I will reserve the right to change captins meeting times and weight in times due to weather or time of the year. So make sure you get a entry form for each tourny and dont hesitate to call for questions. And get to the captins meetings.


Last of all we hope to see you in 2008, just remeber we dont do this for the money its for the friends and fishing, membership dues, is what helps us pay for the fish fries, trophies and everything else that goes into these tourneys. So if anyone knows of any potiental sponsors that would like to be part of the TSA send them to me and I will get them involved. This will help us with bigger trophies and more prize money.

Thanks to Fort Worth Burglar Alarm for donating the 2nd and 3rd place trophies for Texoma.

Thanks to George Good who will be donating 2nd and 3rd place trophies for Tawokani.

I am sure I forgot something and I do invite questions..

See you at Texoma

I wished it was a little closer to Central Texas so I could attend.

I look forward to fishing with y'all this year. I'll be there for the fun tourney if it is held on R.C.

Straight Draw don't be to discouraged about the lack of post. After Christmas all of Texas will put down there guns and be ready to fish.I want to go fishing but deer season is only a short period of time. Bump this baby up about new years and I am sure you will get more response. See ya after deer season gang.

Randy,

are you still the cook?

I'll be fishing the 2008 Tournaments.

What's the chance of getting Lake Belton on the schedule?

Tommy

Will they let a couple of Bass fisherman by the name of Rex fish these once in a while?

Randy, Capn Joe was supposed to call you to see if you need a Bass Fisherman in your boat at Texoma but never got back to me. I guess that what I get in confiding in a guy from LA.

Srait Draw, first I want to thank you for keeping the TSA going and thanks to Randy and everyone else, and many thanks to last years officers, Joe Colman and John Farrell, who did a great job and will be missed. I will be joining again this year and will try to fish more tourny's than last year, tough leaving for sure money to go and compete, especially being full time now. Congrat's to the winners,

These teams seem to stay at the top, good job to all. If you need any help at Whitney I'll throw my name in the hat. Glad to see Whitney on the list again. I'll try and get a sponsor or 2 of mine involved this year in the Whitney tourny and get the pot sweetened. See ya'll on the trail.
Team Redneck

Tommy that sounds great to me. Belton in May anyone?

Bigbass1 work got in the way of me attending Texoma. Rex & Rex are always welcome.
As for frying fish?
I believe that Capt Joe was frying fish when I recruted him to be an officer. Now that he is retiring he can help me fry fish.

Redneck and others
Our largest expense for tournaments is trophies. Sponsorship of the trophy purchases is needed. Any one who wants to sponsor or knows someone who would sponsor all or part of our trophies please contact me.If your going to get the pot sweetend then start right there.

Randy was busy running his company and did not get to fish Texoma, just like I was busy with my band dad stuff. Besides, why would Randy want to put a guy in his boat that only knows how to catch large mouth trash fish?

Speaking of chunkin' lead at the bank, what are you and Big Rex doin' on Jan 19th? I might let you guys on my boat, but understand we might be doin' some deadstickin' along with throwing sassy shad at the banks.
