Bassnajr reply :

Hey folks....

I know we have some folks coming to LBH's Cast for Kids tournament in April which is great, but I noticed that the Central guys are having there 2nd annual get together tounament. Do the members from the Notheast have a similar tourney?

PA is 4.5 hrs from Hartford

hjerk24 reply :

Not the worlds greatest place to fish, nice, but trolling motor only. Kinda takes away from the 'vroooooom" factor.

Would like to see a Chesapeake, or Potomac, or Oneida, even better, Champlain Tourney!

SWEET!!!!!

RobbyZ5001 reply :

Mauch chunk has some good fish. It is basically somewhere we can go and be guarenteed to catch 10-15 fish.

hjerk24 reply :

Fished there last year hard all day, and believe me, there was not one fish that was weighed in for the tourney. We caught fish, but all dinks. Had decent fisherman, as well, an still no one weighed a fish. Hear me correctly, nice place to fish, but a weigh in with 8-10 boats with no fish was not too exciting. Would make the trip though, to meet up with guys here.

Not a hater here, just recollecting a trip that yeilded not many "longer fish"

Peace!

That's appreciated, most don't like to tell it like it is but I'm sure Muddy will tell you he's had a couple days there that weren't the easiest. Every lake has it's good days and it's bad, keep yourself in good company while you're there and a good time will be had by all.

Zel... reply :

I've fished Mauch Chunk for many years. I would tend to agree with hjerk24 that it is not a lake I would recommend for a tournament. But I believe the deal at Mauch Chunk is more of a get-together, for fellowship, good natured ribbing, and catching a few in-between... not a tournament. It is under the big bass lake program in PA, and the minimum size for keeping bass is 15 (and only a limit of 4), so you tend to catch more in the 10-14 range. Being electric-only, it is a good lake for those with smaller boats powered only with a trolling motor, or even just oars. And I have no problem fishing it with my 18.5ft Fish-n-Ski. On average, I'll catch about 7-10 bass in a 4 hour period, but maybe only one will be over the 15 minimum. And I've found on the days when its tough, and you get skunked, the night bite will be awesome. If you're looking to hold a northeast tournament, go with hjerk24's recommendations, but if you're looking for just a friendly get-together, Mauch Chunk is a pretty good choice (but no alcohol allowed to be consumed in the park). Also, if some want a larger lake (unlimited HP) to tackle while there, Beltzville Lake is only about 15 minutes away. You'll catch more smallmouth there than largemouth, but that lake is feast or famine in my opinion. We locals affectionately refer to it as the Dead Sea. It's also got stripers, walleye, musky, perch, cats, trout, and a few others.

I tried getting that going but not enough interest.

hjerk24 reply :

I hope all caught my "connecting with others" portion of my post. Count me in for the tourney.

RobbyZ5001 reply :

Yeh I live right next to Beltzville and minutes from Mauch Chunk. I have fished both all my life. At Mauch Chunk the majority are what Zel said 12-14". Beltzville I would say %80 of the fish I catch are keeper size. Beltzville is a very hard lake if you dont know it well.

ZEN BASSIN reply :

I say we get a tourney going in May for Law enforcement Memorial week either in RI, CT, MA or NH. seeing that it would most likely be the first of its kind around these parts, I think.

Great Idea Not much time to organize it though. I would be glad to help

with it for next year.

Tin reply :

Why not Sacandaga in September. 8-)

John that is the perfect avatar for you. ;D

ZEN BASSIN reply :

Sounds like we have a mission which involves a road trip?

RobbyZ5001 reply :

Muddy I agree with you 100%. I would also rather put 10-20 fish in the boat in a fun setting. Mauch Chunk is a great time and everyone will have a blast. One piece of advice is have all your legalities in order such as life jackets, lights, and whatever else (the authorities are strict and WILL be watching).

