NNY II Tournament Results for Butterfield Lake

Sunny to partly cloudy sky, water temp 76.3

We had 25 Anglers fish today and very few limits were caught. Most guys reported catching their fish on Senkos, Jig & Pig or spinnerbaits.

Boats waiting to trailer for the weigh-in


When the final fish was weighed Mike O'Hearn took first place with a monster 17.55 lb. limit of LMB anchored by the Lunker of the day that went 5.62 lbs. and O'Hearn reports throwing a Jig & Pig all day long.


Mike OHearn's lunker from his 17.55 lb. winning limit


Brad Paradise took 2nd place with a solid limit weighing 12.04 lbs. since I was recording the weights I didn't get a lot of time to ask Brad what he caught his fish on

I took 3rd place with a weight of 11.13 lbs. My big fish went 4.03 lbs and she came on 1/8 oz black & blue bitsy bug, the rest of my limit and four cull fish all came flipping a chigger craw into mats in 2-4 ft. I used 50 lb Power Pro braid, 1/2 oz. weight and 3/0 EGW Superline hook and my Dobyns 705C rod. That rod really helped me get those fish out of heavy cover. Now grant it my fish weren't the biggest, but they were nestled up tight under the mats and the backbone of that rod can move a fish in a hurry when you need to.

I tried to get a good kicker, but I just couldn’t get a big fish like I found on Thursday after work.

All- in- all a double tough day with other limits weights around 9 - 7 lbs. and then multiple three or two fish to one or none weighed.

Chris Flint took the day's mega mini with this feisty rat that pulled the scales to 0.96 lbs.

nice wish i was there. i know they changed this tourny from chaumont bay cause how rough it was last sat in our team tourny, but ofcourse it was flat all day today

Ricky -

There was no change to our schedule, this event has been on the list from the begining of the season.

Don't forget our Club website has two sections.

1) The homepage that lists particulars about the team trail series

http://www.northernnybassmastersclub...com/index.html


and

2) On the left hand toolbar is the link to the Federated Club (our draw tournament trail)

http://www.northernnybassmastersclub...ratedclub.html


Now if we can just convince you to fish someplace other than Chaumont Bay, you'd probably see us more often.

Now you know I had to break your chops a bit there... seriously though, you ought to come check us out.

I talked with Jim Moore and we're averaging around 25 boats for each trail so we're a strong trail series with good support.

Great bunch of guys and we do have a good time.

I still haven't been able to fish one of our team events, but I can fit them in I plan to fish a couple of them this year.

Hope to see you out there.
