Listen up Palestine Hybrid hunters. (huntdux06-Martyk8-sanbasscamp-Mo-Iberia-Parkenstein-ChaseNTheBite-Curly Dog-bb1379-Trump903-Bass Fro chop-rbadley-Buff2 and all other TFF'ers. This is the Fall edition of BIG Hybrids Contest. It will start Sept. 1st and run till Dec. 31. There will be two categories (Length) and (weight)in which we will keep up with the top 25 in each category. You can have as many fish in each category that makes the top 25. It must be caught on rod and reel....you can use live bait also. You must take a picture of your fish being measured or weighed and post it. Its a free contest with nothing but pride on the line. I do not expect someone to say where you caught your fish on the lake. But ask that you say what type of bait and time of day it was. I believe this is something fun to keep up with for all. Im open to any other ideas about this. Its open to all TFF'ers that fish Palestine. Best of luck....Starts Sept. 1st till Dec. 31st

hey, great idea!!! count me in of course.

we should also have a monthly get together too where we can compare stories in person. what say ye? maybe at lake palestine resort, they have nice boat docks, a nice porch and deck in the back, and grill too! maybe once this gets going we could go try out some other lakes together some times.

Lake Palestine resort does have everything. Maybe at some point put together like a Hybrid and Sandbass tournament. Never know......just a thought but something i think would work.

Sounds good to me. I'm in.

Great ideas. I will participate, but will be out of town from Sept 27th, through November 2nd. Kinda puts me behind the 8-ball.
But count me in for what ever I can do.

Iam sure going to do my best to catch some... count me in ! Sounds like fun.

I am in too. You may want to move it to October - January. September normally bites....or doesn't bite.

Sounds fun, may give this a try.

Glad you guys are game for this. (Curly Dog-I see your gonna be out of town for about 5 weeks or so. This is why its 4 months long....to give everyone plenty of time to get some fish on the board. I know you lost a few big ones back in the spring. My gut tells me .... your just due for a huge one. (Parkenstein-I know what your say'n bout Sept. can be kinda tuff. But in the past week myself and some others have been stirring up some nice Hybrids pretty good. (Benbrook Guide- It would be great for ya to get over here and fish for some of these Palestine Hybrids. Would be glad to help with any info ... if ya head this way at some point.

I can't seem to post pictures on this site to save my life...lol so any I catch and get a picture of someone will have to teach me how to post or post them for me. Its rough getting old.. lol

Your not alone with that. I know we took some pictures of some nice ones back in the spring that never got posted....cause we couldnt get it to post. I've got to figure this out before Sept. 1st

On the water by 5:30 this afternoon with martyk8. Looking for an afternoon bite for Hybrids. I think we caught everything but a Hybrid. Loads of sandbass .... several Black bass and catfish.. plus one crappie. All fish were caught on Med. size crankbaits and TNT slabs. Just didnt get any nice Hybrids this trip.

Were any of you guys at that boat show at the Horesfarm on
friday night ? Don't know if they were catching or not , but
there were about 10 boats clumped in a small area just about
sundown.
I fished sunday, caught a few hybrids , lots of sandies,
one lost green trash fish , a crappie , 2 species of
catfish, Just a drum shy of a Lake Pal grand slam.
all on a silver prism jiggin spoon , 10 to 17 ft, west
side.


good luck

Mo

Yes HrT and I were out there Friday Mo, and we seen the boat show going on. We stayed south of it about 200 hundred yards and caught loads of fish on TNT 180 slabs. Couldn't see what the boats north of us were using but didn't see anyone catching many fish. All in all it was a fun afternoon/evening.
