Hi Zach / Clint -

 

Two quick questions.  Is the format of the tournament still three (3) biggest fish like last year or is it unlimited fish to stay in line with tournament trail series? 

 

Also, if we get bad weather Saturday, is tournament cancelled or pushed off to Sunday?

 

Thanks again!

Chad

Best 3 fish over 40 like last years tourney. As for bad weather, looks like rain and wont cancel for that but lightning is another thing all together. Will call the other members today to discuss that and #s of fish . Good points sir.

Thank you sir

There may need a little clarification here....it is best 3 fish for the tourney over 30".  A 30" fish gets you 4 points and each additional inch will get another point.  So 30" is 4 points a 31" fish is 5 tournament points and so on.  Then if you are a member any fish you catch over 30" will earn you points towards the tournament trail and this is unlimited fish.  just make sure that I get the paperwork on all fish over 30" that you catch and I will add them to tourney trail points.    Any other questions please feel free to ask on here, our facebook page, or email at [email protected]

Great turn despite the rainy start, close to 100 people turned out to support our club and make it what it will become! Fish were caught, had a ton of help putting this event together , all in all- great event gentlemen!

 

Trolling seemed to be the key as 1st and 2nd were taken that way. If anyone had any extra pics, please post. Congrats to many time champs John Haffner and Bryan Farmer with 1st, father son team of Kevin n Drew Hines for 2nd and another father son team of Mark Enrico for 3rd.

Great to hear that the tourney went well. Looks like there was a good amount of dry time. Wish I could have been there.

 

Nice looking trophy.

 

How many fish over 30" were caught? Were there many under 30"?

Had a great time at the tournament.  95 people turned out on a day that was slated for horrible weather - lots of musky addicts out there apparently    

 

Joe and I finished the day with a 40", 38" and bonus walleye to boot.  If it wasn't torrential downpours of rain/wind, then we weren't catching fish.  All of our activity came in the worst weather of the day.  

 

 

Special thanks to Mike Sperry over at Chautauqua Reel Outdoors for letting the club host the event at his place.  Check out CRO if you are ever in the area.

 

Good luck to everyone the rest of the year!

Unreal fish!   Congrats to Frank on what I understand to be his largest ever from Chautauqua.  Giant!!
