The club traveled to Northern Champlain for a 2-day tournament out of Rouses Point for a 2-day tournament on August 23-24. The water level of the lake was historically low and that made safe navigation a concern. On day 1 we were greeted by windy, but manageable lake conditions and although fishing was somewhat disappointing, Eric Madden weighed a 14lb 5 oz limit to take his first club win. (In his third club tournament). Paul Pflieger finished second with 12lbs 3oz and Joe Cucurito finished 3rd with 11lbs 11oz. Tournament lunker was a 3lb 10oz smallmouth caught by Paul Pflieger. The tournament was shortened by one day as there was a wind advisory with predicted winds of 15-25 knots for Sunday. The wind was already very strong at the launch when the decision was made on Sunday morning to cancel the second day due to safety concerns.
