Lake Benbrook Thursday nights Working mans Tournament

The working mans tournament on Benbrook Lake will be held every week starting this Thursday May 23rd.

Launch at marina is $5
Buy in is $20.00 a team
Big bass pot is $10.00 (the big bass must be over 6lbs to win the Big bass pot if that week a big bass is not caught the pot carries over until one is caught).

Launch will be at 6:00 P.M. at Benbrook Lake Marina at Dutch Branch park (now the only marina on the lake)Sign in starts whenever you get there and the order of when you get to take off depends on the time you get there for example: if you are the first to sign up you take off first, if you're the last one to sign up you bring up the rear.

3 fish limit all fish over 14 inches, if a fish under 14 inches is turned in it becomes a 1 pound deduction.

live wells will be checked prior to launch

You must have weighed in by 9:30 if it is 9:31 you will not be able to weigh in.

if anyone has any suggestions or ideas concerning on how we could make this tournament more enjoyable or more successful they will be very appreciated and taken into consideration, I want this tournament to be a big success and want yall to have a good time to.

Thanks and God bless
See you Thursday

Under 14 inches becomes 1 pound deduction?1 pound deduction from your other fish and that one dont count? Right?

There's water there lol!!

we have never had a problem with people bringing in short fish,bringing in a short fish would be braking the state law.if you have a fish that is questionable bring it in and measure it before you weight it and if it is short you can release it,but if you weight it and then it is checked there would have to be a penatly.most penatlies would be for bringing in a dead fish.

With the locals wacking 7#ers like nothing
good luck with fish you need to measure...

If you bring in a fish under 14 its a pound deduction and you don't get to weigh that fish.
also a dead fish is a pound deduction but you still get to weigh it.

I hate that people are killing some of those big fish. Hopefully I'll see y'all a few times this summer! Sounds fun.

How did the first week go?

Slow to report,maybe knowbody fished.I was out there last Thursday morn and bass were bitein plenty good.Saw quite few boats on the water.

The first weeks tournament had 3 boats show up not as many as we would oh hoped but it's a start. 11.6 won the money however the big bass pot carried over. We definetly need more and more boats tomorrow!

Should I just give Ptail john and partner my money now.. lol

Haha ptail john and his partner are pretty dang good! its almost unfair sometimes when you fish against them

I fished against them a couple years ago in these Thursday night T's... I took first twice.. WHEN THEY WERE NOT THERE lol... so no.. I have never beat them.. real good fishermen.

That lake hates me but I may come out tonight to donate to the cause I guess..

I've only beat them once! and good come on out we need all the boats we can get.

I've only beat them once! and good come on out we need all the boats we can get.

Do they still open up that little burger shack thing right there..after the T? And is the big bass pot mandatory/ I will NEVER EVER catch a bass over 6 pounds in that lake, so no need to waste the extra ten if I don't need to.. lol

Man, thats big wind out there for my little boat...

What shape is that lake in? Ramp conditions? Which ramps are open?

Full pool I bet all ramps are open

Did ya'll fish last night in that wind? Results?

We did fish last night in the wind only 1st place was 7.9lbs these fish were on a tough bite! the lake was awfully rough to it wasnt that great of conditions but we made it work.

Jake blood you do not have to get in the big bass pot it isnt mandatory.

I seemed snake bit at this lake. Something happens to me every time! I'm ready to figure it out.

That wind kept me out... I got a little 16 foot bass boat... hopefully this week is different... That lake is a toilet lol..

Hey, are they opening that burger stand there after the T?

Is the working man still going on tomm; if so any advice would be great I've always had prob finding the LMB at that lake

planning on coming this thursday with a new partner this time.Hope we get some boats,weather is looking pretty good wear your sunscreen.

Hope to see some boats there tonight

Anybody want my backseat?

Call me at 817-404-7680

What won it last night?

I'm looking for an open backseat for this event. I know the lake well!

I know every drop off and cove on that lake, and still can't get the bass. Can catch bass at every other lake in TX but my home lake. Kev, pm if you would be willing to provide me some feedback. Just can't find em.

I will give up my spots to whomever will let me fish with them. I caught 14 sat night!

Hey Kev. Sent you a PM says it's over the limit. You can fish with me, But can't do this week. I work in Denton and get off at 5pm. Won't make it on time. Next week for sure. will have thurs off from now on. Really want to learn this lake since I live right down the street. Let me know

Just bring your half of the entry fee. And we will be good to go.

Erong thread

first was 8.25 second was 8.10 results for 6/13/13 10 boats and no BIG BASS winner.

I'll be there Thursday need some extra cash...

How many boats fished last Thurs.? What was caught and did Calcutta get broke?

Still on ?

How much longer is this tournament going for

X2 I'd like to fish but no info...

We need to start this again.... How many of u guys would show up?

I'm ready!

okay we would need some one with a scale and a place to launch which would most likely be the marina. Need at least five boats $20 buy in, two people per boat. Winner take all or winner take 80% and second take 20%. If less than five show up winner take all. So who else is in and willing to help with the scales and registration. It would be twice a month in a Saturday evening or morning?

Marina getting pretty tricky

Yeah would probably have to wait till next month till water levels dropped, just seeing how many are interested and if there's enough then will set a date, worst case we move to Arlington lake.

Well I have scales for the Club that we help run. Been waiting for someone to put this on. I might be interested in doing this but right now I have a full plate! Everyone that is interested in fishing this let me know and I will see what we can do to get this started! Let's get some numbers!

After my daughter gets done with her highschool bass fishing I will be putting on some open tournaments out there. If y'all would be interested in that give me some feedback!

Okay good, just make it affordable enough so people show up.

What is the prize for 1st place
