is it on for tonight?
Where do I pay fee etc? I live the area but usually used Pat Lake for bass fishing until recently started using Alvarado and have very little experience on this lake - I have my own boat but wouldn't mind riding along as partner with someone who needs a partner on one of the tournaments to get a feel for how things are done since I've never fished in a tournament before.

I wanted to thank those that were told that there were two people stuck out on the water with fish for just ingoring it and leaving us stranded out on the lake, especially since our big bass was easily 3.5 pounds. I've been fishing this night tournament for months and most everyone has been good people, but not untrailering to come help a fellow boater is pathetic. Not sure if it got back to the peron taking the money, but if it did; as a tournament directer it is your reponsibility to ensure that all your participants are off the water.
I am completely astonished that everyone would let this happen, especially since we made a call in to someone prior to 9:30 and again at 9:36 stating that we had fish and asking to at least get someone to come pick up our fish. As a tournament fisherman, I would stop in the middle of a tournament to help someone out especially at small tournaments like the wed night workingmans. If you didn't hear about us being stranded,then this isn't aimed at you and you shouldn't be offended. As for those of you that did and didn't do anything, you should be ashamed of yourself. The first rule of boating is never leave a stranded boater, you never know if he is having motor trouble or taking on water. If it hadn't been for Mr. Reed, we wouldn't have gotten back to the dock until who knows when, thanks Mr. Reed I appreciate you sticking around and helping us out. I hope everyone the best, not sure if I will be back after this display of comraderie from everyone. A word of advice for the director of this tournament, at at minimum, you should post give out your phone number to participants to allow for them to get in contact when in trouble on the water.

A word of advice for the director of this tournament, at at minimum, you should post give out your phone number to participants to allow for them to get in contact when in trouble on the water. I shouldn't even reply to this but what the heck. I was the lucky one that was called wed night and I did announce to everybody at the weigh in twice that there was a stranded boat on the lake. Twice I announced it!! Yes I could have waited back in line and unloaded my boat again to go render aid, but my thoughts were, it's a small lake they have a trolling motor and no mention was made during the phone calls that the boat was taking on water. As I said I mentioned it at the weigh it twice. My bad maybe I should have taken on the responsibility myself. Another thought that comes to mind is this does not appear to be a safety type issue but more of a I could have won the tournament had I made the weigh in cut off time. It is not the directors responsibly to make sure that all the boats are off the water in time for wiegh in... It is our own. Sometimes $h1t happens weather it's mechanical failure or just bad luck. That does not make it every other fisherman on the lakes fault. It could happen to anyone at anytime. Just move past it and fish on. No reason to not fishing the tournament or give up fishing in general or even call people out on a forum. It's a shame that your boat broke and you may of had the winning sack and I know you feel that people in general let you down. It's a part of life an you gotta move on bro. Don't let the incident make you decide to give up the sport that your are obviously passionate about. Just get out there n win the next one!! Hope to see you out there soon!! ---sack

here is my phone # 817-475-0641. most of the time I do not carry my phone on water usually in the event of bad weather so I can try to keep the guys from getting caught in it. mike stated at weigh-in he was going back to help u. how much more help do u need. it is YOUR responsibility to be at weigh-in on time. sorry u had trouble. it happens to us all, usually at the worst time. this is a good group of guys fishing this tourn. and I think most would do what they can to help. we have had lost keys, broke motors, bad weather and missed weigh-in deadline. no complaining till now

I've never heard of a td making sure all boats get back safe. And as far as someone coming to get your fish and weigh in for you?!?!? Where does that happen? Sorry about your luck, but dang calling us out on public forum is [censored]. I know for sure a trolling motor will get me back and forth across that lake 10 times.

Don't assume that the trolling motor is working. I lost a lower unit at Lake Fork and made it about 100 yds and the relay in my trolling motor burnt up too. You ever try to paddle one of these 20 ft. bass boats? I for one, would have relaunched and went and got them. No one deserves to be stranded on the lake.
