Next meeting September 3, 2025 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!



Kilbury "kills" it on Seneca lake.

Geneva, NY, August 30, 2025 - Launching out of Seneca Lake State Park, the Southern Tier Bassmasters dropped into the canal and Seneca Lake for their 3rd points tournament of the season. There is only one event remaining for the coveted Angler of the Year award.

Jeff Kilbury showed us what is possible on the lake with his five-fish limit weighing in at 19.01 lbs. with a kicker fish at 4.65 lbs. Kilbury seems to have a lock on that lake, winning most, if not all of our tournaments, when we go there. Good job and congratulations!

Finishing in second place was Michael Laursen with his limit of bass tipping the scales at 16.31 lbs. His anchor fish weighed a very respectable 4.65 lbs.

Third place went to president Kevin Kuhn. His sack went for 14.94 lbs. Kuhn also took lunker honors with a specimen registering 5.32 lbs.

Rounding out the top four places was Tyler McClurg with a limit of bass checking in at 13.40 lbs. Tyler has been on a tear this season and is currently leading the AOY race. Way to go, Tyler!

Congratulations to all the winners!

Our next event is our final points event on the upper Niagara River on September 20, 2025.
