Ken Lamb and Stephen Stroz Win at Whitehall

The final Mass Bass Federation Youth Tournament of the year took place on July 19th at Whitehall Reservoir in Hopkinton.  There were 8 Junior Division anglers and 13 Senior Division anglers competing in the last tournament.  There was a lot at stake for some anglers with a trip to the Jr Nationals for the point’s winners in each division.   The weather cooperated and gave the anglers a nice day to fish on a body of water that is weedy and full of bass.

Matt Hobson and Dan Dowrowski Win at Long Pond, Lakeville.

 

There was great weather for the second Mass Bass Federation Youth Trail Tournament held on Long Pond in Lakeville.  Long Pond is tough for any adult club to find good weighs, but these young anglers did a great job by bringing in some great bags of fish.  I would like to first thank the Federation Youth Sponsor Reynolds Boats for their support for our Youth events.  Other thanks goes out to all the boat captains that gave up a beautiful Saturday to come out and take these young anglers out fishing.   Without the support of the Federation members and sponsors these events just cannot happen.

Burns and Miller Win Federation Team Trail on Barton’s Cove

Bruce Burns and Dave Miller

Bruce Burns and Dave Miller

The weather was great for the Federation June Father’s Day tournament on Barton’s Cove.  Barton’s Cove has been the place of some great weigh-ins.  This section of the Connecticut River is known for big bags of Smallmouths and Largemouths.  But there were no huge bags as we have seen in the past.  Due to heavy rain up north the river was high and running hard all day.  There is always someone that figures out what the fish are doing and how to catch them.  That was exactly what the Team of Bruce Burns and Dave Miller did.  The team of Burns and Miller weighed in 14.87 pounds of Largemouths.  It was an impressive bag for the conditions of the day.  Bruce and Dave won $1210 for the win.  I believe it is their first Federation Trail win.  Congratulations to this team of anglers.

The Smallmouths were starting to spawn and those that did their homework were rewarded.  The team of Bob Rivet and Paul Carvalho had an impressive bag of brown fish weighing 22.35 lb.  They also had a 3.48 lbs Smallie which took the lunker pool.
