Looks great and sounds like alot of fun.

AWESOME

Nice job Dean and ugotthatcash. ill try to make them

i was just curious on how big you guys are somewhat predicting these to be? Like how many teams...some of the lakes are pretty small is why I was wondering, I didnt know if you planned on it being a pretty small event or not.

Either way it doesnt matter, I was just curious.

In the past some of our tournaments have had around 10-15 teams and some have been smaller. This was put together to give some of the guys who don't want to chase the metroplex curcuit's or drive 2-3 hours the chance to stay close to home and do what we love to do. The smallest of the lakes is Alvarado and I personaly have been on it this spring fishing with 20 teams in a tournament and we never skipped a beat. It was a little tough but we managed. Come on out.

We do believe that we'll have a good turnout.Alvarado has been called the littlest lake,and that it won't hold a 30 boat tourney.But if you ever come out there to a tourney that has only 10-15 boats in it,you'll see 10 other non tourney bass boats,3-4 ski boats and 3-4 jet ski's.And with all that going on,we've never had an issue.Yes our lake selection is not the biggest lake's,but it's the lake's that us southern metroplex guys fish alot.So we didn't want to clash with the EML,Lewis,Grape tourneys,these are our backyard lake's and we just wanted cater to the southern guys,and give them a place to go around the house.

Thanks Jason, Dean is great,and we both going to hustle alot more sponsors this series.

sounds awesome, I actually have never fished a tournament, but wanted to get into it pretty soon. This sounds like a good start...do you guys have a club also? Or is it just a line of open tournaments?

We are just a group of guys who have become good friends through fishing. We was going to start a club but there are to many floating around as it is. We got the best of both worlds. Good group of guys to fish with, no yearly dues and no monthly meetings. After the Fall/Winter Series is over we will start the Spring/Summer series(stay tuned for more info).

$50 for a four hour tournament? 80% payback Middle of a Sunday during football season? Waco "close to home"?

Waco aint but 1hr from cleburne. Waco is an awesome lake to fish. I'll be at that one for sure

To answer the questions asked: $50 a team for 4 hours(isn't that bad $25 a man if you have a partner, days getting shorter and the warmest part of the day), 80% payback (added money for the finals), middle of Sunday during football season (some fisherman attend church), Waco (1 hour from where I live in cleburne). Hope this clears up your questions and hope to see ya out there if not see ya at the Cleburne Open on Oct 25th.... Oop's just gave ya another plug!

I think $50.00 a team is a great price,if not load and go fish Lewisville or EML's $60.00 a team weekly tourney for 5 hours.It's 2009,most of us are to old to ever get a check from the NFL,or we just record it.lol,and Waco is a hop,skip,and a jump.Lewisville is about the same distance.The 20% taken out is for the prizes and added money for the finals.[we done it like this at our last series,and everyone came away with money,or a nice prize.Just my 2 cents. Great job Dean and the rest of THE DIRTY SOUTH POSSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DIRTY SOUTH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DIRTY SOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DIRTY SOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL

Thought we was gonna have a cryfest for a moment,and call a whambalance.LOL Waco is far?woooooooow!I heard you and Greg kicked butt at EML.Congrats to you two.See ya at Alvarado.

hey mike and dean. im doing the four lakes in two days thing. why didnt u guys tell me at alvarado open that the dirty south series started that same weekend. oh well i catch up with u guys later! alvarado custom tackle 817-240-4195

Didn't know the dates for sure at that time. Good Luck, catch us at the next one.

We checked Media,BassChamps,CABA,and BLT,plus tried to not interfer with anyone elses club or weekly tourney.But we was under the impression that you wasn't even sure you was going to do it.And wasn't sure on a date yet.And i think it was $200.00 per team.So we posted it that night,cause all dates were open.So hopefully if you fish Cleburne on the 18th in the am.Then do your Alvarado in the afternoon,we can run our tourney in conjunction with each other.And that way everyone can fish the Kings of Kountry and the Dirty South Bass Series.Just a thought.

lets do it! what a week end "Kings of Kountry getting Dirty in the South" lol

Can't wait to get it started,we met a few new guys at the Granbury tourney.Dean and I had 10 lbs. on three fish and didn't place.Lol But had a blast and hope to see some of the guys at Alvarado next week.

