Sodus Bay
August 25th, 2013
The late sunrise over the launch reminds us that fall is in the air. The chilly conditions this morning certainly reminded us of that. Temperatures in the low 50s made it feel more like fall than late August.

Early morning fog on the water due to the cool air temps and warm water
Throughout the day, temperatures quickly rose and were close to 80 by weigh in. To assure safety to all anglers participating, we waited to launch at 6:30am when the sun peeked over the horizon. Everyone was due back at 1:30pm to start with the weigh-ins.
John Woods makes his way to the weigh-in after 7 hours on Sodus Bay.
One of the first anglers to weigh in was JJ. Here he shows us two of his best bass he caught.

Fred Blom was the next angler to weigh in. Here he shows us two very nice largemouth bass.
Just out of the money was Joe Valerio. We would like to thank Bass Pro Shop of Auburn for their donation to our club for just out of the money.
In 5th place was Jack Wilson with 13.32lbs
In 4th place was Fred Blom with 14.66lbs
In 3rd place was Ron V with 14.93lbs
TJ Church takes home the 2nd place prize with a weight of 15.80lbs
TJ also won big bass of the tournament with a 4.21lbs large mouth. We would like to thank Bass Pro Shop in Auburn for donating the prize for big bass.
At the top of the leader board today was JJ Elmer with 16.49lbs. How did JJ do it, you might ask? After we launched, JJ went out on Lake Ontario and drop shot in 25 feet of water. He later ran back into Sodus bay and continued to fish a wacky rigged green pumpkin drop shot in about 11 feet of water. Great job JJ, and congratulations.
