Looks good

Great schedule, we are looking forward to fishing with y'all for 2018

Awesome! looking forward to fishing with the North division Lonny

Bring your A game Pete. The couples are out to beat you after meeting you and Jess for dinner the other nite at the cabin. LOL

No ones worried about Pete

defiantly a good group of fishermen in your group. we will have to dig deep to hang with y'all.

LOL I wouldn't worry about me, I'm just a hack. Now Jess is a different story!

I bought my wife 3 baitcasting combos for her birthday, first time out she caught 13 and I caught 1. I might just have to run the boat and livewells.

That�s all I do LOL!

I need to find me a woman to fish this schedule........

Brad, don't forget the net. With Kim, I do a lot of running the net. LOL

^^^I'll be running that too!

Good schedule and a really well run region. Looking forward to it......

I knew you would like it JoeB, coming to your home lake. Dang sandbagger, LOL

How do you get into these tournaments? I�m new to this stuff but really want to get into tournament fishing just don�t know where to start.

Robert, you can go to www.fishcast.com and get all the info and registration forms for the tourneys. CAST is a couples format, Husband and Wife, Father and Daughter, Mother and Son and such. If you have any questions just give me a call at 817-597-1630. Lonny

Have been asked, so I must post. CAST is a man and woman format, no father and sons and so on. Please is you have any questions call 817-597-1630 (Lonny)

Just an update for flexpress

Lonnie looks good Not you the schedule LOL

I'm trying to get my wife into fishing with me. Can we fish just one tournament?

Toofy, one can just fish 1 tourney, as long as its the first one you pay membership and tourney fee. Any tourney after that its membership fee and double fee on the tourney, just to protect us from jackpotters. The double fee will be used for that tourney and the next one will already be paid for. If you have questions just holler at me man. 817-597-1630.
Stump Monkey, why you hating? LOL

What is the payout percentage on these tournaments? $140 entry and $50 registration fee seems high so it must pay pretty good I'm guessing

Not hatin Bro You'll figure it out New screen name Old friend

Not sure on the exact payout percentage (around 75%), but we average around 20 teams and the winner takes home $855 plus the other 3 teams winnigs and big bass. Membership is a 1 time fee, has nothing to do with payout per tourney.
If you must know I can get my wife to figure it out, she handles the paperwork (smart stuff). I just weigh in the fish. LOL

Might of missed it but... can a couple fish any combination of the divisions? I.e. 3 lakes from the north and 3 from the metro?

Once you have paid your membership fee, you can fish any lakes in any region. For your points for the C'ship and Top Six to count you have to have to designate a home region though. Your points are not transferable from one region to the next. Hope this helps, if not call me 817-597-1630 Lonny

Thanks Lonny, that answered my question

JDJ01, no problem. Hope to see you and your significant other out there on the water.

Can get reservations starting tomorrow for the first tourney. www.luminant.com

Reservation is good. Ready for the new year!

got ours, cant wait. need to hit the metro regions on the 3rd for a little practice. LOL

bump

anybody have a squaw creek reservation for the 28th, they are not going to use.

Kim and I will be at the bathrooms at 5:15 a.m. to start registering teams. Tourney fee is $140 and membership fee is $50 for the year. Livewell checks, tackle packs w/ goodies, and good all fishing stories to start off.
First cast 7 a.m.
Last cast 2:30 p.m.
In line w/ fish 3 p.m.
We do ladies big bass, Custom Angle Rod. Must have marker in mouth when brought to weigh in, even if its the only fish being weighed in.
Look forward to seeing everyone next weekend, holler if you have any questions. Lonny 817-597-1630

Well, we had our first tourney for CAST North Region on Saturday Feb. 10th at Squaw Creek. Other than the fact mother nature didn't want to cooperate, it was a good time had by all. Mark and Sandi took 1st with 15.07 with overall big bass and ladies big bass of 4.72, 2nd place was new couple Spencer and Kimber with 11.58 and in 3rd with 11.04 was Stephen and Tracey. The $40 gift card for 4th went to Kendall and Pam. Thanks to all for hanging on with all the bad weather and not bad for a 1/2 day tourney. Look forward to seeing everyone at Lake Arlington on March 3rd.

Had a good time !
My Fish catching partner will be present for Arlington,
because I obviously can�t take of business fishing solo LoL

Lot of fish caught considering the conditions, still a good time though. Look forward to seeing you at Arlington, holler if you want to pre-fish. Never been on the lake

lot of fish caught by others LOL.
I'm hard headed and stuck to my deep ways and only got to use that anchor feature on the new ultrex once for the lonely fish I caught.

I'll let you know.
Im glad the water will still be some what cold, the lake is a nightmare during the warm months.

Yeah, to me, the fish seemed to be schooled really tight. My daughter lost a fish on her second cast on an unprotected point (boy was it cold, and Dad didn't have the net out), and we proceeded to go biteless for over 2 hours. Idling our way up north to a protected cove, and on the way picked up one on a crankbait, then another two casts later in the same place. Floated over where they were hitting, and it was a tangle of short brush in about 9' of water, with the brush about 3' below the surface. Switched to a worm, and wore 'em out until we were told to get off the lake. That area couldn't have been more than 10' wide and 50' long. They were stacked in there.

I knew you would find them, just glad ya ran out of time or everyone else would've been fishing for 2nd place. LOL. Good to see yall again, see you at Arlington.

Even though Kim sent out an e-mail, gonna post. We are going out of Bowman Springs ramp this weekend for CAST North at Lake Arlington. Kim and I will be there at 5:15 with first cast being at 6:30, last cast 2:30 and be in line with your fish by 3. Any questions just give me a holler. 817-597-1630
