Its about that time again.We will start these on April 1st and go thru the summer as usual.The last tournament will be on August 26th. The championship date will be announced later in the summer.If you win at least one qualifying tournament,your entry fee to the championship is free. Alot of week night tournaments are starting early this year because the time change is a few weeks sooner but we are gonna start the same time as in the past. Tournamet info will be sent to all paid members from last year and there will be some info at Fun N Sun in Hurst within the week. I have worked another deal with Lakeveiw on the ramp fees and with paid membership of $20,that will cover your launch fees every tuesday night thru the summer. Launching 2 times will pay for itself. We will continue to pay back 100% of the entry fees every week. I will also do the monthly total weights for free entry this year.The lake should stay at conservation level this year so we should be fine all year.Below are basic details

* Every Tuesday 7-10:30 pm (starting April 1st)
* Lakeveiw Marina
* $30 entry fee ($10 big bass included)
* $20 optional side pot on heavy stringer (pays 1 per 20 entries)
* pay schedule is 1 per 5
* $20 membership (covers launch fees on tuesday nights,tournament flyers,championship and my time for orginization)
* 100% payback

Donnie, put Chad and I down for these.

I can't wait to get these started count us in too.

I will be there. Does anyone know if there will be a Wednesday Nite tourny as well, since there is no more CATT tournaments.

Well looks like I wont be joining you guys this year.... My work has lead me back to Arkansas for awhile....

You guys have fun, they are a lot of fun to fish....

Do I need to apply for a beer license at the end of my dock???

That takes place at Lakeview after the weight in please come join us.

Donnie we need to have another cookout for one of the weight ins my guys are ready for it.

See yall there.

Cant wait to get back to the weekly tournaments. Hopefully this year I can get out there and fish a few more of them.

Good Luck to everyone.

Cant wait for them to start back up, I'll see yall out there.

Hope to see ya'll there.
Bump it up!

Joe I hope to see you there too are you planning to fish them this year?

Donnie:

Talk to Albert or Hal in fishing at Cabelas. Sorry for delay.

yeah Monte, I plan on coming out and fishing this with ya'll.

Thanks to Moritz. They are paying $250 to the winner of each tournament if that team has bought a Moritz Chevrolet in the last two yaers. Flyers are in the mail tommorrow.

Kennedy and I will some.

what is the $20 side pot? heavy stringer out of the guys that paid the 20 gets that money? if you dont and just pay the $30 then you can still when heavy stringer just not the side pot? is that correct? i havent seen that before.

I've been fishing these for years and as far as I understand it the $30.00 entry pays 1 spot for every 5 entries. The $20.00 side pot pays 1 spot for every 10 entries and really adds up for the winning teams and usually goes to several teams. I think this started so guys could sign up at the lower level and still compete at a lower cost if they choose. The first time you don't sign up for the side pot you will probably win the tournament which will pay real good but you will be kicking yourself all the way to the house. Donnie pays out 100% so all the money taken in goes back to the winning teams.

Guys if I explained the side pot wrong feel free to correct me.

Monte is correct except it pays 1 place for every 20 entries instead of every 10. He is dead on about not getting in on the side pot although it is an option.

Too bad we didn't get it started tonight the weather is perfect.

One week to go!!!!

Im going to have to find a partner for a few of these.

There's alway somebody looking for a partner so it should not be a problem. Let me know when you want to come out and I'll see if I can get you hooked up with somebody.

Thanks Monte,

I think I may have found one to fish a few of them with.

Hey Fish killer,

Give me a pm if you want fish it sometime. I live here in Weatherford too.

Doughboy,

Mercedes Binz and I will be there when possible!!

Thanks for the offer Z250Skeeter. I might ahve to take you up on the offer.
Good to see another person from Weatherford on here.

We're planning to do another Moritz Chevrolet Cook Out for one of the April tournaments. Be sure you can make that one it was a lot of fun last year and I can't wait to do it again. I'm not sure my partner cared for it much because I spent most of the tournament calling my guys back at the ramp making sure every thing was going as planned. I'll post more info as soon as we get the date nailed down right now it looks like it'll be the second tournament.

Killer,

11 lber was cought on weatherford this week. there starting to show up in the shallows finaly.
I'm going to EM to see how it's going out there friday maybe.

Water is starting to clear up nice at creeks. And last nite I found 68degree water temp in a couple areas. Tues nite should be good.

Are they on beds yet?

I have seen two fish on beds but they have been hard to spot til now. Some areas are still cloudy.

I have fished Eagle Mountain for around 10 years and I bet I've seen less than 15-20 fish on a bed. It seems like every year the water is just too muddy to see them or the other possibility is I've been looking in all the wrong places.

Bump it up....

If I can find a partner, I may come out and fish with you boys!

Guess i will come out and donate to you guys again this year

ttt

Few more hours to go boys and girls...Let's do it!

The wind has settled down thank god. See yall there.

Bump up to the top

Who all is going to fish in the rain tonight?

I'm in are you going to be there?

I think so Monte but not for sure just yet......When are we cooking out there....I'll bring some beer and diet cokes just for Donnie

We are planning to have the cook out in a few weeks hopefully by then we'll be up to 25-30 teams and the weather forecast will be a little better.

I am !!!!!

Me and my partner didnt do worth a hoot. We didnt go back to weigh in WHO WON.

1. Strong / Kelly 9.75
2. Moore / Johnson 3.53
3. Bratcher / Keller 3.04

It was a very tough night for everybody

How many teams were ther? Sorry we didnt make it, wife didnt want to risk the rain/hail. will try next week.

I will fish this tournament but my partner is tired of me trying to drag him into so many tournaments. So I need a part time partner. I live in Haslet and could provide the boat and meet whoever at the ramp the night of the T. Im willing to fish 50 percent of all events. I will provide the boat and gas if someone wants to team up and pay entry for us.
Im 34 and work in Justin in the printing industry. PM with any interest.
Tony

I forgot to ask my wife guess I should have no better than I did.

ive never fished tournament b4....can anyone fish it? if its team thing then i guess im gonna need a partner also, any volunteers? i only fish EM during the mornings and dont know anything about the lake in the afternoon.
