On a cold, windy, rain
filled day the Southern Tier Bassmasters held
their final open of the 2011 season, sponsored
by Good Drywall and Construction, Saturday October
15, 2001 on Conesus Lake. Eleven teams took to
the water determined to show Mother Nature that
her hint of the winter to come didn’t discourage
their burning desire to prove that they could
withstand it and win. Nine teams lasted the whole
tournament and as it turned out the five top teams
had good bags for any kind of weather, ranging
down to 15.93pounds for 5th place.
Leading the pack was the
team of Dan Worczak and Jeff Kilbury with a limit
that crushed the closest competitors by nearly
4 pounds, tipping the scales at a whopping 22.34
pounds. The limit was anchored by a 5.08 pound
smallmouth that qualified for the tournament lunker.
The team received winner’s plaques and split
$302.50
Rich Johnson, fishing alone,
weighed in a limit totaling 16.52 pound to take
second place and $121. Alex Kolody, also fishing
alone, took third place and $60.50 with 16.33
pounds.
Thanks to all who participated
in the Southern Tier Bassmasters 2011 season.
Have a safe and enjoyable off season. See you
on the water in 2012.
