Al Dickinson proudly displays his 2017 Bassman of the Year trophy along with the travelling trophy.  Al gave a great speech at our Awards Night, letting everyone know how much the club means to him and how much effort he puts into each tournament.  Congratulations Al on a great 2017 season! 

Our last event of the season was on Saratoga lake, and it was typical fall fishing where some were on them, and some were not. One of the people on them was our Vice President Frank Rossetti. Frank took home the win with a mixed bag weighing 12.46 pounds. Coming in second was the winner of the 2017 Bassman title, Al Dickinson with 11.49 pounds. Finishing up in third was George Lock with 11 pounds even. Great job guys, and congratulations!

Ticonderoga in late July is usually a struggle, and this year was no exception. The bites were hard to come by to say the least, but when they did bite, the Ti quality showed out. Several anglers were able to put together two consecutive days with solid bags. Al Maher was at the top of this list as he repeated his 2016 victory this year with a 2 day weight of 33.03 pounds. Coming in second was the perennial co angler of the year, Frank Rossetti with 29.17, and finishing in third was Frank Polomaine with 26.74 pounds. Congratulations goes to them all.

Al Maher wins the 2016 Bassman title on Lake Bomoseen! It was a beautiful day weather-wise, but this normally fantastic lake was extremely stingy with fish. Only 3 limits were brought in for the whole event compared to 22 last year. Even still some solid anglers caught enough. Congratulations to Bob Richard for taking the win by 5 1/2 pound margin! Well done Bob! Congratulations also to Al Maher who came in second with 11.44 lbs and locked down our version of the AOY, and finally to Paul Pflieger for his third place finish with 10.52 lbs.
