I could be wrong but I don't think any of the local (dfw) area shops have ever booked same day tournaments? I don't think this is the problem. I see the problem as turnout period. We are a very new scene up here as compared to other locations. Last year we had an average of 5 anglers show up for the Thursday nighters. This year we have averaged closer to 20. Things are growing guys!!! You can't just flip a switch and have 100 people show up. If we just continue to provide great tournaments by dedicated people and shops, that is all we can do. The lakes up here are not [censored] as stated above! We have some of the best lakes in the state! They just take time and hard work to figure out. I hope to see everyone out at the tournaments. I'm not trying to stir anything this is just all my Opinion.

Guys, we can all work something out. This will be fun. We've got lots of stuff in the works. Those of you who know me, know that is my intention and it for sure is in the works. My weeks will free up some after this weekend and I plan to visit everyone and "talk". Until then tight lines!!!

I will be there! let me know when.

Regardless of the past, whatever that may be...

Rick has now extended an invite and it's up to each of you pro staffers and tournament organizers, to step up and help bring our scene together. I've talked to alot of you guys and we've all said it would be beneficial to have a sit down, to avoid conflicts and make sure everyone benefits.

I think This is a pivotal point for ALL of us, an opportunity to fix some things that need to be addressed. It seems like the majority of us are on the same page, so let's get together and iron things out.

In my opinion the past is a good record of the efforts for those who have contributed so far .....that's all I'm sayin'

The future is bright! So we can all be on board - what are the problems we will be addressing Eric?

Great! How 'bout week after next to give folks a chance to work on their schedules. I suggest Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday (Oct 13, 14 or 15)evening at a restaurant somewhere between Dallas and Fort Worth.

May I suggest Grapevine or Arlington?

I understand Erik, I don't expect you to speak for anyone else. Rick - chime in. Unfortunately a phone call won't communicate with all of the interested parties. So for all of your posters on this.... If another time is better, that's great. This is just a suggestion to get things rolling.

I guess we can do it Thursday and I'll bring a calander..
