This weekend, Burlington Boatyard will be volunteering at the Yankee Sportsman’s Classic to assist our friends at Lake Champlain International. We are proud sponsors of LCI and always enjoy time spent in promoting their mission and assisting in anyway we can to ensure that many stay aware of the beneficial programs and initiatives they carry out daily.

Below you will find a notice from LCI, which provides information inviting you to stop by and discuss a variety of topics they are involved in.

We are looking forward to a fun and educational weekend at the show, and feel free to stop by and give a shout!

Well, as many of you know by now, one of the world’s best ice fishermen, Dave Genz, is coming to Vermont this January to spend time with local anglers who wish to learn more about every aspect of the sport. On the contrary, many of you haven’t heard about me, Shawn Hayes, and I want to use this blog post to share a bit more about who I am, what I do, and my relationship with fishing and being a close friend with “Genzy”.

For years now I have run my own charter service out of Lake Champlain and Bomoseen, am a member of many Prostaffs, and try and give back to the outdoor community as much as possible. In having my hand in many opportunities to promote angling and the outdoor lifestyle, I have been fortunate enough to know and work closely with Dave Genz, and value this more than I can put into words.
