Lake Granbury Working Mans tournament

Well good news. I spoke to Rick today. He is more than happy to allow us to do the tournaments out of Stumpy's. Same place we had it the last season we fished. I'm sure he will do the burger basket special for us again. We may also have a couple other sponsors that will be donating to prizes. I'll have more info on that soon. Not positive but I think daylight savings is this weekend. So looking to start Wednesday 3-16-2016. You can pay your entry fee and take off at 5:30-6. Be back for weigh in by 9. Will pay out 1in 5 and big bass is a side pot. Working on entry fee and big bass side pot. Want this to be fun,affordable and worth everyone's time. Thinking $40.00 per boat and $10.00 per person for big bass. Hopefully we will have a big turn out. Please pass the info on to all your friends. If you have any questions or concerns Please contact me. Thank you

So just my thoughts, if fishing solo, 50.00 per boat, partner 60.00 per boat,? Big bass shouldn't be a side pot, 30.00 entry, with 5 going to big bass per team,and 10.00 side pot winner take all, not much difference in price.but pretty much what every other working man's does... just my opinion , also I think there should be a take off at 6.00 , no hole sitting,...

$50 entry sounds good!

I understand. You can fish solo or with partner. If you do partner its $20.00 each. Your option to split the pot or take it all. Not everyone is going to pitch in for big bass. So if you have a partner and they don't want to enter. You still can. In the past there has been a option to do Calcutta pot on yourself or on your team. We've done take off both ways. We have allowed the guys that can get there early the opportunity to get a extra 30 min of fishing. We have also done drawing for your boat number. And take off in order in groups of 5.

Count me in on this Mud hole fest.

So if a guy or team gets there at 5.30 then u can fish at 5.30? But if I can't make it till 6, everyone else is gone and fishing, then what? Who do I pay? What are the tournament hours?

I like Granbury as much as anyone, but the playing field has to be set, not a hodge pod set up,.... I have never heard of the early guys get longer to fish anywhere?

That's the way it was done when I started fishing it. It was 5:30-9. Since most people can't make it till 6 that's where the up till 6 to register came in. So we continued to use that method. We have drawn numbers before. That's perfectly fine. We can make it a even playing field for everyone. We will draw numbers and start taking off in numerical order in groups of 5. Tournament hours will be 6-9. Must be back by 9 for weigh in. There is a designated table set up with someone taking the money. I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers. Was just going to go back to the way it was ran before. I apologize.

No feathers ruffeled, I will make a few of these, just wanted to make sure what was going on

Might have missed this - 3 or 5 fish ,

I'm sure it will be 3 and imma make some of these gonna let the water clear up before I start to donate tho.

It will be a 3 fish limit.

Stetson don't be scared to donate. LOL

I will try to come and donate some this year anybody have an idea on how I can get bit

I will try to make a few so I can donate to DEE group

Please Dee....... You of all people have no problem getting bit on Granbury. LOL

Just a thought but having them Tue or Thurs might bring out more boats since church is wed nights and Granbury has men's rec league softball wed nights too...again, just food for thought

See you guys Wednesday

went out tonite really muddy be careful of the floaters

I understand the thought of Tuesday's and Thursday's. But it's been on Wednesdays forever. I know several other bass clubs have theirs on those days. Several of them have been known to come fish with us. Not only that but I coach my daughters baseball team. We practice on Tuesdays and Thursday's. Sorry

Hopefully we get more than 5 boats like last year. If I'm in town me and Stetson will be glad to take y'all's money!

I'm gonna be moving in in a couple months, I'll definitely fish it. I used to, it was always a good time.

No apology needed. Just brainstorming and trying to help this thing grow like it use to be. Last year the numbers were pretty bleak

Lake looks like chocolate. My concern is all the debris on the water. Lots of big logs floating into the lake from the river. Water hazards for a late weigh in. Just want y'alls info. Should we hold off till next Wednesday. Let some of the debris move on down the lake and maybe have a little safer time making runs down the lake?

you want see me running at dark I have been twice during the day and don't like it!!!!

It really needs to sit a couple of weeks I was there sunday and it was bad

I think it's best we hold off till next week. Let's see how the lake looks. Safer than sorry. I was sent a pic today of a prop. Not pretty. Please contact me if you have questions. Thank you

I saw some huge floaters today , just south of 51 bridge , I'm sure there's more coming and more further south .

