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 ninth tournament of the 2026 season was held on Onondaga Lake on September 27, sponsored by Apex Pest Solutions. Sixteen teams of two anglers competed on an overcast day with a few rain showers, but not nearly as bad as forecast. Fishing was slow for most, but ten of the teams brought five-fish limits to the scale. The team of Dave Husnay and David Raymond took the win with five largemouths weighing 22.59 lb, including Dave Husnay's lunker of the day weighing 5.5 lb
The race for angler of the year is heating up, with only one more tournament for the season. Last year's winner, Kevin McGibney, is in the lead with155.75 lb. However, the final standings are calculated after dropping each angler's lowest two weights, so it's difficult to predict who will come out on top. We'll see how it shakes out after next week's final tournament of the season, on Otsego Lake.
See results and standings for more details.
The final regular tournament of the season will be held on Otsego Lake on October 4, launching at 7 a.m.
Winners Dave Husnay and David Raymond
