Hi All

Well it is time once again to get out for some great pike fishing action. The Niagara Bassmasters are holding their 6th annual live release Pike Tournament. This is a fun event that is also a fundraiser for the Niagara Bassmasters club. The money raised at this event helps the club put on events such as the Annual Casting Kids Contest, which is held at the outdoors show, as well it helps put together the Help a Child Smile charity bass tournament held each September.

Here are the particulars for the event. If you contact me I can email you a copy of the complete rules or answer any questions you have. If not each competing team will receive a copy of the rules at registration.

Pay-outs: 1st=$450, 2nd=$270, 3rd $181, BIG Pike=$100 (Based on FULL Field)

This is a live release event; please ensure that your boat has a livewell or a homemade devise that can safely hold the fish until they can be measured and released. Stringers will not be accepted.

Due to the limited space, the tournament will be limited to 25 teams. Registration is a first come first serve basis.

If you like you can pre-register by sending me your team info to the email below.
