Every dog has his day. I am thinking on trying but have to see if I am working. I am very interested to see the new Holiday marina also. I have heard some good stuff.

Seems there was some drama in the other give away you done was it ever cleared up ? Not trying to start stuff but curious

Cant make the link work its in whites and hybrids section I bumped the thread up , again im not trying to bash the new guys at holiday marina or start drama I wish them the best I look forward to using the ramp lots in the winter heck I might even show up this sunday but doubtful due to heat (need to do it 8pm 6 am then fat boys could come . Allegedly there was a contest in whites section where in the end they said a 15 lb hybrid / striper was caught but no one seen any pictures ?? And there was another thread saying lake record black bass caught at holiday marina but I guess it was a lie because the thread was deleted

THE ONLY DRAMA IN THE FIRST GIVAWAY WAS A LADY CAUGHT A 15 POUND STRIPER IN WITCH THE PICTURE WAS POSTED!
THE GUIDED TRIP WAS UNDER INVESTIGATION BECAUSE THE GUIDE BROUGHT IN OVER 5 LIMITS OF FISH. FOR TWO PEOPLE TRIP!
HOLIDAY MARINA DOES NOT CONDONE THESE TYPE OF ACTIONS.

THE RESULT I WAS TOLD BY MANY INCLUDING THE GUIDE WAS HE GOT TICKETED BY THE GAME WARDEN.
WE PAID THE LADY THE MONEY IT WAS NOT HER FAULT!

BUT NOW WE ARE MORE CAREFUL IN THE RULE GUIDELINES... AS IN NO GUIDES QUALIFY.

LAST WEEK WE GAVE $750.00 CASH AWAY TO A GUY WHO CAUGHT A 11 POUND 1 OUNCE STRIPER.
HE PLAYED BY THE RULES!

YALL COME ON OUT I HOPE TO SEE SOME CATFISH OVER 60 POUNDS AT WEIGH IN!

I shall be there.

Do bank fisherman have an opportunity at this? I know it says you have to launch at Holiday and that's why i am curious.

YEP IF ITS AT HOLIDAY

Thanks for clearing that up ! One more thing , Do we have to be there at 10 pm to collect winnings if we brought in the big fish or could we get it next day or following weekend maybe ?

fish has to be alive to weight in right? And, will the fish be released after weighing them in?

Wished me and Sam lived a little closer, we'd jump on this.

That doesn't seem fair. Boater can fish the whole lake but bankers have to fish at holiday marina?

Holiday is paying the money, their rules sound fair to me. This is a form of advertisement.

LOL use a boat. how can you say its not fair

?

Can someone answer drawings question ?

I think this is what he wants to know and I am wondering also. Thanks

If anyone has a spot on their boat let me know. I have all of my own gear and will gladly pay for gas. I have my own boat but hate to drag it out myself because I don't know the lake well. I live over in Fort Worth area.

Anyone have contact info ? Maybe we can call and ask

Not sure if its same # but 903-560-0630

I called and you have to be there at 10 pm to get the money.

Thanks Steve !

And the winner is???

No winner?

Ya what Dink took the $?

SOOOOO? Winning weight is?????

Wish I would of read this through before the weekend. I would of got in on this maaan!

and the winner is.....



lol!!! just kidding, just trying to get a rise out you guys. That or an actual photo of the winner.

Just seems like it would have evened the playing field if the bankers could have checked in at holiday, paid the launch fee, then gone to their spot. Not everybody has a boat they can just use.

Nobody Won?

I fished and didn't do worth a dang our biggest went about 7 or 8 lbs we quit at 11 am and headed in 24 lbs was in the lead at that time

sorry guys the winning fish was 42pounds 8 ounces Sunday
