Hey Folks,

The VBC Sportsman are hosting their 19th annual Sportsman banquet on Tuesday, Feb 21st at 6:00 pm.

A $10 donation at the door will get you dinner and a 1 hr presentation by Deer & Deer Hunter editor Charlie Alshiemer, as well as raffles and prizes. Doors open at 6. Dinner is at 7. Charlie lectures from 8-9.

We will also have local fishing charter captains, hunting outfitters, archery shops, and other assorted vendors there to check out. It's a great time for everyone. Attendance is limited to the first 350 and we're halfway there with pre-registration. You can go to http://www.discovervictory.com to pre-register. Please pass the word.

Victory Baptist Church is just off Rte 390 at the E. Henrietta Road exit, just south of Rochester.

Thanks for coming out Tim. You guys are first class and welcome anytime.

VBC Sportsmen

VBC Sportsmen want to thank everyone that participated in the derby this morning. What a beautiful day to be on the ice. Who said there ain't any fish in the pond! Flags were flying! See you again next year!

PLEASE NOTE THIS CORRECTION - The date is Jan 21st, not 19th. This coming Saturday!!!

FK, Pre-registration was available online at www.discovervictory.com but by the time you read this it will be all printed out and closed up. We'll get you through registration and out on the pond quick enough. Fish eligible for prizes have to be weighed in by 12 noon. The VBC Sportsmen will be available right on the ice to weigh and measure fish (to encourage catch and release). Look for the guys in the orange vests. If you want to be eligible for prizes and raffles we need you in the lodge shortly after 12.

See you there.

We have ice!!! 4+ inches on 100 Acre Pond, Mendon Pond!

The VBC Sportsmen are hosting their 3rd Annual ice fishing derby this weekend, Saturday, January 19th on 100 Acre Pond in Mendon Ponds Park. Registration is at Hopkins Point Lodge starting at 7:00 am (the Park officially opens at 7:00 am so sleep in). Fishermen are allowed on the ice to set up but fishing is discouraged until 8:00 am. Last weigh-in is at 12:00 pm. Weighers will be on the ice to weigh and measure fish so CATCH AND RELEASE IS ENCOURAGED!!! The pond is a great fishing resource so lets keep it that way!

BRING YOUR OWN BAIT

Prizes will be awarded for adult/child largest and smallest northern pike and panfish along with raffles. A suggested donation of $10 per adult and $5 per child (<12 yrs old) is appreciated to cover costs of the Lodge and prizes. This is a great opportunity to grab the kids and spend some time on the ice. The Lodge is available for warming up. Coffee and hot chocolate is available.

Thanks Mortigan. The course is in great shape and we're having our best year yet. Hope to see you on the range.

Mike and Brian,

Nice trip. Glad you got to reel a couple in Mike. Most of the time your spendin time findin em for someone else, not catchin em. Mark those spots!

I shoot there a couple of times a week myself. Best kept archery secret in Rochester. Can't beat it. Tons of shots, nice targets, and no crowds = no brainer. All the donations ($5) go back into the course and targets. There is a playground right next to it so I drop the kids off and shoot for an hour. Anyone else been out there beside WWIV and Mortigan?

MIke,

Nice day. Glad to see your stretching your legs to find em. Wish I could have been there.

Rick,

WW, do you think sharp hooks will help? Going out with my buddy Johnson this weekend, I'll talk to him about that.

Gotta respect ya for not lettin the weather keep you off the water. The last guy I fished with only had one board. The boat kept going in circles. We caught one fish and I'm not sure how we even managed that one.

Be patient, weather is gonna break.
