The October tournament will be at Grapevine. I checked the solunar tables and the best weekend is Oct 17. It will be Oct 17, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Entry will be $25 for tournament, $5 side pots for buff, carp and mirror. I promise I will have more details within the next few days.

I'm in.

me to.

In!

No can do, I am out of the country! Damm it

im out unless something changes wife will still be recovering from surgery and delivery

In (and hopefully won't have to back out at the last minute like the WR one).

Is it gonna be at the cliffs or is location still to be determined?

Out, day before my anniversary and I am on call.........

Out....will be chasing billfish in Cabo

I will try to do this one.


This is also where I would normally mention the txfishes big carp and big buffalo contest, but this even it at grapevine.


That said, there is no leader yet, there is always the chance that everyone else has a terrible autumn/winter and your grapevine fish wins it all (anyone check the leaderboards for number of entrants lately? it is growing.....)

I also would like to ask on the night of the tournament that people who arent fishing the tourney, wouldnt mind not fishing where we are going to have the tournament. I will be posting the location up in the next week or two. I need to go scouting around looking at spots. Thanks a lot. Hope to see a big turn out.

it kills me not to fish the rock before touries but i follow rules are you thinking the cliffs or another area tracy ?

Any new info on the Grapevine tourney? site? Who is in? When and who do we pay the entry fee? I haven't fished one of these. Am in for this one.

im in too

I just might make this one afterall!! depends on the wife though.

Can i use my yak to bait up? if so im in.

can i use joshes yak to bait up as well?!? If so im in heheh

yes josh you can

sweet, im in and Jeff you can use the yak to bait up as well, i just need to find someone with a scale.

I would imagine Tracy has a good scale and others probably do as well. We should be OK on that. And I have an unhooking mat, carp net and weigh sling if anyone wants to share. I'm sure that kind of stuff will work itself out at the peg draw.

cool Josh, hopefully ill be able to make it depending on $$ at the time but scales and things of that nature will be of the plenty i sure!

I've got a small net, a mat, and scales.

Here are the rules for the new guys
