Where is Eagle Mountain Lake?

clicky

Fort Worth

Eagle moutain is northwest of Fort Worth.

xgenex,
Do you have to be a member to fish the tourneys? Is it two man....person teams?

Yes you have to be a member which is $25 a year. The entry fee for a reguler tournament is $60 and big fish is $10. One or two man teams 10 pole limit.

gene i gotta question about a rule.
The 10 pole limit; that is how many can be in the water or the boat??

The Water

Ten pole limit on rods in the water you can have more rods in your boat.

If you didnt make Navarro mills be sure to make eagle mountain fellows. We gonna try and have another great tournament for yall. Dont know yeat on the food for fri. night (could be crawfish) just not certain. Hey Gene, sure need to know were we are planning on staying.

I'm woking on it. Will know soething this week.

hey guys if you want to stay on the water the old fish camp will be open ...I am remodling the bathrooms this week....if you want some info let me know......do you guys have a ramp yet?

Brother terry PM sent

I have not participated but I have been to one of the tournies and it was a lot of fun watching them weigh in those big cats at Benbrook... Maybe I can pursuade a buddy of mine join and start giving my money to the winners of these tournaments.

Folks does each team member have to be a member of the organization?

Yes both must be members. However if its a family member like wife son than they are included with your membership. Membership is a family membership.

Alright guys, looks like we will have another great tournament. Im gonna need a pretty good head count on who is gonna make the friday night meeting.

Headed out friday to look around the lake. Also going to find a place to stay for the tournament. I'll let you all know.

xgenx,

I have some of the other guys from the tournament staying at our camp that we are just re-opening. Creek Harbor Camp. It is on the NE side of the lake, just north of Indian Creek. We have small cabins here that rent for $40 a night. Let me know if you are interested. We still have some left. Good luck.

Josh

Was curious. After reading about how bad all the boat ramps were I am not for sure if I want to take a chance in taking my boat. Was there any boat ramps there that are worth a darn and don't cost a bundle just to launch the boat at.

Catfishmike,

We have a ramp at Creek Harbor that is in good shape for $5 and one just down the road at Lakview Marina that is really nice for $10. Really all the ramps on EM are pretty good. The only two really bad ones are the free ramps at the end of Peden Road and at Shady Grove park. All the ones at the marinas are in good shape and run from $5 - $20 depending on the marina.

ok, I was just reading some other posts from other members about the ramps on the lake and it didn't sound to good as I have never been to that lake yet. My misunderstand on that. sorry. I will have to drive out there and check them out now and see.

okay guys, We will have the weigh-in at Augies Marina. I spoke to them today. He says he has a good boat ramp. Any questions call me (Jody) 254-645-0180. Hey Josh, I will be staying at yalls place. Im letting Whitey hadly that though.Im thinking we will probaly fell all your cabins(hopefully)

That would be great. You need to let me know as soon as possible. Right now they are all available to you guys. Where are you going to do the crawfish boil at?

Congradulation Nick for PLACING 2ED. OVERALL in the PRO BASS BIG CAT QUEST !!!!! You tore them up at Lake Palestine Saturday!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!

If there is any lake traffic at all parking at Augie's will be a nightmare, especially if you have a big turnout. Very hard to park in this area and hard to navigate in and out.

Little Minnow's marina at Lakeview is a better facility ten fold and much better parking area and centrally located on the lake.

I second That.....

Josh,
I would guess at the camp ...

It's going to be fine. The ramp is good. But, as always you can launch at any ramp you choose to, so it's really not a big deal.

Hey josh, I sent you a PM. Please let me know.
It looks like we are gonna have a great tourn. for you guys. On a different note congradulations to Nickie Boy. That bass pro tourn was great to watch. I was hurt and unable to fish but i was thier for the whole tourn. Great job to Ken Freeman.

Still looking for places to stay. If anyone has suggestion please let me know

Did you call Josh?
the camp will be open by then....

We check but it's not going to work out

xgenx,

Hit me on PM when you get the chance.

Josh

Josh we got it all worked out thanks We'll be there.

Thanks xgenex. Just get together and give me a final count. Right now I have 6 cabins blocked for you guys including Whitey. If you need more let me know. I have one other cabin rented out so there are still 5 available.

Six is it right now. I will let you know if we need more or I will let people know to contact you for one.

gene, give me a call. Hey bert you gonna fish this one, I ain't heard from you in a while.

Gene,

Looking forward to everyone being there again. I'm In Missouri seeing my daughter graduate Army boot camp.

Fort Leonardwood. Man did I hate boot camp there. Tell her congrats, and thanks for serving our country.

Congratulations to your daughter Gene. When you gonna pre-fish Eagle Mountain.

Thanks she's doing good started training for her job. It is in the middle of nowhere. Nothing to do there at all.

Anyone do any pre-fishing on the week-end

i didnt get a chance cuz of work, but i will be there Fri morning around daylight

Hey guys,

Just a reminder for the guys staying at the cabins at Creek Harbor: You need to bring your own linens or sleeping backs. They are not provided. Also, we have good sized fire pits so bring some firewood to set a blaze. We are looking forward to having you guys. See you soon.

Josh

they do have electricity and water right?
just kidding!

Im ready, I hope I can get their thursday night

Fished the lake yesterday. The ramp at Augie's is really small and getting in and out was bad that evening due to all the Bikes. Their is a Biker Bar next door & at the marina also. It's going to get a little crowded on Saturday at the weight-in but it's do-able.

I did... so did Ernie....

I'll be there Friday morning bright and early.

Wow...you want water AND electricity...I thought you were outdoorsman:) Just kidding, we have water and electricity. Each cabin has its own window unit AC, and there is a community bathroom with showers (recently remodeled by Brother Terry). Each cabin also has it's own small grill out front.
