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 sixth tournament of the 2026 season was held on Otisco Lake on August 16. Nineteen teams fished on a warm, sunny day that became challenging toward the end of the tournament because of a strong South wind. Fifteen boats brought in five-fish limits of (mostly) largemouths. The team of Breanna and Josh Shaffer took first place with five fish weighing 16.01 lb, including Josh's big smallmouth of the day at 3.67 lb.
