Me and Tracy have been talking about having a regular tournament series either at the barge or a few lakes around the area. if we do the barge it would be the same rules as the club before it there which was the lewisville carp & buffalo club or if we did the random lakes we can do it atc style draw for pegs and such. right now i want to try to get a head count of people who would be interested and available in having a regular tournament series

If its during the summer and I can get a job, I might do it.

I am interested

we want to try to make it a 12 month series either 2 tournaments a month or one

I would be interested as well.

Let me know if this works out for you. If you can get enough people interested, & my business picks up a little, I might be able to help out by sponsoring a few events in some way.

Guys, I'm very interested and would love to make every event I can.

well right now i am a poor college student in denton but when august comes im moving back home i would like to try it or start it in the summer but i want to get about 10 to 15 people in it. Llindex that would be excellent if you could do that. but if we were to do these tournaments we could have it at the barge like i said but i see how it restricts people from fishing the way they want to fish i honestly want to do it at random lakes its just that i have a 1 ton silverado and its hard on me on gas but ill try. A few lakes have been thrown around at me in the last few weeks and those are Lewisville (i dont know where we would have it), Grapevine (obviously Murell), Ray Hubbard (also dont know where) and Ray Roberts(no idea where). Please chime in on ideas cause i want to get this up and running around summer

i'd be in and as you know the Carp Brigade does this kind of thing I lot. We'd love to have more of the Lville crew participate. count me in and let me know how I can help.

i did not know that ssf thank you. im trying to set it up since a couple of years ago our club at the lewisville barge disbanded due to new jobs and such and people leaving for college. Me and tracy miss the taste of competition and i dont have the money to go to austin and fish. i also have no euro equipment but if anyone can help out with a sling and all such weighing equipment that would be great and i count 7 people so far id rather have 15 so just in case people cant make it we can still have a tourney. I will work on a rule sheet and such but i need people to tell me if they would rather have the barge or random lakes

Speaking of which, has there been a consensus on a schedule for tournaments this spring? I'm game for organizing another event at Ghostie.

Sounds like the tournament committee needs to get together for a beer to talk it over.

I'd say random lakes cuz barge fishing is fun but different venues is more fun . Unless you plan on hitting all the different barges like Lewisville, Benbrook, Joe Pool

I'd be in for at least a few... of course it depends on scheduling and entry fees

we havent made a schedule yet im hoping to get one soon i just need suggestions on what lakes and where and i would like everyone to agree on each one. the only lakes i know for fishing carp and buffalo is grapevine and lewisville but pond venues and what ever else will be good also

I'd likely make one now and again.

yeah brian i hope to see you havent seen you since that tournament a while back at the barge

i really dont want to go too high on entry fees ill say around 25 for entry and then everyone who wants can put in 5 dollars for big fish, big buff or big shad(only at the barge) i was hoping maybe two at grapevine in the summer while the bite is hot but the weather is to.

Is Bowfishing alowed?

if yall can pm some places we can fish that can accomadate atleast 10 people that would be great and the time of the year that is best to fish there

I hope your kidding cuz if not you will be highly unwelcome. I personally have issues with people who kill fish for fun and do not utilize the fish. I will gladly let you know my feelings and have no problem doing so

My slips on Hubbard can accomodate 10 people. And bowfishers can't reach depths of 27 feet.

they can with concrete shoes

And a regulator attached to two air tanks on my back using a Hawaiian sling. For those who do not know what a Hawaiian sling is....http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=h...I7GGLR%26sa%3DN

Word of advice, guys...IGNORE IT.

Huckleberry,

It took me almost 15 months to reach 1,300 posts. It took you less than 3 months. Do you think you might have some issues?

Oh wait. He posts in the commode hole called "Off Topic." That splains everything.

Yeah yall lighten up, I was kidding anyways

Nothing else to do at work.

but you guys shoot some locations by me. jason we could probably do that on your slip that would be great

I am the tidy bowl man!!!!

Back on topic...

Is Cedar Creek too far for you guys? I know that it doesn't have any real records listed on it, but it has produced some nice mirrors in the past and even has a record for bigmouth buffalo.

for me it is i live in denton

True...it takes about 2 hrs to get to my parents' house in Springtown from Athens.

If I were still in DFW, I'd probably try and make most of them, but I have trouble getting out as it is, so I don't know about going up for just a 1 day event.

Marine Creek will produce, but it's mostly fish in the 6 lb range. Lake Worth didn't produce a thing during a fish in a while back, but it's bound to produce some nice fish at some point. I think Eagle Mountain would be nice, but there is virtually NO bank space.

Weatherford is said to be full of grassers, and there's always Benbrook.

If Bret threw his Ghostie tourney into the mix, you could get quality venues from both sides of the metromess.

Yeah CC is kinda far. I would prefer a barge tourney.

Well, since I've never fished a barge, I wouldn't have any clue as to what lakes (other than the ones mentioned already) have them.

I'm up for a tourney - I only did the ghostie tourney, but that was a good time.

Since I've never fished LLELA - how about a bring your trash bag/carp tourney there?

hey guys when is supossed to take place i may try to make it out and reunite with everyone...shoot me a pm with the date

Chris, I don't think anything has been set yet, but I'm sure it will be all over the board when this thing gets going. Even though I haven't met you in person, it will be awesome when you get out and reunite with the LSCB.

I am in for tourneys in DFW and maybe a few somewhere else. I still have a few other LSCB'ers to meet!

i most likely will not be able to do any such tournament untill the end of the spring semester cause im on academic probation at NCTC. i left class early to much to go out in the boat

Ah, I know that problem ALL too well...

i cant help it its in my blood i have to have my fix everyday and now that i kicked my useless cheating girlfriend out i have more time to go fishing but still have a little money problem (as im talking im eating ramen noodles)LOL

Some of the guys can attest to the fact that I never studied and I was usually fishing when I should have been focusing on school. I also know about the money problem. That was most of the reason why I didn't get out much last year!

its sucks but i manage

why not keep the tournaments at a free venue to cut down on cost for everyone. there are plenty of excellant locations not too far from denton that can be fished and also we don't run the risk of losing fish to piers and whatnot. for instance all the ponds off luna rd, syndicate, reading, or some of the under fished lakes like white rock, mountain creek, marine creek, and lake worth. we would also be able to spread out a bit.

fishlady btw we did meet that one time at gv when your friend caught that 30lb buff i met him and you.

Oh yeah...I totally forgot about that. It seems so long ago.

White Rock is an awesome venue!

Nice thread going on here. Sorry I have been away. I have been working like crazy here lately. I just recently screwed my back up again lol. I have a bad disk. We can have this at all the area lakes around here. We can take turns organizing this when one isnt available another can be. Hopefully im back in action after this weekend.

my ideas exactly

im just trying to get an idea of a schedule

ill do that during the Kansas VS Virgina Tech game

ROCKCHALK GO JAYHAWKS

Let me know, Im going back to lay down on the couch. It sucks, its my anniversary and my back is hurting lol.
