Is there enough interest to restart a tournament trail. The lack of participation in a fairly local CAGI concerns me a bit.
Secondly, would participants in a LSCB tourney trail object to me organizing and fishing the same event? I'm willing to organize and promote the events but I also want to compete. Would that be consitered conflict of interest?
I really miss the whole group getting together in friendly competition.
What say you?

I think that would be a great idea! I would participate.
I think most of us are hesistant to do tourneys in the heat but 9 months out of the year I think there would be no problem with turn out.
I have to admit that I would love to see a good size tourney on White Rock. With the foot traffic I think we could generate a lot of interest.

I agree, if we are going to do this, we should avoid the summer months...
As far as you fishing the tournaments you put together... I don't see why not. Putting together a tournament is a lot of work. You would be more than entitled to fish in it.

I would also like to add that Texas is different from most of the US in the fact that we also have big buffalo. There should be a big buffalo award for venues that have buffalo. Thats my .02

I am def game for some tourneys, so long as they don't conflict with me being on call. I am not scared of the heat either so summer time works for me.I think a lot of our old school guys just aren't as excited about carp fishing as they once were.

I think a lot of our old school guys just aren't as excited about carp fishing as they once were. I think Texas has spoiled us. When alot of us were first turned on to Carp, it was amazing to catch 15-20-25-30-40lb fish! But fast forward a few years, everyone is catching 15-20lb+ fish regulary, pretty much from any venue. Except for the rare 40lb+ (50lb soon I would think!) it's pretty much the same old, same old. Someone caught "another" 25-35lb Carp. We need someone to catch a few 50's to up the ante again. Until then, Bring on the Buffalo.

I can agree with no summer day tourneys but night tourneys this time of hear are awsome. Mid 70 degree temps and light breezes makes for comfortable fishing.
If the CAGI hadn't required stop at midnight, I'd have scheduled it to start at 9:00 pm. The catching the last half of the tourney would have worked everyone's arse off. LOL
Tracy caught a 14 lber from Whitney after the tourney was over.

JMHO but tournament fishing isn't specemin hunting. They're two different games. In a tourney, any fish that counts for weight is a good fish and a respectable catch. In specmin hunting, it's only the PB or near PB fish that are the goal. It's all a matter of perspective while fishing. I like both games.

The funny thing is that the same is not true for me when it comes to buffalo. Although I am sick of 20 lb carp I don't ever seem to get sick of 30 lb buffalo. I get excited everytime I see it's a buff on the end of my line. Thats just me. The exception is catching 20 lb carp with a group of friends. That makes for plenty of entertainment.

I like the night idea for this time of year. I bet the action on Joe Pool, at night, this time of year is non stop.

If I did not have drive so far I would be interested. With the new house my fishing budget has become very little for the moment.

When it comes to tourny fishing it doesnt matter what size they are. You would want any size that will weigh. If you get bored with catching 20's on euro try other methods. Try freelining dough and corn, balancing, or what ever. I could catch them with a can and some line lmao. Bring the tourny trail back. Im ready!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's hold some more local tournements to DFW so people can't use the gas is too expensive excuse(even though it is).
Here are my suggestions for locations of tournements
1) White Rock Lake in early October
2) Grapevine @ night this August
3) Trinity River @ Riverside Park in Fort Worth(Tons of bank space)
4) Texoma in November

I'm with Jason, somewhat. If I'm fishing my light gear, I'll catch small carp all day. If I'm fishing a big water with my Euro gear, though, I want big fish. I want fish over 25 lbs. Nothing was getting so annoying as catching all those teener carp at Emma in Jan, and I had to keep getting up in the middle of the flippin cold night to catch the smaller fish.
Depending on when and where, I'd probably fish a few of them.
