The 2nd weekend of the 1812 Shootout kicked off Saturday morning on the fields of Madison Barracks in Sackets Harbor with the girls taking center stage.
Saturday. the club teams were in action with 3rd and 4th grade, 5th and 6th grade, modified and JV teams all taking part.
Some of the best teams from around the state were in action, but unlike years past, a little smaller turnout that usual for the club tournament and organizer Chad Green says there’s a reason for that.
“It’s gonna be a little bit shorter day than we had last weekend. This weekend is a huge weekend for girls’ tournaments around the country, so we have our little niche here in the North Country and we bring in the girls right here from most of New York State,” said Green.
Day 3 of competition is in the books at the 2022 Guaranteed Rate Bassmaster Elite at St. Lawrence River in Clayton and Day 2 leader Jay Przekurat will take his lead into the final day of competition.
Przekurat hauled in 5 fish for 24 pounds 12 ounces, pushing his 3 day total to 77 pounds 1 ounce. It gives him an almost 3 pound lead over Bob Downey heading into the final day of competition.
Przekurat says there’s a reason he’s been so successful so far in the tournament.
”We do a lot of this fishing back home. I fish Sturgeon Bay a lot and that place is almost identical to this place. All the structure is the same, it’s the Great Lakes and I love fishing the Great Lakes and I love catching big smallmouth. I don’t know, I guess I just got the knack for it this week,” said Przekurat.
