Happy Labour Day everyone, 😀
Enjoy the sunshine.

2ndly, each team received a ballot to vote for their pick for the Sportmanship Award. Please have these completed in the am and give them to Wes during check in tomorrow morning.
Have a good evening and see you all in the morning.

The Night before Championship Poem.

Twas the night before the Championship and all through the Valley,

Anglers went to bed early as the dawn meant a rally!

Barry and Bill little did they sleep,
as Jimmy and Brian dreamt about a sweep!

Hunter and Alex were sitting quite nicely while Jim and Scott were planning quite wisely.

Tom and the Mike's were looking to strike,
while the rest of the field wondered what it might be like,

To just be able to have 2 great day's and beat the odds and get a chance to stand on the stage!

Just some pre Championship Weekend Fun,
to get you motivated to have a great run!

Now hurry up and get to bed,
for the days will be long on the road ahead!

Good Luck everyone! Day 1 is coming up!

Series Members, stay tuned to FB this week for info regarding our Championship weekend that's coming up!

Without further delay here are our Day 4 results for Old School Championship Bass Series. Day 4 would also see Jim Clouthier and Brian Standing starting the day with a 13 point lead and they simply just needed to weigh in to confirm their spot in the CSFL Classic Sept 12 and 13th on Lake Couchiching, and they not only weighed in they did it convincingly with a 4th Place Finish. Congrats again guys and do us proud!
Day 4 also saw a shake up in the top 3 standings with an impressive day put together by Alex Meringer and Hunter Malone weighing a solid bag and also claiming Big Fish and 5 Bonus points.
As it stands, the top 3 seem to be a lock for the season as they currently sit heading into Championship weekend. 4th Place Jim Rodgers and Scott Amisson along with 2 teams tied for 5th, Tom Durocher (Solo) and Mike Farmer and Mike Maczko will need to have very solid days and find a Big Fish perhaps maybe both days for bonus points to try to scrap their way into the Top 3 and maybe some help needed with not so solid days by the teams sitting 3rd and 2nd. The first weekend in September could be a rumble!

We had an opportunity to get a group photo and we took it. Looks great and thanks to everyone for participating.

We will have updates coming regarding Championship Weekend in the coming days so stay tuned. in the meantime thanks again, Saturday was a grind but was still a decent day on the water! Stay Tuned.....

Hoping to have this past weekends results posted by end of day Tuesday. We apologize for the delay!

Hey everyone, and welcome back after our mid summer break and prior to Day 4 Saturday in Mackey. As a reminder we are using the Mackey Creek Launch. The washrooms there are currently not in use, so just FYI. Also, there is a campground directly across from the launch and we know how sound carries across water so please be respectful in the morning and use your quiet voice.
Ahead of the morning brief just wanted to remind everyone that we have strict boundaries for this event.
As follows:
All Quebec Tributaries, Creeks and Rivers are Off Limits. You may fish the mouths of these but you cannot proceed up them for any reason. There will be zero tolerance if caught going up any water way on the Quebec side.
On the Ontario side we will use Hwy 17 as the max limit you may travel up any creek, river etc.
In terms of the Ottawa River you may run from Dam to Dam
(Swisha to Mattawa). So lots of water to play on. Remember to be careful and mind your navigation. There are unmarked hazards plus floating debris. Some unmarked Hazards were already found during practice by some of our members. Pay attention to your Charts and if you don't know, proceed with Caution.
There is a NO WAKE Zone right at the boat launch and continues up to the first corner of the creek - Again we have zero tolerance for disobeying a No Wake Zone. Please idle out and in when around this area. Signs are posted!
Blast off will be out on the main river, remember that every boat must pass through the Blast off boats, not around them and please do not wash our boats, make sure you are completely past us prior to taking off - We Thank you for this.
Remember to factor in that you need to launch and make it out to the main river by 650am so if you need to arrive a few mins early then please do so.
Any team not attending Saturday please let us know in advance as well.
See you all Saturday Morning,
