Camp Lester Fish Camp

Camp Lester Fish Camp Camp Lester is a mom & pop fish camp, small but big in so many ways! Leo & Joanne Cosce have owned Camp Lester since 1975. There is always fun to be had!

They offer cabins, RV spots, a boat ramp, a small store, campfire and many times a cookout!

Camp Lester lost a huge piece of our heart yesterday with the passing of our beloved Mom and MomMom. Joanne poured immeasurable love and life into our family and into Camp Lester over the years. She was a beautiful, kind soul who knew how to make everyone feel welcome and loved. If you spent any amount of time at Camp Lester, she likely made you feel like part of our family. There was never a shortage of good times, laughter, or amazing food when she was around! She will be terribly missed, but we are thankful for the many incredible memories we have with her.

While we appreciate the outpouring of love we have received so far, we ask that you please refrain from calling the Camp phone number with condolences. Please allow us time to grieve as a family.

In the meantime, we would love to hear any favorite memories you may have with Joanne, either on this thread or by private message. (Please understand we may not be able to comment or reply right away).

There's a saying:

Red sky by morning;
Sailors take warning.

Red sky by night;
Sailors delight.

Based on yesterday afternoon, y'all better take warning. It was hailing here 🥶

‼️Any post you see from “Chris” is FAKE. ‼️
The real Chris does not have Facebook.
Apparently the hackers are still at it. We don’t have control of the account! They changed his profile pic to an old hunting pic yesterday (please stop and think! Why would he post a hunting pic in June? Why would we be celebrating an anniversary in May? It’s not real!!) Don’t interact with it and please please please don’t fall for anything they are trying to “sell”.
Here’s the pic they posted yesterday.

One week from tonight, Friday, Jun 5th with be the 2nd leg of our Friday night bass tournaments. Take-off will be at 6pm with weigh-in taking place at camp at 9pm. Entry fee is $60 per boat which includes $10 towards big bass pot. 100% payback, with number of boats determining how many places are paid. No pre-registration, pay evening of event at camp. It will be a 3 fish limit with state regulations (only 1 bass per angler that is 16 inches or larger). Artificial baits only. This is a 2 person team event, but you can fish solo (though this puts you at a disadvantage due to state regulations). Please make sure your boat has working live wells and navigation/anchor lights prior to registration.

Hot Dogs will be served after weigh-in. Hope to see you next Friday!! Please help spread the word.
