Why are you having it on a Thursday ?

FastLane has been drinking again! LOL!!!

I don't know what you guys have been drinking or maybe yall have been using that K2 stuff?? But every 2011 Calendar I looked at says that December 17th is a Saturday..lol

I hope it isn't like 25 degree's that day for the high. That maybe a little tough on me. May have to stay home...lol

My bad I was looking at november .... Cold or not I will be there

No problem... See you on the 17th.

Its gonna be freezing!! Hey fastlane are you bringing the hot chocolate?

What do you guys think about changing the hours to 8:30am to 4:30pm? So that it will be in the warmer part of the day.

Quit being a baby!!!!! Lol No really that doesnt sound like bad idea.

Thats one thing about fishing -the hours sux.I love starting later.This time of year it doesn't matter.

Lake Tyler was on fire today !!!!! Had the best day of my 10+ years of fishing out there today .... Was unbelievable

Which lake the East or the West? I was out there today fishing West Lake.

Didn't really matter ... Just a pattern that worked on both...what boat were you in ? Seemed like there was a ton of people on Tyler this morning

Fast Lane.
Huh is there still a tournament on the 10th. or did I just have a senior moment?

I would like to fish but can you get some sun shine for that day You know how us old people are

an still looking for someone to pair with me...
wild bill

Lol.. I didn't have one scheduled for the 10th. I am having one on 12/17/11 and 1/7/12. Starting them at 8:30am so maybe it will be a liitle warmer at that time.

What will pay out be? Winner take all or 1 through 5??????

One place for every 5 entries.

Fast lane is bringing the hot chocolate!!!!!!!!

I'm thinking more like Starbucks cafe mochas ....

Nope, the Snow Cones you wanted back in August just come in, so we are having snow cones..lol

You bring me a snow cone and you better duck!!!! LOL

i think he should quit fishing early and have BBQ and beer ready for us when we get back to the weigh in.

Now that is a GREAT idea!! LOL

Gents,

It's been almost a year since I was Tyler, what is the water like as far as running. Anything I need to be aware of that may not be obvious??? Already had to install 4 wheel drive for Rayburn & TB! Haaaaaa

See you guys the 17th!

Thanks!

LoL..

Yall are making me hungry..

It is not too bad. Just stay out from the points when you are running.

Yes but that doesnt count on tournamnet day. I will probably zero on sat.

Looks like we might be fishin in the rain Saturday ....

Rain could be a good thing. First Sunday in December on Fork we found them schooling during the rain, wind and cold. Whacked them!

CAN you fish both sides? Is the channel okay to use or is it to shallow?

hey coach the channel is fine. i went thru there on monday and it was plenty deep enough for my 21'er. just trim up when you first enter other than that its 5-6 all the way thru.

We in. yall can just pay me at the ramp and save some gas.LOL!! Should be some good stringers.

I love it when you guys come from out of town and donate to us local guys. LOL!!! Cause I need some christmas money!!!!

DT...I need some aluminum bottles. Got any?

If you are refering to the 16 oz size then yes i do. LOL!!!!

Nice. When I take your money Saturday you can give me one.

LMAO!!!! If you beat me then i will give you one. But this is a two-way road so i will be expecting the same.

of course, but you know i only travel with bottles

Shouldve known!!!!

BRRRR!!!!!! Its cold outside!!!

Sounds like a challenge.

You and Bart come out Saturday. I am confident that you guys will do well.

Bart is headed to Falcon tomorrow. I might make it.

Hope to see you Saturday Mel. Bart is going to catch some Hawgs down there.

DT, just noticed the colorado pic you posted last night...nice

LOL yeah im ready to go back and get my snow boardin on!!!!

Pretty sure I'm in for Sat. How many teams so far?

we think we should fish from 8:30 to 3:00 what do the rest of you think. gets dark at 5:00
thanks Scott

Yes, How about ending it at 3:oo.

I would like a Saturday tournament that that fished from safelight to noon.

