but unfortunately they keep it a SECRET!!!
Their publicity department does an extremely poor job of promoting this event.
This is a great opportunity for ice fishermen to introduce others to the fun of ice fishing.
Perhaps you could take a friend or relative out who has never been ice fishing.
Perhaps you could take your wife or your girlfriend or even both out ice fishing.
Please spread the word on Free Fishing Days.
Thanks

Thanks!  This helps me with my sales pitch to my gf and her siblings.  We're staying at a house on Chautauqua this weekend, and I want to bring my ice gear.  It's a long shot, but this helps my argument!  :tipup:
