Wanting to have a bass fishing tournament at oak point pond. Located in Plano. Saturday June 14th. 7 am- 11 am. $20 registration which will be used towards 1st and 2nd place pot. Person with heaviest 2 fish stringer takes 1 st place, 2nd place to the following person. Anyone in?

This sounds pretty cool. If it happens, I will be in. Having never fished Oak Point I have no idea how I will do, but this should be a great chance to meet some fellow TFFers and make some new friends.

Also, if we don't get enough people to do a tournament, we could just make it a TFF Bank Fishing Forum meet up. I know fshing84, but would love to meet some of the other people who post on this forum.

If I didn't have to make my presence known at the office from 9-1 on Saturdays... I'd come play... here and at every other tourney in existence since they are all Saturday morning almost! Guess I'll just stick to hoping for friendly people with open back seats for Friday night teams tourneys haha

I'm hoping at least 5-10 people would be in.It would be nice to meet a couple tff members. I guess we can wait until Saturday and see how it goes. Oak point has some nice bass.

If enough people are in we can possibly change the time to evening?

I have a wedding to attend Saturday night so I am morning only, but hopefully enough people can show up at one of the two times to make it happen. While Oak Point is bigger than Bethany Lakes, if this is a success maybe the second tourney/get together can be held at the five ponds at Bethany.

Good luck guys. I've unfortunately not had a lot of success at oak point, I've only caught bluegill and baby crappie. Also there are tons of snakes there, so watch where you step.

Don't change it on my account. I already have other stuff to do after work Saturday! haha just expressing my envy of Saturday morning tourneys. I've already rearranged my schedule to open up Friday nights for the lake Lewisville tourneys

I've caught decent bass at Oak point but only a few, most were very small but they just need time to grow up.

This one wasn't bad.

I caught lots that were this size on a small rooster tail and a small minnow sized crankbait. Maybe in a few years they will be big there is lots of forage in Oak point for them to eat.

+1 on the snakes.....they are everywhere.

Everything I have seen within easy reach of the shore were dinks, did see several large blow ups but they were way out in the middle of the lake. That fishery is fun to fly fish just for kicks.

If you were going for quality and quantity, as well as ease of access, it wouldn't be my first choice of water body in the area lol. Chigger sare bad this year too form the long winter and mild spring/summer so far, protect yourself if you go out there in that grass or you'll regret it horribly!

I've only fished this place a handful of times and I've been skunked each time. I might be interested in competing though. Morning is always better for the bite. Just wondering, but how will the fish be weighed? Is there going to be a person to come around or, will we need to keep them on a stringer until the end of the tournament time then have them weighed in?

I've caught good sized bass at oak point. I've also been there several times and have not caught a thing, that's the challenge. A person will come around hourly weighing what's been caught then it can be released. Hoping people show up. Next time it can be at bethany lakes.

You should just do CPR... its pretty a weekend fun tourney and not going to be monster fish, length and photo's with identifiers handed out day of should be more than sufficient and spare the fish any harm/trama beyond what is needed to get photos with them.

You lost me at putting the fish on a stringer until hourly weigh-in. I would highly recommend CPR with identifier pics. I think this may help with participation and make it easier to run the event.

I may be in for Saturday. Will you give an update on the expected participation?
