Missdemeanor

The Monroe County Offshore Classic was designed keeping the regular Joe weekend guy in mind.... The entry fee was created to include a donation to a local charity.... Most tournaments do not do this ( healing waters might be the only other one, but I may be wrong). 200 entry is on the low end of all the tournaments on the lake.... When we decided on the initial dollar amount entry, we envisioned at least 3 guys per boat...say 75 bucks per man ( 3) including fuel. Not terrible considering I once paid a 4 person share of 250 each for a West end tourney. As far as ports.... Rochester and Irondequoit bay are the participating ports. Braddocks has not been ruled out as a future port. We are just waiting to see how the dredging is working out ( there were some small issues earlier in the season with accessibility) As far as signing up at the last minute.... I will be around Rochester the Friday before. 5pm is the cut off, however you will have to arrange to meet up with me before then. I explained that with pay pal comes fees.... And In the spirit of the tourney being 100% pay out ( minus the donation) we wanted it to remain as is for this year. Now to the claim about Lake Trout.... Only being able to weigh one laker actually protects the species a little.... No one will be out raking 30-40 Lakers off the bottom if you can only kill one. The 5 fish box allows regular guys and charters to compete. Catching 5 fish usually isn't a problem for most..especially this year. Last year there were people at the weigh in that took unwanted fish... I get people will be reluctant to enter tournaments.... In fact anyone who,knows me will tell you I'm not a big tourney guy. What I am is, a guy who is proud of the fishery we are blessed with around Rochester. I'm proud of the diversity we have and I'm tired of the Monroe County area being the least talked about port on the Lake. Good luck to all you guys who are thinking about fishing ANY of the tournaments on the lake. Tight lines boys....Matt Sent from my VS996 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Will be at Shumway Marina and Voyager this evening for anyone who wants to sign up Sent from my VS996 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Ok guys.... The date is approaching fast.... Give me a shout to arrange signing up. This event is lining up to be as good or better than last year. The lower water levels have made for for transient slips available....and what more can be said about the fishing this year!

Nice update from Capt Lucas Faulkner.... He has arranged for Tournament T-shirts to be for sale through Match Play Custom Apparel. A portion of the T Shirt sales will be going to this year's charity Dream Factory. http://shop.matchplaycustomapparel.com/MonroeClassic/shop/home Sent from my VS996 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Buy in is $200 per boat. Of the 200, fifty bucks is taken from each entry and donated to a local charity. This year we are using Dream Factory as our local charity....

[attachment=64067:0304181218.jpg Bought a bunch of pads from Al last week and I got around to putting my stick baits together. All my Bay Rats on one pad works great. The cool thing is, you can see them all, easy to pick out, and easy to store.... I will post more pics as I get my spoons hung.... FYI the pad shown is the original size... Spoons are going on Magnum size. Sent from my VS987 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
