Presented by the NIAGARA BASSMASTERS

This tournament has been growing steady each year for the last few years! This year has been a bit of a struggle as we had to move the date due to a conflict with the CSFL’s Great Lakes Series which changed its dates for this year. As we have done the best we could to work around Bassmania we have had to go with this new date.

New this year, Prize for Big Smallmouth, Big Largemouth and second biggest fish!

It’s a fun event for a great cause. Last year we were able to donate $3000.00 to the charity and hope to increase that this year. Prizes are donated from local businesses both small and large as well as sponsors from the fishing industry. Last years winning team walked away with $1000.00, All other competing teams went home with cash or prizes. There will be food and beverages available for the competing anglers after the event.
Entry form is available at our website at www.niagarabassmasters.com or email Pete Elphinstone at championproteam@yahoo.ca and he will email you a copy.
Once again this is a fun event and any/all teams are welcome. (B.A.S.S. membership is not required)

This is also a great opportunity to enjoy fishing the same waters that the Bassmania Great Lakes Series and OBF qualifier was held on. Hope to see you there!

Remember that this is for a great cause and the money raised stays locally.

If you’re not interested in fishing the tournament, and would still like to help out we’re in need of a weigh master, two controllers, ticket sellers, fizzers and fish runners.

Pete is trying to get a few kids to be fish runners. They can’t be too small/young, the bags will not be full of water but still heavy enough.
He’ll need one member that will hand out weigh-in bags.
He’ll need 1 person preferably not competing to stand on the bridge that enters the creek to do boat check-in. We can have a check-in boat but if we can I would like someone on the bridge instead.
Finally if we have a large turn-out we will probably have people parking at the boat club. We need someone to direct traffic.
If you can fill these or know someone that can please repost this.
