Well the first annual TEAM TFF LAKE FORK GUIDES tournament is in the books and we had a BLAST!!! It was a long 3 days at the lake, but somebody had to do it!

After visiting with the folks at Lake Fork Marina, Guides, Tiffany�s and some of the other businesses in the area, it looks like this event help generate about $14,000 in revenue for the Lake Fork community, in what is historically a slow month for these businesses!!!

My goal was to get 20 guides boats booked and to raise about $10,000 for the lake businesses...Thanks to every one of you we were able to get 23 guides boats out and smash our revenue goal!

These events don�t happen without allot of help and the following individuals and companys stepped up to make this first one a BIG success!

ChrisR - Big Green Egg
Kathy - Santone Lures
Brian Spencer - Temple Fork Rods
Cam - Lake Fork Marina
ChrisG - Gene Larew Baits
Mark Howard - JC Outdoors
Chato - Marks wingman on the TD side
Hole Shot - My wingman!
Just Wingem - Our TFF Moderator support
Last but certainly not least - THE TFF FAMILY!

Our plan is to move these around to other Lakes in Texas if we can find the guide base...But the second week in January is going to be our date for Lake Fork and next year I want 30 guide boats and to raise $20,000! Thanks again to everyone for your support!!!

Take care,
Stax

We need to add a Friday night crawfish boil next year....

Stax i talked to Lloyd at xcite baits he wants to be in this as sponcer next year. he said remind him when it starts up agin so now we have xcite baits to add to the growing list.

Sounds like you guys had a good time as well... Nice work!

Thanks again dude. All you guys are great!

I guess we all have forgotten to thanks you Stax! This was a great event...good people...good smack talk...good times...Great weather!?! And some dam good fishing....

I took some good things from this event...

1- I met the great and almighty Stax
2- that a BPS MPH suit will wear out after years...
3- Ronnie Kelley is not the shortest guy on Lake Fork..

Again Thx Stax for a great event and we will work on this year round to make it a
A true event at Fork that all will want to be a part of...

Stax...your reward for this will be a day at the Bell....on me....Set it up and say when....

DUDE that is VERY generous..!...I was gonna be happy just going striper fishing with ya!

Just get 30 "2 man teams" to start putting back $1 a man per day as of today. Then next year y'all will have $21900 and y'all can pick 30 guides give them $500 each. Y'all will still have $6900 left over for lodging, meals and partying..

Thanks to all you guys, it was fun!!

It was great to meet you guys and I can say from the TD standpoint this event was fun to run. Next year I will try to come down earlier and get in a day of fishing unless the tackle show is running.
In this event everyone was a winner. Guides made a payday, anglers had the opportunity to compete for great prizes and learn something along the way. Local business gained much needed revenue in a tough economy.
Thanks STAX for bringing me on board.

Stax - as I said at breakfast this morning...' Your a good man Charlie Brown'

Rodney - you are in charge of crawfish next year. Thanks buddy!

No problem....I ate 9lbs last night for dinner. I can think of 3 local restaurants around Fork that could do it....

Stax,I was not able to attend the tournament this weekend but from what i read, everything was a great success and fun had by all.
Even though i was not there i would like to thank you for promoting and heading up the event. Maybe i will be able to attend next year.

Sounds like it was a success! Sorry I could not be a available for this.

I find the top five weights. Are these the only teams that weighed in fish?
