Brian,

Let me know if you need me to do anything.


CW

Have fun guys, I will see you at the next one.

CV knows plenty about Lavon.

I love Lavon...and at least I know it 100 times better than RR, but Stucky and I had other arrangement..so catch yall on the next one ...

I sure wish you guy's would fish it.

I can't make this one either Good luck guys

You guys make one down here at CC in mid August. I think I could fish it that time of year.

Only if I can be your partner chuck LOL.

Good luck boys! Family vacation takes me out of the plans.

Oh... I see how it is Brian. JK!

Yep, you sure do lol.

if anyone needs a partner let me know cause I need one with a boat since I have no boat.

Team Jigum !!!!!!!!!!

is there any off limits time before tourney?

is there any off limits before tourney?

Nope

Brian, do you have any idea what the turn out might be. I think I might be able to make this one.

Rodney.

I'll quote a great fisherman we all know, "We will have more than 1 team, and less than 100".

If it's real hot that may keep a few people away but I fully expect to have 15-20 teams participate.

Never been to Lavon, though they got the rains this year to make the lake healthy again.

I hope to hook up with some of you here later this Summer, because my freezer is bare and the family is getting ancy at me for not keeping it stocked. :P

I may try the slips to see if I can get 3-5 keepers, but doubt it'll happen.

Good luck on the tourney!

I think more would come if we could fish longer, Hint, Hint

Lake is getting better, should see some decent stringers weighed.

Fished this morning with Fillet O' Crappie at Lavon. We caught about 30 fish with about 7 or so keepers. All were caught on timber and brushpiles in 15-20 ft. Today was my first time fishing Lavon and I do have to say I was impressed. Big fish went about 1 1/4 lbs. Black/Chart Rocky Tops did the trick. Should be a great time at the tourney and should be alot of fish caught.

My buddy and I are wanting to give a crappie tourney a try.

What is the entry fee? Are newcomers welcome?

Kyle

All willing fisherman are welcome to fish. 45 per team.

Rules?

Live bait?

Multiple rods?

Multiple hooks?

Weigh in.....dead fish penalty?

Same rules apply... just different lake, boat ramp, time and weight in place.

what won?

Hadn't happened yet but I bet it'll take 11 pounds.

opps i was thinking june 26

Team Tucker/Loftice will be there.. I think jerry is right about the time.. maybe a couple more hours

This tournamanet the hours have been set.

oh well already know who is gonna win,,

No not so much. I have just as much chance as anybody.

dag gummet!!!!!!!!! thats my b-day and i cant make it now

haha you guys... well it should be fun either way.. guess we can get done there and come back and fish ray roberts

You sure can!




Sounds like all the more reason to go to me!

Gonna take 10.50# pounds with a 1.80# big fish to win. I'm just not sure I can compete with some of you boys, that Cody kid scares me

Your only going to have about 1 1/2 hours of good fishing, better be in the right spot at the right time

Well just tell me where it is and ill be there Jerry.

Seriously maybe it should have been longer but I said it would be a short one so we are going to stick with it on this one. It will be the same for everybody so if the weights are shorter than thats just what we will deal with.

Jerry I hope you fish it...

If I ever win one of these I want it to be beacuase I beat you.

Got to have goals, and my goal is to put the hurt on the best there is someday. And Ill never get that way without fishing against the best.

So who all is fishing in this thing?

Anthony and I will be there.

Jigum's team said they will fish

Would bet James/Jeff show up

Brent said he is going to fish it.

Hopefully a bunch more.

You should come and fish it Tom! It is going to be a great time and there is probably going to be alot of fish caught.

We got the spots brian so we deffinatly in jerry aint going to be my friend no more maybe we should give him the graph for his friendship back jeff.

I wish I could but I am heading out that weekend for a family vacation in Tenessee. Hopefully I can catch some fish out there.

Oh yeah, that's right. Dang, I need to get my memory checked out.

What ramp???

I need to pick one. Any one have a suggestion. Im going to get the permit so we dont get in trouble but I know little about which ramp would be the best.

How about East Fork??

Ill look into it. Trying to pick one with the least pleasure boat traffic.

Mallard Park ,ZERO Traffic. Im going to try and make this one.

July 26th Lavon Sunday's Tourney

Will be out of Little Ridge

Ill be at the ramp from 5-530 to take money. Fishing is from 6 to stop at 11:30 and be in the weigh in line at 12:00. At 12:01 the line will be closed per the clock on my ATT cell phone. 7 fish limit. With the heat of the summer Im going to say you can put you fish on ice if you like. Everyone knows what a day old fish looks like so dont bring one to the weigh in. Every fisherman will pay $25. If you have three in your boat you entry fee will be $75. $5 from every fisherman will go to big fish. There was a $50 permit that will be taken back from the entry fee's. We have a brand new scale but I will not be taking anything back from this tournament to cover costs for the scale. Anthony (fishinaholic) will post the rules in this thread. If you like to sign up early I work in Plano and live in Mckinney.

Feel free to call Brian 214-732-7859

Please try to have your form signed, filled out, and cash when you come to see me. I will not launch my boat till 5:30 so that gives you 30 min to sign up.