Alvarado Lake

Water temp around 72-74 degrees
Water clarity is clear to stained in some spots.
And yes the ramp is O.K.,the lake is back up,and full to the brim.

I found a partner, thanks. See yall next Sunday.

Good deal Gettinjiggy.See ya next Sunday.

Hey Dean and anyone else reading this,we have had 1 team that has a tourney the same time as the TBF Top 6,so we are looking for 1 team boater and non boater,to fish the top 6 with us.If anyone is interested in fishing the top 6 pm me,or find me and Dean at the series.

ttt

We are days away from the start of the series.Who's all in?

We will be there. Looks like we are going to have some great weather too.

Looks like we're gonna have a few this year.It's gonna be a great series.Alvarado,s gonna be on by Sunday.And we have had some questions about off limits.The answer is you can fish Saturdays but it's off limits Sunday mornings,up till tourney time.

Can't wait for this to kick off Sunday. Sounds like a lot of fun Dean. This will keep me occupied until club series starts back up in the spring. See ya at the lake!

U ready for this one Jeff? I sure am, gonna be a nice day Sunday also! Let's catch some fish!

We will see yall on Sunday, I sure hope that they turn on by then

yeah I'm ready. Only a few more days.

I'll try to get there early enough to turn the switch on Jason.lol

Just where we are fishing though!!!
Just where we are fishing though!!!

NowWith the rain,cool weather,water temp,and sunny Sunday,they should turn on by there self.lol

me and a buddy are going to be fishing at Alvarado and possibly all the others.

We were first interested in Whitney and Waco because he lives on Waco and I live on Whitney, but then just said, heck, we can fish them all.

Great can't wait till Sunday.

Glad to have ya!!!

i know i will be donating this one

Why you say that Jason?It's gonna be on Sunday.

See everyone tomorrow!!!

Sorry guys I have to work tomorrow I hope yall catch a mess of them

My boss(wife) reminded me our nephews 5th bday party was at 2pm tomorrow. She's my fishing partner so we won't make this one. See you at the next one. I marked our calender so she could arrange the family [censored], opps I mean gatherings around our tournaments.

Congrats to Sonny Bankston and Marty Williams - 1st Place

Congrats Sonny and Marty on the win.Fishing was tough,but you guys figured them out.lol I thought it was a TEAM tourney Dean.lmao. Great job everybody and see ya at Granbury.

Had a good time yesterday. See ya'll at Granbury.

Hey guys. Just wanted to know how the turnout for Alvarado tour. went? How many boats were there? What won? Thanks.

Thanks ugotthatcash, I wouldn't say that we actually "figured them out" but were lucky enough to get a few in the boat. We look forward to seeing you guys in the coming months. Also, how do the points work exactly on this series?

The points are like this

50-1st
49-2nd
48-3rd and so on.all the way to 50th place.But you have to come weigh in fish and place.After that it is one half of the last place finishes points are awarded for perticapating.Then you add your total weight to your points.

Well, i guess if i we couldn't win this one, at least my dad and brother-in-law did. lol! Good job guys. See ya'll at the next one.

Hey bassassassin72 where did you catch that carp in the first picture?lol Thanks for coming out and we'll see ya at Granbury.

I caught that carp at alvarado in the reeds! LOL! Can't wait till next touney! See ya there.

ttt, I'm ready for the next tourney. How much longer?

I know,we have our tourney on the 15th,then we go right back on the 20th for the top 6.I'm ready to get out there.Have you guys been over to Granbury yet?Hopefully the weather will hold out,and it won't turn cold.And the lake has time to settle down alittle,before we all tear it up at take-off,lol.

I'm ready to get out there, looking foward to both tourneys. I haven't been down there yet, but planning on getting there soon. I know it's finally full. My cousin lives on the lake and he told me it looked good other than being muddy right now. Hopefully it will clear up and then it's on! lol!

Iknow with all this rain every other day or two,not to mention the tornado type winds,but hopefully we get some good weather for the month of November.But all and all we'll all do OK at Granbury.

