Club Focus
• We promote competitive tournament bass fishing in a friendly atmosphere.
Guests
• A boater may bring up to two partners a year (a non-member over age of 8) that will fish with that boater for that tournament, as his name will NOT go in the non-boater draw for that tournament.
Events
• We have an approx. 18 tournament schedule, with locations in northern NY and S.E. Ontario Canada.

• For American tournament events– fisherman are to be at the boat launch no later than 15 minutes before tournament start time.
-If you are not sure how to get to a the event boat launch, just call any club officer and they will give directions or arrange a meeting point on the morning of the tournament-
Competition

Angler Standings
• The club tournaments are counted on a point system – with 1st place counting 100 Pts, second place counting 99 Pts, third place counting 98 Pts, and so on.
• Each fisherman must fish at least 6 tournaments if he wants to be in the year end points race for awards and compete for a place on the state team.
• Each fisherman is allowed to drop their lowest tournament after fishing their 7th – 11th – 15th – 18th tournaments , then the remaining tournaments all get added up and averaged for a final score.
