On July 12 the club held their 2nd points tournament of 2025 on Saratoga Lake. At launch the skies were threatening and right after launch a fierce storm pelted us with rain until almost 10 AM. While everyone caught many fish that day and everyone weighed in a limit, the very small bag weights show that this fishery continues to decline to a shadow of its former self. There are numerous theories on the cause of this, but the predominant is the continuing application of herbicides to the lake. When the weigh-in was over, it was no surprise that the winner was Al Maher who has been a very consistent angler on this lake and an angler that succeeds when the fishing requires a very slow and determined approach. Al's limit of 12lbs 6oz with a 3lb 9 oz lunker secured his win over George Locke who finished second with 11lbs 3 ounces. Bill Piggott finished 3rd with 11lbs even.
Dave Black surprised everyone with a tournament lunker of 5lbs 2 oz which is leading for lunker of the year. Al's win leaves him in first place in club standings after 2 tournaments.
