Next meeting September 9, 2026 on "Zoom", 7:30 pm.

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.

As sportsmen and women, we support the ideals of the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society and the New York State B.A.S.S. Chapter Federation.

We extend an open invitation for anyone to join us. A boat and experience are NOT NECESSARY!



McClurg starts season with a win on Irondequoit Bay

Irondequoit, NY, June 27, 2026 - The Southern Tier Bassmasters opened the points tournament season on Irondequoit Bay with fifteen contestants. Anglers could fish for a five-fish limit of bass, with a minimum length of 12 inches, whereever they could reach by boat.

By the 2 o'clock weigh-in, Tyler McClurg had ammassed a limit of bass weighing in at 14.62 lbs. anchored by the tournament lunker which tipped the scales at 4.39 lbs. With his win, Tyler earned 100 points and is off to a great start in the AOY race. Congratulations, Tyler!

Finishing in second place was Wade McClurg with a 5-fish limit weighing in at 13.37 lbs. Wade's anchor fish weighed in at 3.48 lbs. Apparently, you taught your son a little too well. Good job!

Third place went to Bob Elliott. His limit went for 11.57 lbs. .

Rounding out the top four places was Charles Prince with a limit of bass checking in at 10.65 lbs.

Congratulations to all the winners!

Our next event is our popular Russ Memorial Team Tournament on Conesus lake on Sunday, July 5th. See our tournament page for details.
