    Chester County Bass Masters held their 4th of five Points Opens for the 2022 season on September 24th out of Anchor Marine in Northeast Maryland.

    52 Teams showed up on a cool early Autumn Saturday in search of a 5 fish limit of Upper Bay black bass.

    The largemouth were in early fall transition pattern, water temps the last couple weeks have been dropping with the bite being unpredictable for the most part..
    The field was full of the best Upper Chesapeake Bay fisherman the 5 state area has to offer.

    A rainy/windy cold front moved thru the area Thursday into early Friday dropping night temps into the high 40's
    Wind was calm for tournament morning.
    Air temps at launch were around 48 to 50.

    The tournament launched at 6:30 under partly cloudy, cool skies with a forecast high of 70.
    Water temps were in the 67 -72 degree range depending on where you fished. Water color was fairly dirty/stained from the rain in most areas.
    Launch was on a falling tide with low tide having been 4:00 am. and high around 10:15 am.
    Six flights went out with the first flight due back at 2:30 and each additional flight of 10 boats due back ten minutes apart.

    --------------------------------------
    20 five fish limits were brought in.
    9 teams had 4 fish
    11 bass over 4 pounds were weighed in.
    2 bass over 5 pounds were weighed in.


    6 cash places were paid, along with 21 sponsor prizes from Susquehanna Tackle, Rhino linings of Delaware, Dobyns Rods, Zee Bait Company, Steak & Main Restaurant, Eastern Marine of Newark, Nichols Lures, 13 Fishing, Cabelas - Pauls Plastering, Buff USA, Pro-Tec Boat Care Products, Harmony Fishing Tackle, Bass Pro Shops, Boomerang Tools, Smallmouth Crush, Hayabusa Hooks, Native Tungsten Weights, Hi Seas Line, Bass Cat, Simms, Venom Lures, Trailer Parts Superstore of Newark, Upper Bay outdoors, Buck Brook Alpacas, Black Rifle Coffee Company and Accu-Cull.

    First place cash payout and championship plaques went to a team that has won a few times over the years at our Opens. They are no strangers to winning on the Upper Bay in the Fall and are always a threat for a top 10 finish in any tournament they enter.

    Mike Piccolo and Scott McAnulty pulled off the win on a day the bite was tough for a lot of the anglers and won by 2+ pounds over second place.

    The 2018 CCBM Opens Points Champ were looking for a top 6 finish in the 2022 points race with this one TX left.

    The pair found the right bites to bring in a 5 fish limit of 20.36 Lbs to take home the win and a nice cash payout.
    Their big fish was 4.82 lbs.

    The Team also took home additional $$$$$ by entering the $ 60 Option Pot and taking first place cash there.

    They are also eligible for the Power Pole Contingency cash for $ 250, and the T & H Marine Contingency $$$ if signed up for the programs.
