The website with the rules is up: http://www.northtexaskayaktrail.com/

I wanted to get everything up for now so people can begin to read the rules. I'll get it a little better looking in the next few weeks.

I'll answer any questions that you may have regarding the series and rules.

Thanks.

Looks good Josh, very thorough... Did notice that in the picture criteria it doesn't stipulate a direction the fish must be facing... In many tournaments they require the head pointing left, tail right etc... Not saying that you should change it, but it does make it easier to judge if everyone's on the same page about that. Also, you don't mention anything about the tail. Am I to take that to mean that it's okay to 'pinch'? If that's not expressly prohibited then someone will probably do it, others won't... Could skew the results in ways that doesn't necessarily reward the best fish... Most tourneys I've seen call for the tail in a 'natural' lay position, which means if you squeezed it and stretched it before the pic you'll be penalized...

Excellent job again... You've thought of more than I would've considered... I only mention the above points because I've seen them be issues on other tourneys before...

Thanks for the input. I'll probably make those changes. As for the pinching the tail I guess I thought I had that covered with this "No hands or devices over, on, or stretching the mouth or tail fins.", but I'll make it more clear.

I also created a little flyer to hopefully put up at a bunch of kayak spots. If anyone wants one to hand out let me know.

I cant wait for this. Great job! I know that this is the first year for this but based on feedback you have recieved do you have an idea of how many anglers to expect for each event?

Great looking site Josh. I noticed in the lure description it says something about only comercially available baits allowed. I know some people are taking pleasure in pouring their own plastics an making their own artifical baits. Are these not going to be allowed?

Sorry for not responding sooner, but I've been in Oklahoma since Friday.

I added additional photo criteria brought up by gutcheck that I feel are necessary:

Photo Criteria
g. Fish must be facing to the left.

h. No pinching of the tail is allowed. Measure the fish as it naturally lies on the measuring board.

Also, I added a minimum age of 13 for eligible anglers.


If you're interested in distributing flyers please PM me with your address and how many and I will mail them to you.

No clue, but the feedback has been more than I anticipated.

Yes, Bass only. No sand Bass.

Correct, you are not allowed to fish with personal hand poured plastics or lures.

I will try to print some out tomorrow. If you're interested in having some flyers, please PM and we can arrange a meet up or I can mail them. Thanks. I want to try and keep this thread for questions regarding rules and what-not. Thanks.

I'll have to get ahold of Todd and figure out if he is going to attend any of these tournaments. I will be trying my hardest to make it down there, seems like a blast Josh. I can not wait to get a chance to get my fish on with you all.