I'm sure your right. Hopefully it's a little better next week. If not might need to wait another week. It's just hard with the water clarity. Just can't see it till your right up on it.

My vote is wait until Wednesday the 23rd. Its still pretty bad out there....and I know I won't catch a darn thing with the lake this muddy.

Has anyone asked Rick at Stumpys if he'll host them again? Always had better turnout back then, plus the docks, and it doesn't feel as half assed as it does at the ramp.

Yes we're going to have them at Stumpy's. Rick was more than happy to have us back. We'll wait a week and go from there. Might be 2 weeks before it's safe.

ANYONE interested in fishing tonight? Waters still dirty. Meet up at Rough Creek boat ramp.

I have been sick and have to work tonite so ill be there next week Good Luck tonite if yall fish

Get to feeling better Dee. See you next week.

Will pass also , looks like water pump going out .

Not good. Maybe next week.

So what won?

2 fish @ 7lbs. Only had 2 boats. Expecting a bigger turn out next week. We were trying to beat the storm so I didn't get pics.

I know not not everyone has a boat. Or a friend with a boat. If anyone is in that situation and wanting to fish. Post on this thread. Maybe we can find you a back seat.

wow figured it would be 3 fish for 15+

Hey guys is this still on for next wed? Me and my friend want in. Do we need to sign up and pay in advance or just show up?

show up

It will be every Wednesday. Show up at Stumpy's and pay your entry fee starting @ 5:30. Take off at 6 and back to weigh in by 9.

What's the water looking like

Chocolate milk

Water is just starting to clear up back in some areas of Bee Creek , water temp 65 - 67 , locals are catching small largemouths , sandbass also some crappie .

it was terrible looking water saturday..

Going to play it by ear tonight. Weather is supposed to get nasty this afternoon. But a little worse this evening after 5. If you guys are determined and want to fish tonight. Just let me know your thoughts. Thank you

All the rain seems to be going north. Meet at Stumpy's starting @ 5:30. Let's go fishing guys.

How did this end up?

Not so great. LOL We did get rained out. But there were 6 boats that were ready to go.

I learned my lesson during the Tornado.

That's pretty good may show up for next weeks

Ok guys. Great weather this week. No reason not to show up and fish. Hope to see more people this week.

Guys if y'all are fishing solo and don't mind having a non boater fish with you. I have 2 guys willing to pay their way. They just don't have their own boat to fish from. Please contract me so I can pass you their contact info. Thank you. Hope to see y'all tomorrow.

How'd this go? There would be more interest with results updates etc.

Ben would love an awesome turnout. Most of us have jobs and don't spend 12 hours a day on the forum. I'm sure he will update when he can. The way I see it it you want instant results. Fish them and be part of it.

I think 1 team out of 5 or 6 weighed in fish...everyone else was on dinks or missed em from what I hear ???

Pretty tough Wednesday Working Man Tournament . Always next Wednesday , nice effort guys , thanks for the follow up and congrats to the winners .

I apologize. I have been on call this week. So I've been working late hours. Yes there were 5 boats. 1 boat weighed 2 fish. Big fish was 5.48 I believe. And total weight was over 8 lbs. I'll try to get the picture loaded soon. Thank everyone that came out. I hope to see more guys show up. We're trying to build it back up. Thank you Chris. I appreciate that. It's hard to get on here daily. But I try. LOL

Is there going to be one tonight

Y'all don't run me over tonight. Waiting on big motor parts but I'm still coming.

What time does it start

6:00

Sorry to bug you but is that leave out or on your spot at 6:00

Leave out

Thanks. See ya!l there

Yes we are fishing tonight. Thank y'all for answering the questions. It's take off at 6 and back to weigh in by 9. See y'all soon.

Nice turn out tonight 12 boats. John Staley 1st place 3 fish 10.77 paid $288.00 with big bass 6.31 paid $120.00 2nd place J Rook 2 fish 6.02 paid $192.00

Good turn out , impressive Big Bass , nice job , thanks for the results .

