Add the dates to your calendars. I will post details in a separate post a month before each tournament. There is camping at all the lakes but Amon Carter and we plan to camp at all of them (but AC) so make your reservations.

Whomever picked those lakes did a fantastic job!! They must ACTUALLY fish in North Texas

Thanks! These are great kayaking lakes with trophy bass. Not much better than that!

you can camp at Amon Carter, You would just need to bring tents, food, etc. I've seen many people camping out there.

I'll be at all but the 5/2. really looking forward to helping Todd with this series.
(I'll be TD so he and Chasey can compete)

Count me in!!!

Clearing the calendar! Love these lakes!

Awesome! Agreed, Great Lake choices! Kicking it off at Mineral Wells. We all know how I feel about that! This is how I feel about that.

I'm fallowing mr ninja!

Nice! What a great line-up!
This looks like 100% payout too.....
I especially like your trail dates.....its really good that folks will be able to participate in lots other scheduled events without conflict!

Way to go guys!

Although membership is not necessary for the MSKFC Series, 100% of the $15.00 dues goes 100% to Heroes OnThe Water.

You will also be able to join the club on its members only events.

The next big event is a Brazos River weekend in April.

Awesome selection on the lakes, those are some fun places to kayak fish.

Count me in

It looks like Selma Park does have camping.
I'll call and confirm.

Looks like a great set of lakes, will have to try and make some of these.

+1

Lots of great events this year!

In for the May and August, will miss the middle two.

All of these are scheduled on my Saturday to work except the Amon Carter. So maybe I can make that one lol

I am sure I'll do Purtis Creek and probably a couple of the others.

Thanks for the responses! I'm looking forward to these tourneys. Looks like there might be camping out at Amon Carter but we'll look into it and post info.


Sorry Nathan. That's my problem too. I can't make 90% of the tourneys this season due to work

I'm in

Thanks Todd! We need this type of tourney for the DFW area! Will see you soon @ Mineral Wells!

Ok I may try to make the Purtis creek one! It would be my first tournament ever! How do you do on your best five fish as for as weight and length? Keep and weigh in or pics. measure and release?

Thanks


Troy

Back to the front!

Troy, we use a hawg trough and measure the fish. Take a pic and release. Best 5 fish will be counted. If you want, hit up the Mariner Sails Working man's tournament @ Marine Creek on Thursday to get a feel for tournament fishing. It's free and lots of fun. Plus most of us will also be there on Saturday.. LOL. See you on the water buddy!

I caught my 10.06lb personal best at Amon Carter......... Just saying

Wife said I might be able to make it to this one. Grew up in Bowie and it's been a while since I've been there to fish.

I saw that in your sig the other day. Thought you might want to join us at that one . I think a lot of people will like AG.

Todd, I'm already selling tickets for people to tie off to his PA and fish behind him @ Athens.. LOL.

LOL. Haven't been there in 3-4 months to fish and it was low then in March. Selma can get pretty wild at night if it's like when I was in school.

Think I'll crash at the farm for this one. Cannot Wait!

Oh, and go eat Dos Chilie Mexican afterwards. Best food in town. Ask anyone

Any info on the Lake Fork tourney? I will be coming from Midland, Tx and am trying to prepare as best I can... Thanks!

The date is Aug 8th so make any reservations you need for then. Registration will be the morning of the tourney so no need to meet before that morning. We will be meeting for registration at the Brookshires in Emory at the corner of HWY69 and FM515. It will be a road runner so you guys go fish where you want on Fork and we'll meet for weigh in that afternoon. Weigh in hasn't been set but it will be at the lake. Time hasn't been set yet but being a hot summer event I might start earlier than the others we've had and end earlier. Plan around 4:30AM registration time.

Looks like I might be sleeping in the Truck for this one lol at the station!

We are staying at Chaney Point RV. It is 12 miles from the registration point. From Chaney Point to Brookshires

We are staying in one of the cabins at Chaney Point. We stayed there last year and I thought it was great all around spot. I plan on doing some night fishing Saturday night and not having to drive anywhere is kind of requirement after night fishing.

Troy I haven't decided yet but it's a long drive for me too. Last year a few stayed at Chaney Point RV so I was thinking of staying there.

Will they let you have the registration and weigh in at Chaney?

We did have registration there at last years tourney but Mark moved the weigh in for some reason. I think because it's not centrally located. Brookshires is good because it's on the way for most guys, easy to find, and it gives everybody a central location to start out from. Weigh in has been pretty much decided but haven't confirmed so not mentioning the location. It's centrally located at the lake.

A cabin would be cool if someone wanted to go in halves maybe!

I plan on fishing in this one. I'm new to kayak fishing but I recently bought my first yak and I'm excited about getting plugged in. I have to admit, I'm a little interested to see how challenging it might be to take a pic of a fish on the hog trough in the yak!

Yep this is definitely a North Texas Forum.

Taking the pic is sometimes a challenge. Best advice I can give is practice, practice, practice. Leave the scale in the tackle box and take pictures of every fish you catch on the board. The identifier will be on your hand so you can use that hand to hold the middle of the fish down while shooting the pic. I'll need to see a good view of the mouth against the side fence and one of the tail. For my tourneys mouth can be open.

Not sure why TFF has slanted that way. I wish more of our southern brothers would get on here and share what's going on.

Ive got an RV spot. Looking forward to this tourney!
