The fourth tournament of the 2025 season was held on Onondaga Lake on July 27. We dodged rainstorms but fortunately the predicted thunderstorms didn't materialize. Fishing was excellent with 18 of the 22 boats bringing a five-fish limit to the weigh-in. Onondaga Lake continued to give up impressive bags of fish; there were five 20+ pound bags, and the 98 fish weighed in had an average weight of 3.71 pounds, with five fish over 5 pounds. The team of Bo and Tom DeMarco won with 22.65 lb.

The next tournament will be on Cayuga Lake, August 3. IMPORTANT - we will be launching from Long Point State park, NOT our usual launch site.
