So who got disqualified halfway thru the 2nd day? Think they were sitting 3rd after say one I’m told The team in second got a call from the TD on day two questioning whether the area they trailered to was accessible from the main river. He said he did access it in practice. Also said he only had one fish so he told the TD to zero his weight so he would take a chance being DQed. Chris I'd ask the angler in question , to my knowledge this is not a factual statement However the info the TD relied on to render judgement was inaccurate , my partner and I were also able to get that far North. There is no mud bar precluding entry to the Sulphur River and the main river is in fact navigable from the mouth of Red River South to the mouth of the Sulphur. At no point at the level it was saturday would there be less than 2 feet of water under my boat. I am not calling you or anyone else a liar except the people that told BassChamps it couldn't be done. They are wrong. ***Also, I do not want to get into a p-match or be viewed unfavorably by Jeff W but based on the trailer texts and the follow up text my interpretation was that if you could get to an area from main river it and could manage time to fish that there was no geographic limit to the North until the Texoma Dam. We chose not to fish north because the water we were able to get to dropped too low in the ditch we had to bust through. At that point we decided to stay in 5 and have more "fishing time", we did poorly and probably should have trailered to a remote area and taken advantage of the distance.

I was just repeating what the angler had posted on Facebook when asked why his weight got zeroed. I have no direct knowledge of what went on.

Think they were sitting 3rd after say one I’m told Not sure about a team sitting in 3rd getting DQ'd but I do know of a guy who had his day one catch DQ'd for nearly killing a few people and pissing off a bunch of others as he ran into a back water on pad while everyone else was single file idling. Where was this Dale ? I run everywhere I can but usually shut down when encountering others. I did run the fake no wake zone in 12 mile yesterday while guys were idling there. Mudd , check your phone Not sure what Dale is but it was the small creek that runs into the McDade backwater area.

That pocket should be off limits like they did past the marina cause of private water. I’m still shocked that guy allows people to fish it

So, they said one cannot enter the Sulphur River from the Red River? Looks pretty navigable to me...

is there a public ramp that provides access to the Sulphur River below Wright Patman, its been 30 years since I've been on that river and we accessed it off private property.

He was legit, but what he was told to do to prove he could do it right then would have ended his fishing time for the day. He was given no options that would allow him to continue based on complaints about how far north he was. The experts that the TD relied on to verify if it was doable were wrong. I know this because I also made those runs Super unfortunate deal, but the dude is not a cheater.

Good Fishing.
