Where...lake Murval Marina.

When... Saturday April 27th.

What..A fun tournament "potlicker classic" 7:00- 12:00 followed by a Get together/ fish fry...
This is a family friendly event for the whole family.

We had a great time last year with this event and are looking forward to another great time this year...if you are interested in comming pm me or call me (903 918 6653).

I have two extra cabins and Three RV sites reserved and available for anyone who wants to stay the night....many of us will be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday....you will need to bring all your own bedding and personal items if you stay in the cabins ...they are clean but sparse of amenities.

Potlicker classic details-- 25.00 per boat 7 fish stringer and a 5.00 big fish pot...you can have as many people in your boat as you can legally hold... heaviest stringer takes all...some of these details ars subject to change ...this is a no pressure tournament mainly bragging rights and a little folding cash.
If you want to fish the tournament, and or need a boat partner speak up and lets work all that out.
Also comment about what you may want to bring as far as food and supplies go.

I will be bringing my fish fryer and oil...my wife is going to make up some pies.

I know there is some unfinished business from last year ( something about a tarter sauce contests )

I have not fished Murval in 30 years and never fished a tournament at all.
I am really thinking about coming down to meet everyone.
Tell me a little about how the tournament works.

It's just pretty much a bragging rights tournament....heck, I don't even remember if we had an entry fee last year. T-Box and Hickory Nut won but I don't know what they won.....they did all the cooking so it worked out real good for the rest of us. Come on down and fish with us...Avinger's not that far away. If you mostly fish LOP, ya might want to re-spool with some heavier line....

Troy, I'll bring a pot of beans.

I updated the tournament details.

Planning on bringing paper plates and paper towels. I also have a 2 basket Cajun fryer and peanut oil I can bring. Best I remember the only thing crapicat talked about more than me front ending him was his tartar sauce recipe being good. Looking forward to trying that out this year. I guess the plan is to try and catch enough on Friday for the feed on Saturday like we did last year?

I will have the ice cream fixins and several bags of Thermocline Monkey Business Mr Frys. Your Murvall fish just can"t resist em.

Since when did Tbox start making them monkey Milks in Citrus color???

Yea, I�m not much on fishing tournaments, of any kind, but I do make exceptions,on occasion, and this is one of those occasions. Good ole Etex fun and hospitality...we just call it a tourney to get Hickory Nut to show up and make that homemade ice cream! We do have some good cooks that show up, but Troy is too skinny to qualify!

It�s easy...bring a few bucks to throw in a pot,go fishing, as you usually do...or if you are more serious, follow Tbox around (he always beats Troy to those hog holes), or follow Bush Hog around (he has the sweetest wife, and I don�t know what she sees in him...must be those big fish!) then catch some fish(or not, it�s your choice), weigh some if you want (either way, they are lunch)...listen to the big fish BS (compliments of Tbox/ Troy/) and see some big fish pics compliments of Bush Hog(he always has the best pics,( photo shop maybe??), then try some excellent Tartar Sauce (compliments of Crapicat) with your fish, listen to some more BS from Hickory Nut while he makes up some outta sight homemade ice cream (or whatever he calls it). Also, don�t forget Misuss Troys pie...she is WAY nicer and a MUCH better cook than Troy! Honestly, I am not sure HOW she puts up with him, with all that bragging about how great his Tartar sauce is....Jeez, he just needs to stick with cleaning fish!

Hope this answers your question...incidentally, I hear ole Tbox and Hickory Nut may have some competition, from a few folks...stay tuned!

Looking forward to coming again, last year was great. I do have a back seat open if anyone is interested. Just let me know.

It wiil be good to see you again.

Well things seem to be coming together, I have about 20 people on the list who are coming, not including extra family members....I still have a couple of cabiins and three rv sites reserved for anyone wantimg to make a weekend of it...

Me and Dave should be there. I still owe your boy a ride in the #28 boat.

Is there anything you need us to bring?

Steve and I smacked em good today. We took all the 2 pounders and staked them out under some docks......bring it!

What nights are the cabins for Troy and how much? Little man said it's been a while since he's beat up on Murvaul crappie and he might need to come remedy that!

come on we would love to have yall.
The cabins are for Friday and Saturday night....ive got a few options for yall, holler at me.

Vacation has been requested. We will be there on Friday. What can we bring?

Bring your bedding, towels, toiletries and anything else you think you might need to survive....also chairs...
Maybe a coffee pot.

Bush Hog , I'm sure you remember the old couple fishing the bridge a lot on lake x . we would be interested in coming not fishing , just meeting the guys put some money in the pot and eating. Pass it on

Please do join us!! Yall are more than welcome to come ..thats what its all about!!!......I have always wondered who you are and would love to meet y'all.

