Any chance we could get a kayak tournament section on this forum? Think this would help, almost all trails have dates for next year and could post them here for everyone.

That's a great idea. The bass section has it why not us.

How about it Robbie Milam???

While I don't have the attention span or enough Xanax to read this whole thread, I've gathered enough to like where this is going. I don't have too many opinions on the where and how things get done because I'm not going to get involved in the nuts and bolts. I'll fish any trail any where I feel like is a good value and good times to be had. The thing that gets to me some is all the behind the scene whining and poisoning of others perceptions that goes on. There's absolutely no way that can be productive so just let that stuff and the ones who choose to perpetuate it go about their business..... For all you who don't know, CCKF has a DFW trail with major corporations as sponsors, high payouts, and is very well ran with Marshall boats on the lake keeping an eye out. You'll have a hard time finding a better value. There's room for another as well and I hope it happens. I'll donate my dollars for sure

Let me see what I can do

Good read for you newbies!!!

The DFW tourney scene sure has came along way from those days!

Definitely a good thread, rather confusing for a green horn like myself though. My questions i guess wold be: what would you reccomend for a relatively new kayak angler wanting to get my feet wet fishing some tournaments around the North Texas Area, i live in Fort Worth and am a life long fisherman, just recently joining the ranks of the kayak anglers. Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated. I understand most of this years tourneys are coming to an end but i would like to try and get involved with a tournament series or kayak fishing club before the start of the next season series.

Mariner Sails Workingmans tourneys. Can't beat a free tourney to wet your feet. There is one tomorrow night on Lake Arlington.

Yes, the Mariner Sail's working man's is a free tournament that welcomes anyone. You will find anglers from very skilled to beginners fishing these, because it's simply a way to wet a line with a few friends at the end of the work week. North Texas Kayak Championship's season has just ended and will be picking back up in late Feb/early March. Kayak Anglers of Fort Worth has a night tournament on Marine Creek This weekend, and a few more coming up for the rest of this year. Also never be afraid to come on here and see if anyone wants to fish on the weekend, we're always looking for people to fish with.

awesome, thanks for the reply and info

Sounds like that is the way to go, i will definitely try to make it out to a Thursday night Tourney, and i would definitely be up for going out fishing with some more experienced anglers, im not a complete greenhorn, i have fished most of my life but just got into kayak fishing this summer, and i am always game to learn some new tips, techniques, tricks, etc... had some great luck fishing so far but i know that there is so much more to learn to be able to be competitive with experienced anglers. and i have some friends that i kayak fish with but we would loveto hang out and fish with other local guys as well. Thanks for the info and reply

Can we get some tournaments on Lake Arlington?
