As the final preparations into the Canadian Tire Lake Erie Open come together. With a full 75 team field of some of Ontario best anglers not to mention a waiting list! We are estatic to say the least with the interest shown for this event.
At this time I personally would like to take the time to recognize the two main forces behind the scenes that have made this tournament possible. St.Catharines Bassmasters Tournament Directors Jay Clay and Eric Hill!
My hats off to you both! You have done the club proud!
With the full backing of the St.Catharines Bassmasters, Jay and Eric along with the local Niagara Region Canadian Tire Stores lead by the St.Catharines 4th Ave. location started this journey over a year ago planning this incredible tournament. In that time Jay and Eric have spent countless hours working tremendously hard planning every detail and organizing this event on behalf of the club.
Their dedication to organization and detail deserve nothing but a standing ovation! Thank you both for the work thus far!
To Canadian Tire and sponsors of this event, Anglers from across Ontario, NY State and the volunteering club members. THANK YOU!
None of this could be possible without your trust and support! We hope you enjoy this experience.
As tournament anglers we're all to familiar as to what October and Lake Erie means! Let pray to the wind gods that they be kind enough to let us play and enjoy the big weights Erie has to offer.
See you all next weekend!
