Finger Lakes Bass Tournament??

[Guppy35]

Anybody know of any bass tournaments coming up (other than this weekend)? Preferably on Keuka or Lamoka/Waneta?

Thanks,

Sean

Thanks for reminding me to look. I avoid them like the plague. Nothin ruins my highly anticipated time on the water like a bass tourny. Nothing wrong with them. Just that, Fishin is not a competition with me and I like to fish away from others when possible.

Here is a quick link I found.

Good luck...

Thanks for the link! I rarely fish tournaments so i know the feeling when you get on the water only to realize there is a tournament going on. Just got a new boat this year though, 1998 Bass Tracker so i thought maybe i'd try a tourney or two this year.

Since we are on the topic, I will say that having the Dave Wood tourney on Waneta/Lamoka on opening day of bass/muskie EVERY YEAR really grinds me. I too avoid tourneys like the plague, but being the ONLY local lake with pure muskies, there aren't a lot of options for the musky guys and the small launch and parking area, compounded by this tourney makes it a royal mess. To say nothing of being a rather small body of water that becomes a combat zone.

Plenty of other bass lakes out there for the opener, why is the need felt to crowd these ones even further on opening day???

Call it what you wish: selfish, disrespectful, inconsiderate...all the above.