Junior, you working on Saturday? I am heading over to Granbury Saturday morning to see what is happening. We didn't get too much rain today so hopefully it won't be getting any muddier than it already is. One way to look at it, muddy or clear, fish still have to eat in order to survive.

No, i'm not working Saturday. You thinking about going early or later in the day? Let me know!

The plan is to go at the crack of dawn and stay till 11:00 or so. Your dad said he may want to go also.

I'm going Sunday morning,and staying the whole day,gonna look at some new spots to fish.With the top six right after our deal,need to find some big fish holes.lol Good luck guys,and tell how you did.

We definitely need to find some big ones for the top six. Man I can hardly wait for that one! Will let you know where they are at after our Sunday tourney...lol. Good luck Sunday!

Hey guys, we are getting together at Cleburne on Sunday morning for a little pot tournament if you are interested in coming. I posted a thread about it on the forum with all the necessary info. Hope to see you there.

Who did you fish with this morning Marti? Let me know how ya'll did this afternoon. Good luck!

Well, what was the winning weight on Granbury?

We haven't fished Granbury yet. We'll be there Nov.15th. Can't wait!!

Jeff,
You interested in fishing the jackpot touney this Sunday 11/8 out at Cleburne or do you have plans already? Let me know if you want to fish. I'm gonna be there.

Junior,
I might be interested, are you still thinking about going to Granbury saturday. I can't go both days, I have the boys. Jills going to be out of town. Doesn't matter to me which one we do. Let me know.

I think I am going to pass on Granbury Saturday because I am working Friday night. I would like for that water to clear up a little more down there. If u decide u want to fish Sunday, give me a call one day this week.

Hey guys,come on out to Cleburne,we had a blast last week,even though it was Deans turn to catch fish,AND HE DIDN'T,LOL,we had a blast.I went out there yesterday morning and didn't get a bite.Water was stilled muddy.Once Cleburne starts to clear up,i'll start going to Granbury.lol Cause i don't think fishing in that chocolate milk,will do any of us any good right now.It should be cleared up by the top 6,hope it's just stained for the DSBS.Anyways see ya all at the ramp Sunday.

I'll be there Sunday morning for sure. See ya'll at the ramp!

Just around the corner now

Good luck Dean, Mike, Marti, and Sonny, but I'm looking to break Marti's lucky streak as of late...lol! Marti has been hot and someone needs to break the pattern..lol!!

Hey Mike,
Do you have to work tomorrow morning? Just wondering, I was thinking of going out to Granbury and doing some scouting. Let me know if u have to work or if you would like to go. Later!

Ya'll go out there tomorrow and find them hogs, so we can kick some arse @ the TBF!!!!!! Wish I could go tomorrow.

Wish u could go too Jeff. Just call in to work...lol! What's more important, work or fishin'...lol!

I would go,but wife will whip my butt.I need to go do a job tommorow.But remember to put the plug in your boat.Just a reminder from a non-boater,that fishes with a boater,not mentionong any names,that likes to fish without the plug.lmao,But did find out that the bilge pumps on a SKEETER,WORK GREAT.

Right on! I'll try to remember to get it in the right hole...lol! Believe it or not, I do know a guy that did put the plug in the live well hole instead of the boat hole one time! It didn't work out too well...lol! Later!

I thought we had them Sunday,but broke off my last laser eyed,sexy pink/chartrues,banjo minnow.And got stuck fishing that dang DD22 in the grass.lol All stuff aside Marti's fishing great right now.He just better hope them swimbaits can producing good fish,at Granbury,cause we stocked up on some of them Bill Dance eels,and some hula poppers,we are ready.lol

We are gonna have a meeting for the Dirty South Posse Bass Club,after the weigh-in on Sunday the 15th.We will be informing everyone that the winning team of the DSBS winter series and the winning team of the spring series,will automatically be our 2 teams and the current president and treasurer,will be the top 6 for the next years TBF top 6.So since Dean and myself,have got it off the ground,i'm the 2010 president,and Deans the 2010 treasurer.We will have rules and guidlines,and vote on new president and treasurer at the last DSBS spring finals.So all that is interested,please stick around and if you have any questions,we can answer them.There will be no dues for the club,but you do need to join the TBF for $30 per year and $35 for FLW,this gets you into the mix to fish the TBF/FLW state quilifier and a chance at going to the national championship.See ya'll at the ramp.