Im liking the 8:30-4:30

I would think 7:00am till 3:00pm would be fine. by 8:30 the morning bite is over..LOL

I don't think you will lose any teams by changing to 3:00 and actually, you will pick up 2 or 3 teams.

Leave it 8:30-4:30...... No way he's gonna change the tourney hours the night before.....late bite should be good anyways

i say we change it to 3:00. just tell everyone and the sign in changed to 3:00

This is not the Bassmaster Classic. It is a bunch of fishermen who like to compete and enjoy their day on the lake. I like the idea of leaving the lake and getting home before dark.

ready for Tyler now !!!

It would be nice to get home before dark and have a chance to clean up the boat. I would leave the 8:30 but change to 3:00 or 3:30.

LOL!!!!!!! dang pinesaddict did you make those or buy them. It doesnt matter they dont work on tyler!!! I was thinking maybe a little side pot. Maybe $20 per boat, biggest sack gets the pot.

I made them takes about 5 min and probably $2 a pice

I'm still in.... Don't forget the hot chocolate fastlane

Awww, Cmon fastlane it will be all right. Dont forget the bbq and cold drinks for afterwards. LOL!!!!!

Roll call: Who's is planning on fishing this tournament now? Hope all of you that were complaining are going to show up.

Me and my partner. His brother and nephew.

Burkett-Pottkotter will be there. Good move on the time. Better turnout now. Thanks!

Danny you pansy. See what you did!? You cost us an extra hour of fishing!!!! Cmon fast lane...don't give in to the peer pressure! What are you teaching our children? DON'T GIVE IN!!

I just realized we are not fishing out of my boat so it doesnt matter to me. LOL!!!!!

Little late...

Just stick with the plan fastlane 8:30-4:30

I would like to apply for a one hour extension.

If anyone has any questions or complaints on the tournament hours please direct them to Danny Tidwell and feel free to track him down on the water and talk to him at any time. Especially if you see him catching fish, but you probably won't see that... He is designated as the official complaint taker for the day And I also heard Franky Burkett is bringing Breakfast for us all (What I heard)... Just saying..Don't know if that is true or not..

taylor and hudson are in now

You left too soon. Well maybe next time for you.

Whatever!!!! LOL!!!!!!

You may want to hang around a little longer at the next one. You missed McDonald's man. It was good too...lol

Man i had a limit before you swallowed that cold a__s biscuit.

You probably did. I didn't catch a limit all day. Good thing I enjoyed that biscuit, because that was the highlight of my day on the lake..lol

I tried to get back from work in time to make it to the weigh in to talk a little smack to Danny and put faces with names but I got called back to Longview at 2 and didn't make it in til 5. Good sacks, wish I could have actually fished it.

This is for professionals. Not rookies and cheerleaders for after the fact!!! LOL!!!

That's funny..

Don't make me smack you upside the head next time I see you lol.

We had a great time. It was our first time on the lake so I guess 6th place is not bad. It it is a real pretty lake. I hope to get to fish it again soon

It was great to have ya coach. hope you can make it back soon. Shoot me a pm when you make it back and i will give you some spots to try out. (Unless its a tournament) LOL

Thanks for fishing with us. Glad you guys had a good time. Hope to see you again soon.

Send me a PM of some of your spots to try out.

had a great time, beautiful day, thanks for all the work you put into these tournaments Fast Lane.

Thanks

Scott

Waht are you talking about. You saw me all day today. LOL

I was going to ask you for your spots. I could not tell you where we caught our since I don't know the lake. You probably caught more than we did.

We had a limit by 9:15 and i think we caught 17 all day.

Cansomeone PM with what ya'll caught your fish on? I would love to learn the lake more.

we caught around 15 but most were small. We culled one skinny fish. It was 17 1/2 inches long but maybe weighed a pound and a half..

Yea but I don't know where you caught your fish.

Thanks Scott, Hope to see you at the next one.

I catch fish wherever i stop. So if you saw me fishing then i was catching fish. LOL!!!!!

If you caught them by 9:15am then I know where you caught them. Seen where you were coming from at 9:30 am when you were changing spots..lol
