2025 Long Point Tournament Results

The weather allowed for a beautiful day out this past Saturday at Nanticoke. With only 3 teams, it was a “Winner Take All” shootout! Although the fish were stacked throughout the bay, the bite was a relatively tough one. Although things started well early, things seemed to dry right up as the day went on. Luckily, some of the key bites did come early and the team of Matt K. and Scott B. narrowly edged out the win with a couple of 5 pounders in their 22.85 lb bag.

Thank you to all who participated. The next tournament is October 19th at Kettle Point. If there is enough interest, we will look at adding either a virtual tourney (October) or a late fall (i.e. November) tourney to finish the year as well.

2025 Wildwood Evening Results

The Wildwood tourney last night brought a fun-filled evening of fish catching! Once the wind died down the bite was on and a lot of fish were caught! Congrats to Jeff and Scott for edging out a win and to Jeromy and Scott for edging out a big fish win by 5/100ths of a pound!

2025 Lake St. Clair Opener Tournament

A beautiful day on the water helped us kick off our first bass tourney of the year! Lack of wind and lots of sun made for a hot day but catching fish made the heat bearable! Congrats to Felicia and Terry on a great win and shout out to everyone else for finding lots of beautiful fish (both brown and green)!
