Pete Elphinstone Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hey Guys This tourney is only a couple days away and the prizes are still coming in. Here is a picture of last years prize tables. The prizes are donated for businesses in and outside of the fishing industry. Do your best to come out and support this great cause. Remember all money raised stays locally to help kids and their families that are fighting cancer through the Help a Child Smile Foundation. If you can't or don't want to fish it come out and support the anglers that are. There will be lots of great raffle prizes available to spectators and anglers as well as great food made at the boat club. So come out and watch the weigh-in and see some of those giant bass that live in the Upper Niagara and Lake Erie. Hope to see you there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A HUGE thank you to everyone that participated in this years event. It was definately a record year for this event & raising $$ for this Charity. Every year this event grows & this year was no different. Unfortunately a number of our yearly regulars were unable to attend this year, or else this year we would have had over 50 teams! Cant wait for next years event and break more records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
