Southern Tier
Bassmasters was officially "born" on February 11th,
1998. A dedicated group of eleven tournament fishermen and
women decided to start something new in the heart of New York's
southern tier to serve the communities in which we live and
the youth in these communities.
We extend an open invitation for anyone
to join us. A boat and experience are NOT NECESSARY!
Barth
Wins Big on Upper Niagara River
Ted Barth
spent the better part of two weekends scouting
out the Upper Niagara River to prepare for the
Southern Tier Bassmasters third point’s
tournament scheduled for
Saturday
August 14, 2010. Little did he know how big those
efforts would pay off? His limit of 5 smallmouth
bass tipping the scales at 16.69 pounds crushed
the competition. Not only was he in possession
of the tournament’s heaviest weight, his
limit contained the largest, 4.39 pound, and second
largest, 4.34 pound lunker for the tournament.
In all he was .01 pounds shy of a 3 pound lead
over his closest competitor, Mark Bonk and collected
$384.10 in winnings.
Bonk finished the day with
a limit of largemouth weighing in at 13.70 pounds
earning him $136.95. Third place and $80.93 went
to Tim Creighton with 13.63 pounds. Rounding out
the top 4 places was Noel Good weighing in 13.53
pounds of smallmouth bass. His catch was worth
$56.03.
