HUM HUM SLIDE_R

We are going to make it HUGE.

Casey

I will be there. I am looking forward to it for sure. Thanks casey for putting on this very cool event.

Have you heard of a lot of guys coming from out of state?

I got a lot of people interested, if that turns into show ups then YES a lot.

We will see, I have Students getting a hold of out state school for me/ I will have a BANNER and FLIERS made tomorrow.

Casey

Do we have to check in somewhere or anything the morning of each tournament day? Or do we just show up and start fishing at 6:30?

Yes each morning I will have a drive through Live well check starting at 3 AM.

I will have a lot more info in a nice article in a few days.

Thanks for the great questions though.

Casey

Hey Guys and Gals, I need some volunteers to help out in the tournament.

I could really use the help, let me know if you can.

All you college Students pass the word around, lets make this a big event, and it will be a yearly tournament.

Casey

Casey give Niki a call, she would help in any way with advance notice.
But being a college student she might want to fish it.

LOL she can't she has to help... LOL

Thats great I will call yall tongiht.

Casey

TTT

TTT for you Casey. This is gonna be a great event! Really looking forward to it.

i plan on being there!

will tell some of the aggie boys? do you recommend camping/hotel facilities near ray hubbard?? never been there

TTT

theres a nice little hotel right at Dalrock Rd (across from the Texas queen AKA Bayview Marina). i believe Donny Walters stayed there when he held his benefit tournament. Casey , you might PM donny and see what they charged and quality of the place. its in the perfect location.

Irv stayed there before, its pretty nice. If I remember it was not very much. It's a perfect place.

Real fast


Stanley Lures is donating some great lures
FOUR BROTHERS OUT DOORS HAS JUST PITCHED IN $300

There now is a $150 gift card from Four Brothers Outdoor for HEAVY ONE DAY STRINGER of the tournament.

More to come.

Casey

How many do you have committed so far?

If my folks don't show up for that weekend,I'll donate my back seat to a college student.Might throw in free room and board too.

you rock Casey!

I plan on being there--wish I was on the fishing end but the helping end is pretty cool as well!

I have a lot of commitments so far at least 30-40 boats that number will grow

Look for a write up in LoneStar Outdoors as well as on the Texas Fishing and Outdoors show every Saturday and Sunday at 5:30am and 6:30am on Saturday and 5:30 am on Sunday.

This will be a huge event and the weigh in will be AWESOME.

Casey

Tracker marine boat center in Bass Pro Shops Garland

Some of the features of this service are:
Power Tune
Change Spark Plugs

Take prop of and grease and put prop back on
Adj Shift Cables and steering cables if needed

AND MUCH MORE

I'm going to put this in with the raffles, and get the pot up high to give to the Wish to Fish Foundation.

Since all money I take in on this tournament goes straight to the KIDS

Thanks to Tracker Marine Boat dept.

i might be there, but i dont think you are going to get very many temas from out of state with a $500 1st place gift card, they are going to spend that on gas and rooms, just a suggestion though. but i know its not easy to raise big money without an entry fee, i would make a entry fee of $10 just to make the money get up there a little more.

Yeah I understand what your saying

I know of some from out of state going to be here.

I'm more gearing it towards any College student, thats full time.
No matter if it's a JC school or what.

the format will let guys or Gals with out boats find rides also.

Thanks for the input and keep it coming, hope to see you out there.

Casey

TTT

ttt

Im ready. It couldnt come soon enough

Spread the word every chance you get.

Casey

I will casey. I think me and my roomate are the only Tarleton State fisherman goin. The problem is we are heading to the Red River the next weekend and thats alot of drivin and gas money. I will be there though.

Bump

I'm a grad student at Tarleton State at Central Texas. I tried to start a team but couldn't get anyone to respond for the Central Texas Area. My brother and I will probably fish this one.

- Adrian Barnes

Awsome. The more tarleton students the better.

Just got word about some more great prizes. I will have a great write up soon.

Casey

I would like to help out, since im not a full time student yet..

sounds good.

Spread the word all around and all you got to do is find a full time student, and you can fish with them.

Casey

Ok just wanted to update you all.

I got a BIG BOX of GOODIES from LAKE FORK TACKLE 2 days ago for give aways and there also 2 NICE PRIZE PACKS in there as well.

I just got word from NAVIONICS they will be giving me a

HotMaps Platinum chart for East Texas


I have gotten word from Wave Worms and Yamamoto, they will be sending some items soon.

ONE MORE THING.....If we don't get more Full time students showing interest soon we are going to make it COLLEGE tournament for any college student.

I have got BOATERS who are willing to take you students out to fish if you need a boat. Contact me and I will try to get you in a boat.
