The club was formed in 1987, and fishes regular bass tournaments every week or two from June through the end of October. We fish in two-person teams, usually with a five-fish limit.

The seventh tournament of the 2026 season was held on Cayuga Lake on August 30. Twenty two teams fished on an overcast day with a few rain showers. Fishing was great for some, not so great for others! Remarkably, there were seven five-fish limits over 20 pounds, including a new club record of 28.75 lb caught by the first-place team of Colin Nabinger and Joe Bunzey. Colin's 7.44 lb largemouth was the biggest caught in one of our tournaments in more than 20 years, and Dean Raymond caught a 5.19 lb smallmouth that is a new club record.
See results and standings for more details.
The next club tournament will be held on Canadarago Lake on September 13, launching at 7 a.m.