Almost here finally!! Can't wait to get out there and catch some fish.

I know it's been a whole week since iv'e seen my partner.I'm so excited i can't sleep.But they are calling for some rain for Sunday and Monday.That's the last thing the lake needs right now.But anyways,see everyone at the City Park boat ramp on Sunday.

im excited im gonna get to be there today, i cant wait to get out there and catch some toads

After months and hours of thinking about coming out today,i guess i'll be there to.But for the record,if my partner talks,touches,or even looks at me,the way i don't want to be,IT'S ON!!!!!!!!!

How did it go out there today? I was going to try to make it. I didnt even unhook the boat from the St. Jude Tournament on Saturday. Just about has everything reloaded and that dang Phone rang. Maybe next time!

Mike, I just read the stuff on the meeting after weigh in today. Sorry we didn't stick around. Call me 817-9330-0919 and let me know what went down.

Thanks

Results are on the Website also

Granbury Results

Congrats to Sonny Bankston and Marti Williams - 1st Place


Congrats to Junior Bankston Big Bass 5.56 lbs.

My connection here at work doesnt allow me to go to angerfire web pages so I cant see the results or any pictures.

What weight won at Alvarado, and sorry we couldnt make it, we should make the rest.

It was three fish, a little over 5 pounds at Alavarado. Also three fish over 8 pound at Granbury. Come on out to Cleburne next month. It's been a lot of fun.

we fished at alvarado, but the guy I fished with had plans this past sunday so we sat it out.

we should be there at cleburne.

Get ready for a spanking,we're taking marty & sunny at Cleburne.lol

hell, we havent even weighed a fish.

Im ready to do some fishing this weekend. I hope this weather doesn't mess the lake up too much. See ya'll saturday.

Hello all Dirty South participants. This is just a thought that I wanted to throw out so feel free to add your $.02. Does everyone want to get together at my house in Cleburne on 12/19, the night before the Cleburne event for some food and drinks? Feel free to bring a spouse. We can do finger foods or a meal, really it depends on what everyone wants. Let me know what you all think and we can go from there.

Can i bring brownies.lmao

when I log onto the website, and click any of the links for results or tournaments, etc...the links dont work, never have.

it just shows a bunch of scripts

Mine does that when I use Firefox as my browser. Internet Explorer works everytime.

thats the problem, I have been using firefox...thanks

Matt

ttt

The weather is changing guys, Cleburne is going to be a totally different ballgame from today's patterns.

We'll figure them out,figure we will just watch where you go.lol

O.K. Everybody follow Marti when we take off...lol! I am sure ready for this Sunday. Missed being out there with you guys this past Sunday, even you Mike...LOL!

Mike, Clean out your PM box, it's full...lol. I can't send you anything. Was going to talk to you about south 40 shootout. Holler at me!

See Dean somebody loves me.lmao

Sent you a pm ugotthatcash!!!!

got it,having heard from my buddy yet.

I welcome everyone to follow me on the 20th. I will be more than happy to escort all competitors to the fishing holes of my choice then take their keys and wish them the best. See you all at the ramp.

I will not be apart of your tactical kindness,that you would help a fellow angler.I have been following you around for 2 months,and all i get are drum and flat heads.lol

Michael you fishing this sunday

pm sent

ttt

Everyone get up and bundle up Sunday morning. Gonna be a cold start to the day. See ya at the ramp!

If it is really cold,me and my partner will cuddle to keep warm till it heats up.lol

Mike, you and Dean wouldn't catch so many drum and flatheads if you weren't fishing with dead shrimp during the tournaments. Technically, it is not against the rules because it is not posted on the flyer.

Not the trash fishin'...lol! Mike, I hope Dean doesn't get to expecting more out of you than cuddling...lol! See ya'll at the ramp.

Will that be pole-to-pole or hole-to-hole cuddling?

We'll it all depends on Dean,you know he's been under the weather here lately.lol See ya'll at the ramp,be sure to watch out for floaters(no restrooms at ramp).lmao

TTT

Hope the weather is better on the 20th. At least now you and Mike can ride around and watch the fish even if they won't bite.

