Empire Team Trail

Empire Team Trail Angler-centric NY Bass Team Trail - organized and run by a committee of local tournament anglers

12/10/2025

2025 Fun Facts:

In 9 tournaments…

We weighed 748 bass
Total weight was 3026.25 lbs
Making the average weight just over 4 lbs per fish

We had 16 fish presented for Lunker over 6 lbs
We had 3 fish presented for Lunker over 7 lbs

Each lake’s BIG for the year:
Oneida - 6.1 lbs
SLR - 6.57 lbs
Cayuga - 7.75 lbs
Fairhaven - 5.99 lbs
Honeoye - 4.57 lbs
Sodus - 5.94 lbs

And perhaps most impressive…
Over the course of 9 tournaments, some multi-day, we had 7 recorded fish fatalities. We preach fish care (ice, fizzing, release if necessary)…we expext the most of our anglers in that regard. That’s less than 1%!! Excellent!!! Thank you!

Congratulations to Jared and Gavin Adamski for their win on Oneida this weekend!!! A super-stout, near 25 lb bag locked them in for the W and punched their ticket to Nationals at Hartwell where they can chase a spot at the Bassmaster Classic!

Dustin Pryce and Will Fisher took Lunker with a mammoth 6.10. We don’t see many brown 6’s coming out of Oneida! Nice job fellas!

I can’t say this enough…if you fished with us this year, THANK YOU! Your support is what keeps us going!!

2026 schedule will be out soon. We’re waiting on a few details to finalize.

👀 we’re looking at the wind forecast for Oneida this weekend. Saturday looks great, Sunday looks saucy.

All intentions are that we are a go for both days. If the wind takes a turn for the worst Sunday will be a game time decision. If we’re unable to go Saturday’s results will stand.

A reminder - we’re going out of Oneida Shores.
7:30 - 3:30, gates open at 6:00