Bass Hole reply :

Here's some Info you guys might not know about Great Sacandaga Lake. Last years Eastern Divisional was held there and the fishing is unbelievable it would be the absolute best place to have a get together that's not for competition the amount of fish you could catch in a day is almost unbeatable I have been there in July,august and September and the fishing is equally good any of those times, Just for you to compare here are all the divisions from 2007 so you can judge for you self's

In order of weight for the division

Eastern

72 Anglers 2023.56 1st place team 363 last place team 301

Southern

84 Anglers 1337.56 1st place team 243.12

Mid Atlantic

84 Anglers 1219.92 1st place team 254.01

Northern

84 anglers 1015.29 1st place team 201.05

Central

96 Anglers 910.69 1st place team 173.15

the only thing about September is that the water level is low. But it dosen't effect the fishing.

Bass Hole reply :

I was not trying to plan a competition I thought you guys were looking for a good place were everyone would catch a ton of fish. Not trying to rain on your parade. I must be to new to give input on this board Sorry. I'll say no more :-X

First of all I posted in a tread called Bassresource Northeast tournament...has it been done before?? Not Bassresource Pennsylvania tournament...has it been done before??

That being said Judging buy your use of all caps it seams you are upset

we'll thats your problem I was just giving another option on a good place to fish.

Now allow me to answer your question with another. Why would a gathering of guys who live in the northeast be held in pennsylvania on a 330 acre pond were thy might not even catch fish and can't even crack a cold one?

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

oh chill, both of you, just a dumb mis communication. The Pa event is somewhat local, not really a Northeast (which would imply representation from all NE states) So, the RI get together BH is thinking about is kind of the same thing, local.

So drop it and move on ladies (I know you both well enough to say that,lol)

Tin reply :

We could always settle this the old fashion way, RI vs. PA.... I think the Hudson is considered neutral turf. ;D

Bass Hole reply :

I hope you all have a good time at your get together good luck with it.

Perfect Hook Set reply :

Candlewood Lake

Smallmouth

Largemouth

and plenty of spots for people to catch 'em

VALID qUESTIONS THAT DESERVE VALID ANSWERS;

1. yOU REFERERENCED THE TRIP AND THE OHER THREAD IN YOUR POST

No I didn't

2. 4 OF US KEEP BOATS THERE, AND HAVE MET AND OR FISHED THERE ALREADY

Isn't this what you said to me in one of your replys? PS i would watch going to a place that is somebody's home court. You see I am from NY also Brooklyn New York, remember never play cards with somebodys else's deck, on a glass top table

3. SOME OF THE PA GUYS MET THIS WINTER AT CABELAS IN HAMBURG PA, DISCUSSED THIS AND BRUCE AND I WENT THROUGH THE TROUBLE OF FINDING OUT CABIN AVAIABILITY ETC... AND WE WERE ASKED TO WIT TILL THE GVILLE TRIP WAS OVER TO POST THE PROPOSED WEEKEND

OK

4. SPEEDBEQAD REALLY WANTS TO EXPERIENCE THE NIGHT BITE THERE, WHICH IAWESOME BY ANYONES ACCOUTN

I hope it works out for him

5. THE THREE FELLAS PUTTING A LOT OF WORK DO NOT DRINK, WE HAVE ASKED THE OTHERS TO GO ALONG WITH THIS AND THEY AGREED

Again OK

6. I LOVE MY 339 ACRE POND

I'm Sure you do

One more time I am not trying to rain on your parade I was just trying to give some in put on a good lake for a North East get together not your PA get together since I never read, that thread.

"Sorry Russ it just wasn't sitting well with me"

RobbyZ5001 reply :

Why don't we move this to a moose hunt in Maine instead? Forget this fishing nonsense lets go hunting!

Just a note: You can't get a permit for a tourny in PA until opening day in June. How are those other states????

RobbyZ5001 reply :

You can just "go fishing" and have a paper tournament. The only thing you could get in trouble for then is fishing beds.

Bassnajr reply :

As the originator of this thread, I have one thing to say.............

I'm sorry I asked !!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