Is there any off limits times? Can we fish the morning tournament then come and fish DSBS that afternoon?

The only off limits is that you can't be on the lake the day of the tournament until the start time. See ya there.

There will not be a Cleburne morning tourney on the 20th. The guy that puts it on is leading the DSBS,and rule is No Fishing the morning of tourney.

I have my wife's dad side of the family christmas on the afternoon of the 20th. I am going to spend all week seeing if I can work my way out of it!!

Texcwby, in my opinion, competitive fishing is a very valid reason for skipping out on a family function. Tell your wife you have a partner who is depending on you.

Somewhat close to the approach I am going to take. Just going to spin it a little bit different since I havnt made this side of the family in about 4 years why should I start now!!! Besides that 80% of the people I will see there I will see again before the end of the year! Always seems like something comes up so that I cant make and DSBS event. One day I will make one so that I can fall in line and follow everyone else right bebind you :-)

Hopefully this thumb will be closer to being healed up by the 20th. I'm after Sonny and Marti...lol!

Junior,that thumb isn't gonna help you out much.We got that new toy in the boat,and we gonna be on the only hole that will have the winning sac on it.lol I think we are gonna fish Robison Branch,you know that 22' drop off in the backside of the creek.That's where it will be won at.

That new toy aint gonna help ya'll out much if you run out of fuses...lol! This thumb will be good to go, and you are probablly right, it won't help me catch anymore fish! Robinson's Branch huh?

Mike, will you and Dean follow me to my holes and tell me if there are fish on them? I don't wanna waste my time if nothing is in the area.

Nobody is allowed to follow us to your holes Morti.

60 ft. Christmas tree bite is on.

That is were my christmas tree went too!! Dang I thought I knew I had more then 4

Just to let all ya'll know, Junior and I plan on winning on the 20th. lol. So everyone come donate! Our hole is full of 15' willow trees in 38' of water. Tru-tungsten 12" rainbow trout swimbait will be the lure of choice.

Jeff, that may be the lure of YOUR choice, not the fish. I just finished a meeting out there and converted EVERY bass at Cleburne to a swimmers union and will only bite union approved baits, and only my baits are approved! HOWEVER, if you pay $50.00 per boat on the 20th, I will approve all other's baits but there is a 24 hour waiting time once they will eat it, unfortunately, you really have no chance of catching anything on that day so if you want to pay your entry fee and leave that will be fine with me. Good luck to everyone on the 20th.

The forecast is looking promising for warmer water for the 20th, I am ready boys. In order to get an edge on the competition, Sonny is going to break Junior's other thumb tomorrow, I am going to steal Dean's 72" screen, side imaging, costs more than my whole boat Humminbird and offer everyone WAY too much to drink on Saturday night.

You can have Sonny break both of my hands if you want, but there is no way in hell that i'm gonna let you and him win three in a row...lol! As far as dean's graph goes, just make sure he doesn't have any extra fuses and we will be O.K.!

Let's get to the drinking part?I nominate Greg as the spokes person for the DSBS.LMAO But marti are you ready to see the DIRTY SOUTH POSSE in action off the lake.You gotta remember,between the Hurt boys and myself,your neighbors will have a petition signed the next day and asking you to move far away.lol Oh yeah! That's right,don't plan on having any specific quitting time,we are all night,two-stepping-honky-tonking,beer drinking,whisky sipping,snuff spitting,good ole' country boys.So please be a good hostes and watch Dean,i think he like's me,and not funny ha ha,you know?Don't know how he handle's his liquior.LMAO

ATTENTION EVERYONE----Dean added me as a friend on Facebook. Finally, after 31 years on this earth, I am just now feeling acceptance in the TRUE meaning of the word. Oh yeah, Dean looks WAAAAAYYYYYYY too limp wristed in his profile pic with his head cocked over onto Angie's head. I wish I had photoshop and I would put Mikes face on there to make it even sweeter.

Browsing Marti's pics on Facebook when I found this "WOW!!!!!!!!!!!"

Sing to me baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya'll are way out of control...LOL! Sing to Mike, Marti, how special....LOL!

That was me singing "Is You Is, or Ain't You Ain't My Baby" to Mikey boy.
