Message on the Federation TOC
By Steve Gibree

To federation anglers

Hi All,

Thanks to everyone that helped this year with the best trail I believe we have ever had. In the past we had as many as 45 boats per tourney but the payouts were just not as good as they are in the current trail. We as a group raised between $400 and $500 dollars per tounement for the state team along with giving out up to $4400 in prizes back to the anglers. In total, close to 30 thousand combined dollars (INCLUDING LUNKER) through the year and you are all to thank and should be proud.

Special thanks to a bunch of people who helped me during the season.  Without help from key volunteers this would be almost impossible.

(not in any order)

  • My partner Mike Tedeschi (being there early /weighing fish)
  • Wayne Robinson (sounding board / scale transportation)
  • Mike Martin (sounding board / advisor)
  • Joel StGermain (Weigh master)
  • Ron Bestwick (live well checks)
  • Tim Rivet (money man / check in)
  • Phil Gebler (Raffles / whatever I asked he helped)
  • Roy Costa (VP / sounding board)
  • Roger Pray (President / sounding board)
  • Jack Marton (sounding board)

On Oct 2nd we had our federation tournament of champions on Beech pond. The day was just picture perfect with a slight amount of fog in the morning and very little wind. The fishing however was not quite as picture perfect but all were on an even playing field. We had a full limit of 15 boats which were the best of a 38 boat field in the 05 season. The team of Ron Larivee and Joe Crotuea won the event with a 4 fish limit weighing 4.88 pounds on this what proved to be a very difficult day of fishing but good for sun tans.

Thanks again and we’ll see you all next year.
Steve Gibree
