Due to late arriving team rosters, Registration will be THURSDAY ONLY from 3 to 4. CAPTAINS ONLY

Launching out of the Northeast River of the Chesapeake will be 22 teams from 4 states looking to punch their ticket to the Regional for their State. Due to the Wuhan B********, we will not be allowed to have our traditional trademark family cookout during the weigh in and awards presentation and the weigh in can not be attended by family or other fans.

Launch Time: 5:30am

Check-in Time: Flight 1 – 2:45pm, Flight 2 – 3:15pm.

Check in boat will be in place at 2:30pm. Do not “buzz” the check in boat. IDLE ONLY speed and be sure you hear him repeat your boat number back to you. Anyone who does not check in with the check in boat will be marked 15mins late. If you come in early, you will have to go out and check in with the check in boat. There will be NO check in at the trailer or with ANY other tournament worker. Late is Late except for a boat towing in a competitor (you should call and let us know) or a boat who has otherwise rescued any competitor and bringing them in (call only when emergency is over). Note: check in times STILL APPLY to the towed or rescued boat.

Weigh-In Procedure: Due to social spacing requirements (at this time) you will remain IN YOUR BOAT and will be CALLED BY BOAT NUMBER to weigh-in. After you weigh your fish, you SHALL put them back in your livewell, hand your weigh in bags to the tournament worker and take your fish NO LESS than 100 yards beyond the buoy – your coangler can get your truck while you are doing this. Any competitor caught dumping their fish at the ramp will be disqualified. If the social spacing guidelines are otherwise relaxed or removed, we will run a normal weigh in with full tanks and announce it in the morning. The fish release WILL REMAIN the same.

Off Limits: There will be NO locking. Any area marked no fishing or if you are fishing in a marina and you are asked to leave, you will leave that area.

Team Regional 2 concluded today and Congratulations to Charlie Sykes on the angler side and Jeff Miller on the coangler side for finishing on top of the individual standings. The Team side would see Blair Bassmasters go out with a 10 pound lead and finish with a TWENTY FOUR + pound margin over second place AMBA. But the other story of the day would see Clarion County come from a last place start and edge Berks Bassmasters out of pay day by 0.12 pounds anchored by the days Big Fish; 4.24LM caught by Jeff Manross. It also stung a little for Crawford County who would miss their pay day by only 0.36 pounds. Here are the results

Team Regional 2 is off and running on Keuka Lake, NY. Six teams looking for bragging rights while 4 anglers and 4 coanglers hope to punch their ticket for the National Championship Semi Final in September.

Charles Sykes from Susquehanna Valley came out swinging and landed nearly a 16 pound bag anchored by the days Big Fish of 4.66. His weight sends him out in the morning with more than a 3 1/2 pound lead over 2nd place Crawford County angler Eric Marsh. On the coangler side things are a lot tighter and Dave Palko, AMBA, is in the hot seat by 0.32 pounds over fellow club member Jeff Miller. Dave had a 4.26 Big Fish to push him past Jeff. What will the morning bring? In the end though, for Team results it is consistency through the team members and that wins it. Blair Bassmasters owns the top spot after today a little more than 9 pounds in front of AMBA and Berks Bassmasters, a team from District 1 trying to steal the brass ring. Are they going to do both Regionals? Anyway, here are the results of day 1
