Rags Dropping Bombs on ’em
Lake Oscawana

On Sat Sept 15th “Big Joe” Raguzin won the WBM tournament on Lake Oscawana. It was Joe's first win in several years and he did it in convincing fashion culling 3 times and weighing in his limit of 12.10 lbs. After catching his first 4 bass, Rags had a long dry spell trying different baits at different locations but late in the day found a school of bass in weed-bed and not only filled out his limit but culled up 3 times. Joe also had the day’s lunker, a 2.92 lb largemouth. Fishing out of the back of Gary's boat, Joe fished soft plastics saying the key was a very light slip sinker rigged Texas style.
Joe is on hot streak and after a 4th place finish in the last NY Federation tournament on Cayuga Lake currently sits in 2nd place on the non-boater side of the standings. Good luck to Joey in the Fed's final points tournament on Oneida Lake this weekend.
Second place went to steady Bryan Gudd with his 5 fish limit weighing in at 8.18 lbs. Bryan utilized a drop-shot presentation to catch his largemouth bass.
Finishing in 3rd place was Gary Menchen using plastic worms & jigs and rounding out the top 5 were Rick “Cowboy” Faubert & Jordon Doucette.
With three more club tournaments remaining in the 2018 season Doucette still holds a substantial lead. over Rick Faubert in the WBM AOY race. See you all Oct 7th on the Mohawk River.
