About the 2007 Tourney:

This year's tourney appeared to be a great success and everyone seemed to have a lot of fun.

We had a full compliment of 35 kayakers and boarded 30 bass (all over 12").

Our 'tag-a-long' - 'live wells' worked well and all fish were released alive.

It seemed that everybody enjoyed the cookout & awards gathering after the tourney (we do apologize for taking soooo long to get the results together - we will address this next year).

Prizes were awarded from the following sponsors:

1st Prize (fly fish category) - largest Bass - 'Drifter Angler' Kayak from 'Ocean Kayak'.

Mark Attardo with a 3lb 3oz winning Bass!

1st Prize (spin category) - largest Bass - 'Featherlite' Kayak from 'Heritage Kayak'.

Tony Scianna weighed in a 3lb 2 oz Bass.

Special Thanks to our 'Weigh-in' boats: 7 roving 'weigh-in' boats were on the water all day. These boats had a yellow flag displayed for identification and used cell phones for contact.

Awards Party:

An Awards party and cookout was held following the Tourney at The Mountain Road Trading Post with dealer representatives from Old Town/Ocean Kayaks and Heritage Kayaks present to answer any questions about the growing sport of kayak fishing.  

Again, thanks to all that contributed and participated, and to Marc Burgoine (our Old Town rep), Chuck Joy (our Heritage rep), and Mike Ivone and David Turcott for cooking and otherwise pitchin' In.
