Guys, here's a message from Thomas related to the 2010 TBCOE to be held November 6, 2010

Yes we DO know this is the first weekend of Deer Season, This is the Texas FISHING Forum!! :-)

Mods, we would appreciate you allowing us to keep this announcement here if at all possible.

Texas BassCat Owners...we NEED your vote!


Hey Guys,

My name is Thomas Ross, I am founder and Co-Organizer of TBCOE (Texas BassCat Owners Event). I�d like to start off by saying �THANK YOU� to all of the BCB owners who made last year�s inaugural event such a success. We blew all expectations out of the water when we had 54 boats show up from California, New Mexico, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and of course Texas! I'd like to thank James Niggemeyer for showing support for BCB and our community. By teaming up with James, we were able to donate over $1,000.00 dollars to the Youth With a Mission charity! Of course, the magnitude of this event would not have been manageable without the support of Rockwall Marine and our great sponsors. They provided us with gift bags for all of our participants, our food, and of course a cook (Tommy Yetts!). I would like to sincerely thank our anglers and sponsors who opened their wallets and took time out of their schedule in a tough year and made this event a huge success. Last but not least, Id like to thank Co-Organizer Mike Tadlock. Without his help, this tournament probably wouldn't have made it off the ground. Oh yeah, thanks BCB for making such a great boat and keeping the business in the family!

Now on to business!

This year we have broken it down to two regions and lakes that we feel provide BCB owners the best possible event. From sponsorship appeal, dealer participation, lake facilities, BCB's participation, lodging, and of course fishing conditions. So, without further delay, here are the lakes Bill and Reid Prescott will be defending their title at:

A: Lake Bob Sandlin - East Tx

B: Lake Belton - Central Tx

Please have faith that these lakes both offer strategic advantages when scheduling and organizing a tournament of this size. Please feel free to make suggestions about anything you feel we could benefit from. This is a very limited amount of information to process, but for now we are keeping it simple and narrowing down the lake choices. Once we have a lake we will work on lodging, sponsor incentives, marine participation, and the extent of others participation. Remember, this event is open to any BCB owner across the nation. Looking forward to it guys!

Hey Thomas ans Mike glad to see this post, people have been asking about this event this year. Whatever we can do to help just let us know.

Thomas and Tommy, If you have the tournament lake Belton Let me know if there's anything I can help with. Texas Boat World would love to support this tournament.

I have been a Basscat owner since 1998 and had no idea that you were holding a Texas owner's tournament last year until it was already over. It might be a good idea to do some advertising.

rducky, sorry you did not get in on last years TBCOE. We tried very hard to get the word out and it was posted here on TFF everyday and stayed near the top. The good thing is...you know now about this years Event and we sure do hope you will plan to join us. we all had a GREAT time last year and we would really like to see the same and MORE participation this year. We are glad you found us! Word of mouth is still the BEST and cheapest advertisement! :-)

It was a well run tournament last year. Had a great time.

Hi Rducky625,

Thanks for taking interest in our tournament. Last years inaugural event was quickly planned and had absolutely no budget for any sort of marketing. This year, while we are still starting late, we are trying to get the information out so people can plan and budget ahead for our tournament. Please take a look at your calendar and join us this year!

+1

I hope I can make this one both lakes work for me. I'm not much competition but I will give it a shot and hope some day to attend the OI.

"onefish" Bill, we would love to have you come join us. While the competition is there and fun...some of us have to fall into the category of "any blind hog can find an acorn every once in awhile"...at least that is me. Our Charity will be for a GREAT cause once again and well worth the donation I will be making!

Stay tuned and plan to be with us!!
