CTCT Lake Bardwell Tournament 3-18-2017

That's a really fun lake to fish. Someone ought to land a good one,

Bardwell is my best friend and my worst enemy.

My prediction is Ctct record stringer this saturday.... in Eric's boat probably. See everyone on the water. Literally

This right here.

How bout' some results

It's next Saturday

It's ok Mike I can fill in the blanks , dream team takes the win with 147 lbs

I'm going to come see the weigh in-
I bet there are some good stringers to be seen-
Best of luck guys!

Mott park is closed and will not reopen until April 1st

Hmmmm

Looks like we will have to move it to whitney lol

You have little Mustang and Highview. Highview has a marina there with coffe.

Jerry is out working today so i'll try to clear this up for him. Yes Randy, Mott park is closed and Jerry wanted to have the tournament out of Highview. When he was getting his lake permit the corps told him that they were afraid that Highview could not handle the number of boats and parking. They suggested and agreed to open Mott Park for tournament day only to ease the crowding at Highview. I'm sure Jerry will provide details later.

Iv been working with COE on this for over a month. They preferred for us to use Mott park over high view to help reduce the crowd that highview will have due to it being spring break. Yes Mott park is currently closed but the COE has confirmed that they will open the gate at 5 am on Saturday so that we can hold the tournament there. I do have the COE lake activity permit in hand with approval for Mott park.

I'd recommend anyone going to prefish to use Highview Park.

Good deal Jerry.

Dang, you are on it Jerry...I don't think the COE has cooperated with any one person that well in 30 years.LOL

My thought also-

Yessir, so far the COE of Lake Bardwell have been great! Wish I could say that about a lot of the other lakes.

Any word on where the meeting is going to take place

I have a feeling someone may just pop the record tomorrow. Or at least get very close.

Anything bigger than 42.32 will do it-
Trent I know you have had to come close to that with the pigs I've seen you pull out of there-

Today we had 18 boats compete on lake Bardwell. Congratulations to Michael Houston and Vess Cooks on the win with a 56.90 lb stringer and also big fish of the tournament with a 23.94 lb bluecat. 2nd place was John Dillard and Jerry Dillard with 46.50 lbs. 3rd place went to Randy Miller and Johnny Ward with 19.90 lbs. I'd like to thank the Days Inn of Ennis for pitching an extra $200 cash towards the tournament and a big thank you to the COE of Lake Bardwell for being so helpful on facilitating the tournament. We look forward to to being back to Lake Bardwell in the future and working with you again.

Good job guys!
Congrats to Vess and Mike-

I was out there crappie fishing. Saw a lot of you guys. Great day to be on the water.

Way to go Vess and Mike!
