Lake Neatahwanta Sunday, June 3rd 2007 Sponsored by
This small lake is just outside of Fulton NY. Average depth of around 6 feet, with the deepest part just over 12 foot.
Good Ole Boys Group Photo This was our first points tournament for 2007. As a club we are trying something new. We did a paper for points along with a hole tournament. This required all fish that were caught to be measured, length recorded, and the fish immediate released. At the weigh in everyone entered their 5 longest fish and points were awarded by inches.
Dave Donhauser and Garrett Kinney getting ready to fish If you check the tournament standings you will find them listed by weights. How we did this was by taking the inches and converting them to pounds by using the NYS DEC "weigh your fish with a ruler" web page.
Don Crofoot with a 16 inch bass before release Because we had 13 boats, the lake was divided into 13 holes. Boaters drew a starting hole number. They would start there and fish the allotted time (32 mins.). The tournament director would blow a horn and the boats would advance to the next hole until all fishing holes were fished.

Jack Loughery and Jack Wilson working the shoreline. The lake was calm until 11 AM and then a light south west breeze came up. This lake is very similar to the impoundments of the south. Shallow and stained water. A good practice lake for anyone thinking of playing with the big boys down south.
Chad Acome and Brooks Wright (Ask Chad about his yellow ribbon) We noticed that Santa must have been good to some members of the club as new Nitro boats showed up on the tournament scene.

How did Chris do it.
Chris worked the arrow head weeds along the shore line using a white spinner bait with Colorado blades. He changed back and forth also using a white Venom tube, a # 3/0 Mustad hook, and a tru-tungsten weight. Something white was the answer for today.
