Well, MCA has just wrapped up the 2014 season with a bang! Our classic was held at Cayuga Lake this past weekend & we had beautiful weather, good fishing, & a good time was had by all.

 Derek Severns won the tightly contested event with ounces seperating 1st & 2nd place. Dave Solties had 1st & 2nd day lunker capped off by a 6.12 gi gi gi giant bass!!

 Derek is also the 2014 club AOY,  which makes him the 1st member to win both events in the same year, a feat that he accomplished 2 years ago also - what a great run!

 Special thanks goes out to Mike Stefan, Dan Mincin and Andy Erjavek who brought the food & were the camp cooks for the event, without this kind of help, MCA could not enjoy the weekend that we just had!

The 2014 Season is wrapped up! Only the classic at Cayuga is to come.  2014 AOY is Derek Severns.  The Points, Totals Page and your 2014 Top Ten page is all updated under the results tab.
