The Art and Nate VanSteenburg Memorial Classic was held October 19-20. The first day was on Otsego Lake and the second day was on Canadarago Lake. Both days started cold, but warmed up to give us two days of excellent weather, and pretty good fishing. Nineteen teams competed and most had a limit on the first day. The second day was a bit tougher, with only about half managing a five-fish limit. The tournament was won by Josh Shaffer, fishing alone, with 10 fish weighing 33.67 lb. Bill Smith, also fishing alone, finished second just 0.32 lb behind Josh.
