St. Lawrence International Junior Carp Tournament enjoys another successful year

Posted

To the Editor:

On behalf of the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce and CAG (Carp Anglers Group), we heartily thank everyone who made the 13th Annual St. Lawrence International Junior Carp Tournament such a success.

That includes the anglers, their families, friends, and sponsors; our volunteers, marshals, Grand Marshal Lindsey Remington, ham radio operators from ARES/RACES, CAG members, local media, and everyone who helped during the Aug. 20 to 22 tournament.

A good time was had by all (even the carp — it’s a catch-and-release tournament!) As always, the boys and girls impressed us with their sportsmanship, enthusiasm for carp angling and love of the St. Lawrence River.

Major sponsors for the 2015 tournament include Akwesasne Mohawk Casino, Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, Mort Backus & Sons, and Pepsi-Cola Ogdensburg Bottlers, along with ARES / RACES, Big Carp Tackle, Cape Air, CAG, Casella Waste, Coach’s Corner Bar & Grill, Great Northern Printing, Kunoco IGA, Mike’s Trophies, North Country Savings Bank, Slic Network Solutions, Stewarts Shops, Time Warner Cable, St. Lawrence NYSARC, Waddington Chamber of Commerce, Wild Carp Companies, One on Baits, City of Ogdensburg, Fort la Presentation, Madrid-Waddington Central School, New York Power Authority, Ogdensburg Bridge & Port Authority, Tom and Christy Snider, Town of Louisville, Town of Waddington, Village of Waddington, Horsefeathers Haunts, Howland Pump & Supply, Inc., Save-a-Lot, Twin Bridges/Jrecks, Buster’s Sports Bar, SeaComm FCU, Massena Savings & Loan, NNY Outdoor Magazine, Potsdam Specialty Paper, Michelle Quinell-Gayle, and Brenda LaBrake. Thank you for your vital support of this annual tournament and young anglers.

After creating and hosting the St. Lawrence International Junior Carp Tournament for more than a decade, the St. Lawrence County Chamber is handing the reins of the event over to CAG, which has as part of its mission the promotion of carp fishing to the next generation.

It’s a perfect fit for this iconic event. We’ll see you on the river next August!
