Pete Elphinstone Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 We are expecting another great turnout this year. We set a record last year with 42 entries and we are expecting even more this year. This year we have a bunch of extra money donated to the event to open up more paying spots. A new payout spot for this years event is the smallest legal fish weighed in! Also special prizes for hidden weights. This means you might finish second last overall yet walk out with a great hidden weight prize. This event is great fun for everyone involved. Last year we had a number of family teams consisting of spouses, father son and father daughter. A great event for the whole family. We were just donated a custom Maple Leafs print signed by all of the stars in it. More info on this will be posted soon!! Stay tuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Elphinstone Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Hey Guy’s We have had so much more interest going into this year’s event then we have had in the past and it looks like we are going surpass last year’s record turnout of 42 boats by a whole lot more. We are going to have a number of new teams this year so I am just going to post a little bit of info to help out some of the new teams that will be fishing for the first time. The event will be held out of the Greater Niagara Boat Club, this is also where registration will take place. All boats will be launched just up the road at the free public boat launch. Parking at the boat launch is limited but there will be plenty of parking available in the back field of the boat club. If the ramp lot is full have one partner drive the boat up river to the boat club while the other partner drives the truck and trailer to the club. There will be staff onsite to help with parking of trucks and trailers. All boats must go through a boat check which will be done at the launch ramp. All boats must be checked and marked. Registration at the boat club can be done before or after launching of the boat, both partners must sign the registration form. It will be done under the big lights in front of the stage, look for the lineup. A rule sheet will be available at the registration table, it is your responsibility to read and know the rules, if you have any questions please ask before the event. Last year we blasted off at the mouth of Chippawa Creek where it meets the Niagara River. This saved anglers the grueling 15 minute idle out while they could have been fishing. A trickle start blast off will be done at the mouth of the creek at 7am directed by the blast off boat. If you are late getting to the mouth no matter what number you are you will be blasting off at the end of the group. The biggest thing to remember is that this is a great event for a great cause. Come out, have fun, win some prizes and maybe take home a little cash too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Elphinstone Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Hey NFNer’s The Niagara Bassmasters were donated a print valued at $450 to auction off at our charity event with all of the proceeds going directly to the Help a Child Smile Foundation. The print is called "Hockey Fights Cancer", it was painted by a fellow fisherman named Murray Henderson. Murray lost his daughter to cancer in 2009 and has since done a lot in the fishing community to help raise funds for cancer. Because this charity hits close to home for him he donated this print to us to raise money for our event. The print is of a number of hockey’s tough guys, the very cool part is that the print is autographed by 10 of the stars in the print! There was only 100 tickets available for this raffle and we are down to 30 left!! If you want to get in on this raffle you need to contact me ASAP. There will be no holding of tickets and they will be sold on a first come first serve basis. This is the first time they have been made available to anyone that wasn’t fishing or at the charity event. Tickets can be paid for by Paypal, EMT or even cash if you can get it to me. If you are interested send me a PM for more details and I will get right back to you. Tickets are $5.00 each with only 30 tickets remaining!! Sorry having trouble uploading the images. Check out the pictures of the print here http://www.murrayhenderson.com/apps/webstore/products/show/3111976 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
