For Immediate Release:
The St.Catharines Bassmasters are proud to announce that Canadian Tire will be back as the title sponsor for 2017 Canadian Tire Lake Erie Open.
The tournament date is now set for Saturday October 7th, 2017. Canadian Tire is dedicated to keeping this as a tournament for the anglers, so the $220 entry fee will remain unchanged along with the maximum of 75 boats for the 2017 event.
With the world class fishery that Lake Erie and the Upper Niagara River have to offer, we anticipate another full field in 2017 with great paybacks and unique incentives offered to competing anglers. Many teams were on an entry waiting list in 2016, so we encourage ALL teams to get registered asap.
