the 2020 Lake Ontario Pro Challenge Cup series

[Capt Vince Pierleoni]

For 2020 the events used for scoring will be the Niagara Pro Am, the Oak Orchard Open(new for 2020), and the Sodus Pro Am. Sign up will take place at the Niagara Pro Am Captains meeting, and the Cup will be awarded at the Sodus Pro Am awards ceremony. There has only been a couple of years where the Cup was awarded for two, 2 day events--last year was one of them due to unforeseen circumstances involving one of the planned tournaments. While staying with the 2 day, multi species theme of Tournaments used, (for the traditional Challenge Cup chase) other factors have to be considered. The 3 chosen for 2020 scoring have proven stability and hopefully adequate dockage for traveling vessels.

At one time there was 2 scoring events in the western basin, and 2 in the eastern basin, and we are hopeful in the future to return to this format. In recent years this Cup chase consisted of 1 tournament in the Western basin and 2 in the Eastern basin--all of which were 2 day multi species events.

Lets hope we have a dry Spring in the Great Lakes basin.

Sounds like a great addition to the cup Vince. With the early warmth let’s home for a drier spring and great fishing. Looks like it’s time to get a team together for the oak.

With the cancellation of the Niagara Pro Am, and confirmation of the Oak Orchard Open and Sodus Pro Am, the 2020 Lake Ontario Challenge Cup will be awarded based on the scores from those 2 events(4 days).
