Once again this year CCBM will reward the overall top 3 point-accumulating teams for the 2017 Open tournaments with end of the season prizes. To be eligible one member must be signed up as
the captain, and, along with any partner(s), his team accumulates points toward the year-end point total.
We will count points for 4 out of the 5 Opens toward final standings.

First place overall points winner will receive $250.00 in Susquehanna Fishing Tackle shop gift cards.

Second place overall points winner will receive 2 Dobyns Rods retail value $ 225.00

Third Place overall points winner will receive $125.00 in Sunoco Gas Cards.

We will have a southern off-limits boundary for the tournaments. A west to east line drawn from the south point ( Sandy Point ) of the Bush River to the South point of Still Pond Cove ( Plum Point ).

The Bush River and Still Pond will be the southernmost fishable waters for the Opens.

This eliminates some concerns on transporting and dislocating bass from the Middle, Gunpowder, Back Rivers, etc., to the North East River.
