I take it this is an individual tournament?

yes it is, carp and buffalo will count towards total weight too

Dang I need a better job! I'd be all over this if I could afford any of that fancy equipment!

I like the buffalo being counted in the weight, should be interesting, I will try to make it.

Do you plan on doing any team tourneys in the future?

you dont need fancy equipment, just make sure you have a knotless net, landing mat and a keep sack. I have scales, slings and tripods for my marshals for verifying weights

Cool!
I'll check my schedule (code: ask my wife!)...

even Brid is allowed? lol

I told my wife lol

yes, if he behaves

november good gives me plenty of time to sell stuff to get the extra cash to attend!!!

the way things are going for me right now, i might end up having to sell my fishing stuff....im doing what i can to keep that from happening though

Man I hope things work out for you bro!!

I'm in...sounds fun.

Just a turn up and fish or do we need to pre enter?

Yes, just show up and fish. A roll call would be nice so I know how many marshals I will need and which pegs to use

I'm planning to fish it.

Can we use a runner/netter ?

it is a singles event, so if you will be allowed to have someone help you net fish but they cannot touch or help land the fish in any other way

I will be fishing this event

I will be there also.

me too!!

Brid says he will be there.

Sounds good everyone.

Stephen, yes there are some team events planned for next year a well as a points based tourney that is free to enter and highest points at the end of the year wins prizes

Sounds great Scott, I will try to make this upcoming event, as long as it does not fall on a Sunday all is good
