There is a lot going of sport things going on this weekend. The Binghamton Mets are home at NYSEG Stadium. Saturday is the Kentucky Derby. It's also fishing season for Walleye, Pickerel, Tiger Muskellunge and Northern Pike in New York.

If you're a Black Bass fishermen then you are really looking forward to Saturday. There will be a special trophy Black Bass season on Lake Erie. You can keep one 20 inch or longer fish per day thru June 17th.

If you catch one and need help eating it, I am available on short notice. Is it wrong if I bring tarter sauce?

For all regular Black Bass fishermen, the catch and release season is underway in many places around New York. Keep in mind that the regular Bass season doesn't start until June 18th.

The fishing folk want to remind you to pick up a copy of the 2016-17 Freshwater Fishing Regulations Guide so that you know what the regulations are for where you are fishing. Go here to see the regulations in your area.

Good luck and Castaway.