It was a great turn out. Good payout. I'll try to post results as quick and soon as possible. If I can remember how to post pics I'll post then to. LOL

Lake is way up and pulling trash and logs into the lake. ALLOT of debris right now. It's very dangerous. Going to postpone the tournament till next week pending on the debris on the lake. If anyone wants to fish tomorrow. That's fine. I'll come out and run it. Personally I'm not going to fish. Just not worth it. Let me know.

Is tournament on this week?... Tomorrow 4/27...?

That's the plan. Depending on the storms tonight. If it's as bad as they are saying. P.K. and Granbury both will have gates open. That being said there will be a high probability of debris floating in from the river. I'll post a update tomorrow morning as I cross the bridge in town.

water is clearing up a lot faster this time...I'm in tomorrow

Lake looks ok. Still some debris. Just got to be careful. I'll be there @ 5:30. Take off at 6.

Good turn out tonight. 11 boats tonight 3 boats weighed fish. 1st place went to me and Danny 2 fish 6.06 2nd place Weston and Kit 2 fish 5.17. Big bass went to Danny and me 3.45

Are we still on for the working man tonight??

You guys had some great weather last night! How did it go?

Wed was tough. The front didn't help. 9 boats 4 caught fish. Only 1 fish each. 2.82 won big sack and big fish.

We're fishing tonight guys. Come out and try your luck on some dirty water. Take off at 6 back by 9 to weigh in.

We have a open seat if anyone wants to fish. Just pay your way.

How'd it go?

I don't have my book with exact weight written in it. I will post exact numbers tomorrow. I apologize. Of the top of my head. 1st place was 7+ lbs 3 fish. 2nd place had 1 fish and he also won big bass. Fish were biting even though we got rained on. LOL Allot of shorts were caught. Only 4 boats had keepers I believe.

Lake is looking good. Tomorrow evening I'll be at the ramp by 5:30. Come on out and let's have some fun. Hope to see y'all tomorrow.

We are going to try and make this one, $40 team + $10 a person Big Bass option like Saturday right? Thanks, Bill

Is the tournament for this Wednesday going to be cancelled because of the rain or will it be re scheduled?

It will be cancelled. There is too much debris in the lake. Lots of logs floating and several just under the water surface that you can't see. Just too dangerous.

good call

Sorry guys. Due to the gates being open at PK and Granbury letting water out. There is allot of debris on the lake making it dangerous to run in the dark. So we will postpone the Wednesday tournament this week. We will be having our Saturday tournament this sat the 11th. At Rough Creek Boat Ramp. Take off at 6 am back to the ramp by 1 pm. Any questions give me a shout. Thank you.

Ok guys. It's Wednesday. Time to do some fishing. Hope to see the usual group. Water's looking good. It's hot out but the fish are still hungry. I'll be there by 5:30.

Thank you to the 2 guys that called about open back seats today. Thank you.

Want to say THANK YOU to everyone that came out tonight. Really good turnout. Want to say THANK YOU to Brazos River Outfitter for helping me out with the weekly tournament.

When are you going to have the Saturday tournament

Posting on the monthly tournament thread now.

Ok guys...... This Wednesday we are fishing a little later. We will fish till 9:30. Gives everyone a little more time on the water. Might end up doing 6-10 Wednesday night's. But we will try this first 3 1/2 hours.

We have a guy that has boat issues. Looking to find a back seat Wednesday. If anyone is fishing solo or partner can't make it. Please let me know. Thank you.

Don't forget guys tonight we're going a little longer on fishing time. Fishing till 9:30. Must be back to the ramp by then. Hope to see another big group tonight. I'll be there @ 5. Any questions give me a shout. Thank y'all.

Are you doing this tomorrow night? Still 6-9:30

Yes sir!

Honestly I don't think the extra 30 min did any good. Just makes it harder to see when I'm doing weigh in. We'll do it again tomorrow. And I'll determine if we will continue the 9:30 weigh in.

Ok guys, it's Wednesday. You know what that means. It's time to fish. Rough Creek boat ramp @ 5:20. If we have another big group we will draw boat numbers. And take off single file. It will make it safer and easier. Hope to see everyone there.

Best turn out yet tonight 28 boats. Also a new incentive to come out and fish with us. Any time we have 25 or more boats Brazos Rivers OUTFITTER is going to donate a TS 600 52 qt LIT COOLER to give away to someone that fished the tournament. These are awesome coolers.....
