Hats off to my friends at the Lycoming Creek Anglers. I give them lots of credit. These guys and gals make our fishing experiences much more splendid. Yes. We have battled some rain and high waters, but this spring has been fantastic. We are so spoiled. I finally snuck out for a few casts. I
Memorial Day has come and gone, and with it, it brought what most folks consider to be the first day of summer. Forget the meteorologists and calendar makers who have decreed that occurrence doesn’t happen until June 20; it’s Memorial Day that signals the beginning of summer fun! Originally known as Decoration Day, the last
One of the most often asked questions I hear is “when is the best time to hunt turkeys?’ The first week of our spring season is preferred by many and there are those who are convinced that the last week of the season is the best time to call in a lonely gobbler. For sure
When you look at the title of this story, you would think I’m talking about some of the lousy, rainy weather we’ve been dealing with this spring, but I’m actually referring to something positive. What I’m actually talking about is the outstanding fishing that can be had during the spring days and particularly for black
As a ten-year-old Little Leaguer, Peter Sinibaldi dreamed of someday hitting a walk-off home run just like his New York Yankees heroes were doing. Eight years later, his walk-off single gave his South Williamsport high school team a 2-1 win over Sayre, clinching the school’s second consecutive District IV championship. Telling the media after the
I have seen many baseball venues — larger-than-life professional ball fields to stunning Little League complexes. I once waved a Homer Hankie in the Metrodome. A left-handed friend of ours pitched at Memorial. I almost caught a fly ball at Dodgers Stadium. I used to hang out on the bank to catch the games at
I was doing some target shooting the other day, and missing the target is not something we want to have happen. We know what we’re after and what we want to see when target shooting, and surprises are generally not a welcome sight. However, missing the target can sometimes be a welcomed surprise when it
Whether you are lucky enough to have taken your first spring gobbler and wonder how to maximize the use of the meat, or an experienced hunter who is looking for some different ideas as to how to prepare this Great American game bird for the dinner table, let’s look at some recipes that have worked
Whether you are seeking to fill your second spring gobbler tag or are still looking to connect with the first bird, there is still time to use some late-season tactics to get the job done. All day hunting for spring gobblers begins on Monday, May 19 (which means you can hunt from one-half hour before
How many times have you been out on a trout stream and seen someone netting trout regularly? When we see someone hooking up pretty consistently, the first question that probably comes to mind is, “What are you using?” In my early days of trout fishing, I watched the guy who taught me the art of
It was a beautiful day as the school bus carrying the South Williamsport softball team began its journey to Wilkes-Barre for a key matchup with highly regarded Holy Redeemer. Traveling across Route 80, the normality of the trip was shattered with shrieks of laughter as players scurried to close windows as a sudden storm brought
No words, folks. I feel so bad for the family. Continued prayers to my friends in South Side. This little girl has been on our minds for the entire week. The community has thankfully responded.
