Are guides allowed to fish the tournament?

Sounds like a good time.

So it looks like Guides are allowed and since its out of Big Chief's , I would put my money on Jason Barber taking home some money!

I'll be at this one. Looks like the same set up as the annual Lake Fork tournament and I always have a blast at that one. Never fished Cedar Creek but have heard it has a good population of blues. Anyone else fishing this?

bump

hope to see everyone there the 334 bridge is out of service until tuesday maybe friday

yes

jason not going to be able to make tournament

Team catastrophic is there!

Haven't got to fish one in a few years...but looks like I will make this one.

Probably won't even catch a fish...but oh well!

You had "Guaranteed Payout" in your pamphlet but you cut all the payouts to half of what was printed. You may have a difficult time getting those participants to your Tawakoni tournament.

Your kidding,half?I was going to fish the Tawakoni tourny but, If this is true IM OUT.No way am I going to get burned like that cause some one would have a problem.Sorry to hear that news but its good to know now before I invest the time and money.

Bet there were lots of angry people who paid $125 entry fee! Glad I ended up stayin' home for this one.

results?

20 lb Blue took over all "Big Fish". He was suppose to win a new boat, motor & trailer but bought him out for $2500. Second place was an 18 lb Blue. It was a 2-day / hourly payout with a range of 3 - 12 lb fish winning money on the hours.

"Guaranteed Hourly Payouts" were listed as:

1) $300
2) $200
3) $150
4) $100


But they only paid half of that and didn't announce that reduction until the tournament was over and they passed out checks.

A little "Tom Foolery" that they waited till the end to announce.

Glad I didn't fish it....I would not be surprised if someone took legal action.....

Great way to ruin a reputation quick and no explanation WOW!!!!!!

Anglers were told about lowering payouts because payouts were based on 200 entries and only 42 anglers entered. To help compensate for the lower payouts, anglers were provided with a gift certificate to the next event based on their ranking along with concert tickets. The overall winner was given the option of cash or the boat and 'HE' chose the cash.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the rest of the anglers that have shown their support even though we had to reduce payouts due to lack of entries. Many have requested for me not to stop these events because there was such low numbers and want us back again next year.

Some have even as gone as far as to invite me back on a fishing trip with them. They have offered to help promote the event so that next year this event will be bigger and better.

Thanks to all, God bless and wishing you all the best of luck fishing.

Anglers were not told until after tournament when checks were written.

Based on that flier posted it would show that the garanteed payouts promised were not payed. Bass tournies do this but always had the fine print that said payouts were based on # entries. I dont see that on this ad or webpage. I only see that anglers have a chance of winning more money than promised. I dont like this kind of advertising but what do i know about a tournament.

I also did not fish this tournament so i dont know what was said to anglers at sign-in
