I'm thinking about coming down for the LOP tournament. Probably be fishing by myself. Will I just have to be careful what fish that I target so that I don't have to quit after 25?

That's a good idea if you have livescope.
You only need 7 good ones.

Yes sir! Your done once you get 25!

We are thinking of fishing this event. Driving over from Fort Worth on Thursday night and prefishing Friday. Any body know of a good place to stay where the boat will be safe at night? Don't need anything fancy

Be careful out there Friday! Gonna be sporty! Bullfrog is about the only place I recommend. 903-755-2712.

Several folks stay at the place at the bridge on 155 also but I don't know the name of it offhand. Its only about 1.5hrs from me so we usually drive back and forth unless it's a 2 day tournament. Should be a great tournament on an awesome lake!!!

I take it the tournament is this weekend? I looked online but can't seem to see anything about it.

Info is here http://www.crappieanglersoftexas.com/

Might try https://www.facebook.com/ROB-and-DEES-Cabins-2529826310576584/ Have to book thru airbnb

Or http://lakeopinesrv.com/ They have motel rooms also.

Don’t forget to bring your kite 🤪
It was brutal today and tomorrow ain’t looking any better.
I believe Saturday will be like it was today.

Can someone please remind me why I do this?

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Water coming over the bow makes for a brutal day! LOL
I hope the forecast is a little closer to the actual conditions Saturday. Might not have to be strapped in the seat then.

Bullfrog Marina, without a doubt, never had any issues while I stayed there with my boat. Not many cabins, but they're literally just feet from the ramp. And the price is good.

Paul Obier proves again while he's the best in Texas! His suggestion for Jan on LOP was don't go!

NW wind in winter on LOP is brutal. Anything over 6mph is gonna be a grind IMO! Little man said he's sleeping in tomorrow, told us to have fun!!!

]I didn't

I think you can sign up online until 6pm if your wanting to fish tomorrow and haven't already!

Congrats to Dan and Kale for an awesome win on a brutal day of fishing! Biggest turnout in CAT history. 59 teams between the 2 divisions. 27 in D1 and 32 in D2. So awesome to see competitive crappie fishing growing in Texas! We managed 3rd place with 13.74 and second in the crappie masters side pot. We lost a few fish today and that probably hurt us some but we were happy to have what we had! LOP crappie are scattered and spooky! I’ve had to cancel or reschedule my last 4 trips there! Got out some Thursday and wasn’t excited but was hoping it was the wind that had em spooky. They just aren’t many around and they’re real spooky!! Still a fun day. Cudos to the CAT board for another awesome tournament!

Look forward to Sandlin!
