This was the first time our club ventured out on the waters of Henderson Harbor, NY. Located off Lake Ontario and only 11 miles west of Rt. 81, we were pleased to fish these waters and have the sponsorship of Westview Lodge and Marina. We were extremely pleased with the lodging, restaurant, and the marina. Our club looks forward to returning to the waters of Henderson Harbor and our friends at Westview.
We launched at the town ramp and then motored over to the Westview Lodge. This is our first of two partners tournament of the year. This allows a weaker angler to partner with a stronger partner, ideas exchanged and it is a great learning opportunity.
We began our tournament in front of the at 6 AM. The weather was excellent, starting air temp. 61 degrees, variable winds 3 – 9 mph NNW to NNE, partially cloudy with temp. reaching 81 deg. by the time we got off the water at 1 PM. The surface water temp. was 73 – 75 deg., waves approx. 1 ft and diminishing to a slight ripple by the time we got off the water
