[mostlymuskies]

Bassmaster Northern Open Tournament coming to Buffalo August 20-22, 2026.

 

 

 

We are in the final stages of finalizing the event.

 

 

 

Observer Boats and Camera boats have been secured.

 

Tournament check in/ boat check and registration will happen on 8/19, from 2PM-3PM at Bison City Rod & Gun Club, and Buffalo Rowing Club right next door. 

 

Current Field is 187 competitors, so far.  There may be a few more added this week.

 

 

 

Competitors will be launching from Safe Harbor Marina, the former Small Boat Harbor.  Weigh-in will happen there as well.

 

This is a 3-day tournament, with the first 2 days fishing the full field.  Last day Saturday will cut the field down to the top 10.

 

They will be fishing NY and Ontario waters ONLY, Lake Erie AND Upper Niagara River!  I lobbied for adding the river, as to assure they can fish the full 3 days.  Ifthe lake is blown up, they’ve still got the River, with the no go zone the same as the end of boating boundary just north of the north Grand Island Bridge.
