I was thinking of getting a little tube fishing tournament going at one of the LBJ grasslands lakes. Is there any interest in this? I'd figure we would need at least 10 guys at say 20.00 each. Top couple places pay. Give me your input.

I may not fish the tournament but I would most definitely help out anyway I can this year. count me in to help out with it since I live up here

If you would include bass buster style boats. You can count me in

my thoughts would to be let enter, the different style of boats listed here. inflatable pontoon, float tubes and bass buster style boats. After all the forum thread is floaters and paddlers

Yeah that's a good idea, just no kayaks because there's tournaments for them already?

I was thinking to stay away from motorized boats?

I may not fish them cause tourneys aren't my style, but I am like Terry, I will help out. Been fishing the grasslands for 15 years and have a pretty decent hand on the area, if I may say so. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help out.

Will do, thank you Sir

If this gets going good and successful, might consider doing medley style tournaments. Do a different lake each tournament. Quite a number of good sized lakes up here to keep it interesting.

I like that

Lots of options on the way to do it. Number one thing to do real quick I think Clifton would be to set up some basic ground rules.

I'll get something together and post it.

and if we are going to do it on the grass lands what are the rules they have. I can help with that. The district ranger goes to church with my sister.....

I don't think they have any rules against it. I've done kayak tournaments out there. I'm guessing its the same

Yea. And how winner will be determined. Is it gonna be a Big Fish tourney? Hauling a sack of 5 fish will get difficult. Photos of your fish caught is what a certain bank fishing trail does, but some people may not be comfortable carrying their phone or camera into the water. Also, you might consider fly fisherman since one lake, Windmill Lake, is fly fishing only. Could be a special tournament for them there. These are just suggestions. I honestly love this idea of a tube tournament out here. Love it when the grasslands gets some well deserved attention.
