I'll be in Venice doing the same thing!

Dang it man your on over-flip Johnny!! WANTING A LITTLE "FRIEDLY" competition

Wish I could make some of these

Nothing to it, jump in truck hook up the boat and get after it... may be having a cooper tourney soon

Trying to wake some of these texas catfisherman up Sam without being on tawakoni....

I will de there. Do I count.

I have to work for a minute every Saturday morning. I can proably make one on Cooper since its a few minutes away.

Where is everybody??? Is there another Ray Roberts with a Pond Creek ramp somewhere I don't know about? Haha!

Anybody show up?

Just me...

[quote=Drawout]Trying to wake some of these texas catfisherman up Sam without being on tawakoni.... [/quote. Everyone's dreaming of Whoppers on Lake Tawakoni LOL if I live down there we would do some fishing on other lakes who won???

2 teams !! we won with like 30 lbs

????????????

Yall must have been using invisibility cloaks.... There was nobody there at the times and location posted in this thread!

It was a bit confusing on which ramp, I originally went to the ramp on the left but figured out it was actually the ramp at the end of the road on the right . Were you in a white vehicle ??

That's a bummer. Id really like for the catfish tournament scene around this area fire up, but it just seems like nobody wants to fish them..
Personally, I love fishing tournaments, but when only one or two teams show up, it's not that interesting.
Congrats on the win Johnny.

Thanks and I'm with you it's shocking that we can't have a 30 team average as many people live within a couple hours from the lakes

still early draw out most of your bunch is spinning out watching a hunting video
Comet goes down waiting for deer season.... If I lived down that way I would fish them.... and nice win!!!

Im with drawout. Im pretty shocked that the DFW area lakes aren't drawing 20+ boats per tournament. I know there's a lot of catfisherman up that way that need to come out to some of these.

Congrats on the win Drawout! It is unfortunate that only 3 teams showed up to fish this tournament and 2 of those teams went to the wrong boat ramp, per what was posted in this thread. It would help if there was better communication, it might even help to get more people to attend. I'm not trying to step on any toes or what not... I'm just a guy that saw this thread and thought it'd be fun to fish in this thing. Maybe I'm wrong, but I googled around the ole interwebs for more information about this and didn't find anything except for on here. If there's a website with more specifics and information about this trail, please point me in the right direction or post it up for all to see.
Again, congrats on the win and good luck in the future.
