Challenge activities worth noting:
On Thursday, March 1, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, Wild Carp Companies, USCARPRO Magazine, and the Lake Fork Sportsman's Association are arranging for demonstrations on the latest Carp & Buffalo fishing techniques and guest speakers who are experts on rough fish species and the emergence of rough fish tournaments in Europe and other parts of the US. The Saturday post-tournament awards ceremony will take place at 2:00 pm. Both the outreach event and awards ceremony will take place at Oak Ridge Marina. The public is invited to both.
The public is also invited to visit the various peg sites during the tournament to watch the Challenge anglers in action. The peg site information will be posted at Oak Ridge Marina after the drawing.

Team BigCarpTackle.com is in.
I am looking forward to it...anyone fished any of that 7 miles of bank yet? Its going to be cool to see what comes out...
Can sobeone post a Google map of the 7 miles of bank?
Any chance we could get a insurance policy on a lake record as apposed to tagged fish?
Dave and I already have some plans...
Gonna bust out the triple xxx glow bait... Can we get a Google maps or Google earth shot of where we will be fiahing Bank space secured yet....I am looking forward to this tournament Is it on SRA land? Want to get the boat out there and start mapping swims :-) ok cool, also its not NEW YORK so dump that 2 rod rule...this is TEXAS we get up to 100 hooks here.
that means no USCARPPRO sponsors or advisers or writers correct? wow, sorry if asking questions before I send off my money upsets you guys. I am not asking to know the swims I was just asking where the 7 miles of bank access is I could careless about pegs.
don't get so defensive. and yes team bigcarptackle.com is in 100% No one is looking forward to this thing more then me I want to win it and I plan to :-) I have wanted to see a tourney on fork for years the fish we will catch will blow this lake wide open and its going to be a big deal when word gets out.....its not just bass that are trophys here.... Karl you know me better then most I went fishing, I want to know the location of those 7 miles don't want to be neck deep in Gators and wild hogs and Marsh I know it has to be on sra land i have explored it remember i have been fishing and talking about fork for years! I am mostly just anxious to see where it will be... Ok that is badazz ... long sleave on a orange shirt. . It needs a gun.....put a .44 Cal gun in there and it will be the perfect shirt...it is Texas and we all love our guns! the fact its a buffalo and not a carp is kinda cool as well. [quote]
I have been really patient, we are closing in on the deadline to get in on the cheap price, but we have no more details. I just want a general area so I know I won't be sitting in a marsh or trying to deal with a unreasonable about of timber.
and can we use boats...if there are a ton of trees using a boat could save a bunch of fish John any update on the pegging map?? Karl your a bit out of the loop no biggie, I had a conversation with Jason at wcc monday over the phone and he said he would try to have a map up Tuesday and that he has gotten several calls from people asking for the same thing My original concern was the 7 miles of bank access you had gotten from LFSA that I assumed was SRA land. dude I assumed right, Jason of the WCC told me you guys are looking into RV parks and some bridges now you have to play it by ear as the water level is so low and subject to change also a couple of the members of the LFSA had volunteered land Jason told me he would get a map up of the general areas that where going to be pegged he also told me I wasn't the only one that had called and asked about it. I was just asking Jason if he had a chance to do that as he said he was going to post it here on the TFF and on the WCC website..
You have a ton of carp anglers close to that lake we all know there are big fish there but the reason many of us don't fish it is because lake of bank access. So yes many of us are interested in the locations of the pegs.
Fork and Town Lake can not be compared Fork is a 27,000 acre lake in the middle of where Town lake is a public park with pretty much unlimited bank access...
Awesome Thanks Jason! I fished a coouple of those.
So Zach.................You seemed so interested and were so full of questions and suggestions. You signing up for it or what............. Or were you just doing a little cyber fishing all along  Be good to see another Team BCT in the list of entrants Some great landscape there for you to take photographs of too

I was going to fish it with dave, he saw the bivy rule and booked a trip to the Bahama's with his family. Then I talked to AL and was going to fish it with him but JD decided he was in so I just decided I would come and hang out with everyone instead.

That is hilarious After the hardships some of his competitors had to endure in some of his tourneys (I can guarantee there are some guys who fished the Worlds in 2005, that would have given their right arms to have even had a bivvy to take up or down)  I thought you and him were hardcore carpers . In the words of Billy Ocean............When the going gets tough (Or potentially uncomfortable) the tough don't bother !!!

I have to say I was wrong, I didn't think you guys could pull it off with out the private land I have fished fork plenty of times and just didn't see how it would work.
hats off to seems like it is turning out really well.
I don't mind eating crow and love being wrong if it helps grow carp fishing in Texas.
