Over 21.00
lbs. needed to take win at Quinte Fishing Series event!
The first one day bass
tournament of the 2010 season occurred at the George St. ramps on Sunday,
July 18th. Another full field of 75 boats left George St. in
two flights at 7:00 and 7:20 a.m. under clear skies and light winds. With
this event being a large and/or smallmouth bass tournament, a number of
teams were planning to make the run to “the lake” in search of big smallies
but the weather, mainly the wind, was suppose to increase as the day went on
which could make for a tougher ride home in the afternoon.
At the 4:00 and 4:30
p.m. check in times, the wind had indeed increased and early teams weighing
in that had made long runs stated that it was a tough ride back to the
tournament site. Early leading weights were in the 17 lb. range but when
all teams finished weighing in, the brothers Papiest, Ralph and Tom, took
the title with a great weight of smallies of 21.20 lbs! These long time
anglers, who love to fish smallmouth’s, took home a cheque for $3,600.00
plus two gift bags compliments of Mark’s Work Warehouse and a $50.00 gift
certificate from Kelsey’s/Montana’s, Belleville. They also received a 1500
yard spool of Power Pro fishing line compliments of Shimano Canada for using
this product over the course of the day. “We used mainly soft plastic baits
and probably caught around 17-18 fish in total”, stated Ralph. “Our family
has a cottage in Wellington, so we got a look at the weather when we got up
this morning and decided to make the run to “big water”, added Tom.
With another consistent
tournament weight, Darcy and Ben Asselstine claimed the second place spot
with a great largemouth bag weighing in at 20.50 lbs. These young but
talented anglers took home $2,600.00 for their efforts and also showed the
rest of the field that you can do very well fishing for largemouths!
Elginburg’s Bruce Tufts and Lee Sprague from Kingston took the third place
position with 20.25 lbs. and received a cheque for $1,600.00 and in fourth
place with 19.65 lbs. were last tournaments winners, Jay Martin and Brad
Arnott. These two anglers from Oshawa took home $1,000.00 for their
efforts.
Trenton’s Jamie Coe and
Jamie Fudge, although finishing in the fifth spot, had a great day! These
local anglers weighed in 17.95 lbs. and received $700.00 for their fifth
place finish but they also had “big fish” for the day – a largemouth of 5.25
lbs! For that, they also took home $1,500.00 in cash, Big Fish plaque and
two $75.00 gift certificates from Canadian Tire, Belleville. Because these
anglers were also fishing out of a smaller boat/motor, they also took home
an additional $175.00 as the top team in the 115 H.P. and Under division.
They also took home a 1500 yard spool of Power Pro line compliments of
Shimano Canada for using this product during the day – all in all, not a
bad day!!
Belleville and Toronto’s
Mat Seeley and Scott Palmer with 17.65 lbs. took home $500.00 for sixth
place and local’s Danny Elliot and Ed Bunnett in seventh received $400.00
for their weight of 16.75 lbs. Eighth place went to Toronto’s Colin
Hunter and Jason Christie with 16.65 lbs. and they took home $250.00.
$175.00 each went to the final two teams with Campbellford’s Tom Brooke and
partner Dan Crawford from Lakefield weighing in 16.60 lbs. and weighing in
16.45 lbs. were Brampton’s Paul Downer and Richard Campbell from Courtice.
New for 2010, Shimano
Canada has agreed to sponsor a prize, two G. Loomis rods, for the second
largest fish caught at each event. Weighing in a fish at 4.90 lbs, the
Thompson’s, Scott and Bill from Kingston and Napanee took this prize along
with a bag of fishing lures/baits compliments of the Belleville and District
Fish and Game Club.
Also new for 2010, Bay
Marine on Hwy. 2 are offering a draw prize called, “Back at Ya at Bay”.
At each tournament this season, one team will receive their entry fee back
and the winners on Sunday were the father/son team of Dean and Bart Thompson
from the Napanee area. Drop in to Bay Marine and talk to Casey and see
their new line of Ranger Boats!
The final draw for the
day was also a new prize for the 2010 season. Karol Marshman of Marshman
Jewellers and the T.A.D. Group-Sports Marketing, Robert Coolahan are
offering a three night, four day Caribbean Cruise to one lucky team(for four
people)! The Series will also provide an additional $500.00 to cover other
expenses. At each tournament this year, one team’s name will be drawn and
at the Quinte Classic, the six teams names will be put in a hat and a winner
will be drawn. Getting their chance at this great prize from this event
was team number 7, Mike Lukashal from Carrying Place and Cory Kinmond from
Brighton.
“It’s great to see a
full field of 75 boats again for this event and the two tournaments in
August are also filling up too”, stated Pete Thompson, tournament director
for the Series. “It was also great to see a mix of both largemouth and
smallmouth bass weights in the top ten money winners – a testament to the
diversity of this great fishery in and around the Bay”.
Anglers are reminded to
get entries in early for the next two events and anglers must have entries
postmarked at least one week prior to each tournament also.
