It was a pretty awesome day at Honeoye. It’s fun sitting at the scales all day and watching everyone scramble in with fish; having no idea what everyone else has weighed.

There were definitely some unexpected envelopes handed out today!

Congratulations to Kevin Steinruck and Chris Steinruck on earning top prize with the heaviest cumulative weight (5 fish) of 13.98 lbs.

We appreciate everyone coming out and are grateful that we were able to make this event happen again.

Congrats to all the teams who cashed on an hourly fish!!

Thank you to Doc’s Tackle for hosting the awards and providing pizza for all of the anglers!!!

🚨🚨 CRAZY CASH UPDATE 🚨🚨

We currently have 14 boats for Crazy Cash on Saturday. If registration holds at 14 the payouts will be as follows:

$470 per hour for biggest fish
$230 per hour for 2nd biggest fish
$1400 for biggest bag

I have contacted everyone registered and all still want to fish. I suppose having a smaller field to compete against is a bonus.

I will leave registration open on our website until 5:00 pm Thursday. Hopefully we get a few more, but at this point we are a GO for Saturday at Honeoye.

$1,000 for big fish each hour

Free lunch at The Valley Inn at Honeoye Lake sponsored by Doc’s Tackle.

Strong gusty winds and heavy downpours made for a wet and saucy day on Cayuga yesterday…but guys still caught ‘em. They always do!!
Congratulations to Alex Korol and Cam Alldredge on scooping up the W with a 26.76 lb bag. Zach Cappon and Tyler Vanderbilt took Lunker with a 6.53 lb green donkey.

Thank you to everyone who came out and braved the elements. I will have the points standings posted soon.
