2014 State Championship Lake Erie
I will be updating the website everyday so please keep checking.
All applications must be mailed in by September 24th.
I will be leaving home September 28th Please send your applications to me if you have not sent it in already. You will need the Lake Erie stamp for this tournament. Catching fish in deep water may require fizzing the air bladder. If you are not sure how to do this procedure try using FLIP CLIPS attached the lower fin to keep the fish upright in the live well. We will be fishing Pennsylvania waters only at this point that gives you approx 18 mile each way. If we have small craft advisories we will fish the Bay only. All boats must carry flares with current date and Distress signal flags or some type of signal devices. I will air on the side of your safety first under my watch. All life vests must be zipped and buckled anytime the outboard is running from the beginning of the tournament till the end, no exceptions. PS I have never been to Erie so I will use the rules and advice from District 6.

Last Chance for 2014!
MR BASS LAST CHANCE
SAYERS LAKE
September 20-21, 2014
In 3 weeks, the Last Chance tournament will take place on Sayers Lake. This is open to all Federation members including those who have already qualified for the Championship. Qualified members will be fishing for cash while those who have not qualified will be fishing for both cash and a spot in the Championship. Some people may be fishing for a position change from co-angler to angler or angler to co-angler. Whatever the purpose, this tournament is a “race to the finish line”. There is no pre-tournament meeting so that saves the expenses of a hotel stay for that night if you choose. With the launch on the first day scheduled at 9am, it is an easy morning drive from the farthest corner of the State. When you arrive, you will pay for lunker for the two days and draw your boat number. If everyone is checked in and ready to go, we will launch. If you are not there by 9am you are out (no exceptions). The weigh-in for day one will be 3pm. After you weigh-in you will draw your boat number for day 2 and meet your partner. Launch for day two will be a safe light and weigh-in will be at 1:00. At the conclusion of the tournament, prizes will be awarded and the qualifiers will be announced. Qualifiers will sign the Championship application and write a check for it right there; so come prepared.
The entrance fee:
$140 Angler
$70 Co-angler
Lunker $20 per person and awarded on both sides
Best of luck to all the competitors !!!
