Peter Garnier & Brian Gorril
Report From Buffalo New York
Make A Wish Bass Tournament

Fishing for the most part was slow, with few anglers boasting about numbers of fish caught. I believe Brian and I landed nine bass, culling two five pounders resulting in our twobest fish weighing in at 10.98 pounds which was enough to secure a seventh placefinish out of 146 boats. For those who've not been to Erie at this time of year, a typical day on the water results in 30 plus fish. A lot of the local guys, who I know fairly well, have been reporting a pretty slow bite this season. That being said, Brian and I were pretty please with our showing this year. I highly recommend anyone to make the tripto Erie in May; specifically for this phenomenal event which helps support a great
cause - the Make A Wish Foundation of Western New York.All our fish came on MIZMO 4" Big Boy Tubes; Smokey Red was the ticket. We dished the waters out from Meyers, a large main lake point some 9 miles west of Buffalo pretty much all tournament; fewer bites focusing on a bit deeper water than most other competitors(average 30 feet) this weekend, but well worth it boating four fish in five pound class Saturday!