Yes sir, by all means we would love to have you and the wife join us and ya'll are welcome to fish with us too (if you'll spot me 6 fish and give me a 30 min head start....lol).

Thanks , Just the fellowship.

Thanks!

I am new to the fishing forum but I want to come to the gathering. I can make some hushpuppys.

Great....come on!

I don�t have a coffee pot. I�m not a coffee guy. I�m not old enough for that stuff.

What else?

Well Tbox said for us to bring our A game, whatever that means.

If somebody needs a place to stay holler. Me and little man have a large cabin and its way more than the 2 of us need!!

I dont know if I have a backseat yet..

Anybody got one open?

And how many people will be there Friday night?

I'll bring all the propane. 4 bottles be enough?

Looks like around 18 or so will be staying the night Friday.
" Just one more" said he had a back seat open...
Propane bottles are welcome.

Roachie, I�ll be there Friday night (Thursday night as well)...anyone want hamburgers? I got plenty of that 95% custom ground, hand raised, grass fed beef...I just need to know how much to bring...

I�ll bring burger buns onions and sliced cheese for burgers Friday night.

I will be there Friday night. I can bring some cokes.



I

That would be great....are you wanting to stay the night and/ or fish on Saturday?

I already got the charcoal and grill ready to cook whatever.


Now I just gotta clean my truck out.

Since Slewfoot is going to be there, I have four pair of chest waders that I can bring. Two pair leak around the crotch. Whoever uses them will be on their own if they don't leave before the BS gets that high

It's not me you gotta worry about! Anybody that lies before little man is already beat!!!

He did tell me once to keep my eye on TBox cause he thinks that dude's full of stories!!!

I will be there Friday morning under the bridge and then I will come to the pavilion. I don't think I will spend the night but will fish Saturday. If someone has a backseat available I would be glad to use it. How many people do you think will be there? Because I'm making the hushpuppys from scratch.

Better plan on 40 to 50 to eat fish Saturday. Looks like a good turn out this year.


Where you live at?

Nacogdoches

Packing up today, headed that way in the am. I�m all about a burger tomorrow night. I�ll bring a crock pot of my �Cajun Surprise�
HN, I�ll take a pair on non-leaking wafers
We are going to have great weather again this year 👍🏼
Troy, tell the boss to make me a cherry cheesecake to go
Too bad redsnappa can�t make, his crawfish chowder is the BOMB
One final note, I�ll bring my scales for weigh in, please bring crisp dollars for your entry fee, the ones we took home last year looked like it had been circulating thru the �Cartel� for several years

No, they had been buried in a mason jar for several years.

Printing up some fresh $$$ today just for you turkey!!!

Did the same thing when I was in ETex...now I got crisp new money, straight from the bank! Guess I�m gonna have to share some, and yes Tbox, make extra...cause I will be in for a couple bowls. And don�t let Hickory nut forget the ice cream maker or the fixings...

So Troy, want to ensure I show and donate NEXT year?? A take home Cherry Cheescake from your missus WILL ENSURE that happens...I am even game to pay her for oven time plus the ingredients! My family group just loves cheesecake! And she makes them right! Oh yea, don�t feel ashamed just cause she can cook and you, well not so much!,,

Looks like I'm gonna have a grandson there with me.

Ok, so there are two of us here right now, enjoying the sunset, and we have Two coffee pots with us and plenty of coffee...beautiful weather and beautiful fish...too bad I dont know how to post a pic! I guess we found those fish Bush hog had staked out! Life is grand! Fish full of eggs...

I ALMOST feel bad ......... me and ole crapicat marked at least 4 of bushhogs holes with gps coordinates tonight. We are really getting the hang of this potlicking thing

Some nice fish Crapicat caught yesterday on Richland Chambers.

Here's their pics.... Is that a catfish are hiding down there on the bottom?

There are Two catfish Troy, we do not discriminate! Actually, I was upset there were not bass in the pic, just due to th fact there is a night bass tourney on the lake tonight!!!

Whatever you say, PLEASE don�t mention that we are gonna watch Bushog leave the ramp in the morning and that I brought my Best pair of Bono�s!

Ok, you want to talk about STORIES??? I got THE STORY TO TELL EVERYONE THAT SHOWS UP. It is the story of how ole Crapicat got put into n the Wall of Shame! You haven�t lived till you have heard this story...I still laugh at myself for this transgression!

I'll bring my recording devices..

Good job, not many folks around here keep the little fish. They need to be thinned out a little.

Daing you took the words out of my mouth

Dang!!!

Ole Tbox sent me a pic of a whopper a little bit ago...I sent him a pic of a bunch of keeper crappie designed to feed the masses! Yeee

Did you catch them deep are in the shallow?

Awesome get together Troy. First class.

Me & the wife want to thank everyone at the fish fry . The food was delicious and for being so courteous to a couple of old crappie fisher persons.

Honored..
