TEXOMA WITH FISHINAHOLIC!!!!

Well Anthony (fishinaholic) was supposed to be Sherry's partner for the tournament that was cancelled. they were going to fish from my docks just not be eligible for the money. When the new tourney was formed it was clear they wernt interested in anyone fishing near docks wasnt wanted. So my boating partner and i decided we would just all fish from the slips. We fished, had fun and saw all the people come by not catching fish. Well we caught a ton of them including Sherry got a 1.11 on a pink jig. Anthony caught a ton of fish on jigs. He can jig fish as good as anyone. He got there at 7 and fished until 10 that night. He should change his name to fishnamaniac! It was a good time! Hope he's able to make it back for the fourth of July! The cold fronth that blew in Saturday morning absolutly affected the fishing a little. It sure did feel good having a cool wind anyhow. It was strange it was right out of the east till noon or so.

Brian:

What a great thing you did for Anthony, by getting him on the slips with you. Also, to pass along all the chenille you did for him to make jigs is admirable.

Don't forget this fall. I put some in a basket for you Saturday, where they will be cornered up for you.

Good to meet you and Sherry. Glad you got young Anthony on some of those big slip fish. Look forward to getting up there and fishing with you 2. I'm positive it will be a more pleasant experience than our last trip to Texoma.

Sounds good, like I said. Anytime your in Dallas give me a shout!

Brian you and Sherry are a class act !!!!!!!!!!

Way to go. Sounds like ya'll caught'em all.

Yeah he's a super god kid, or guy I guess. He turns 16 next month. I asked him if he were going to go for a drive on his bday and he told me he was more interested in going fishing. He also plans to be a fishing guide later in life. Pretty neat stuff. If anyone get's a chance to take him fishing you should do it. You can tell he TRULY appreciates.

If you ever decide to make the trip down here to Centex drop us a line. I'll take you out on the LAKE and even let you put a few fish on the Double "D" carpet.

If I come down your going to need a bigger piece of blue carpet!!!! Thanks for the offer. Maybe we can do that this fall when the weather's a little cooler!

Nice job Brian! Way to go Anthony!

Good job Brian. He'll remember that trip.

We didn't care if anyone fished around docks, they just had to be in a boat. Fishing from a houseboat that is tied up is not the same as fishing from a boat on the outside of a dock. I don't think any dock owner would have wanted one of us tournament guys pulling in their slip and just tie up and fish.

That b/p I told you about paid off. We caught around 70 keepers from it and 4 of our bag came from it. I could see your boat from where we were fishing


Take care,

hey brian i just wanted to say thank you one more time i had a blast i will NEVER forget saturday and i look forward to the next time we can meet up i also enjoyed meeting your family ( great people by the way )

thank you again so much !

I truly agree...
These are certainly 2 of the nicest people I've met in a long time...

I almost met Anthony at LL Barge. Seems like a very spirited and fine young man. We'll fish soon, Anthony! Maybe I'll have ya up at the EM Casino soon.

So Brian, I'm still awaiting my pay for my "personal weather forecasts" for you and the Mrs.

I understand why someone wouldnt want him to fish like that. The part that was sad is he first heard about the tournament from me the first week it was advertised 8 months ago. He specifically called Terrence and told him what he wanted to do. After getting permission he paid just like anyone else. Then he was told different. Oh well.

Yeah so Jerry I could see you guys out there quite a bit. The bp off the rocky point right? Dont forget you told me I get that cord after the tournament!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Just have to let me know when you would like to come up and Ill make good on my favor!

Thanks sir, I still need to get with you about the jigs. Was hoping to see you Friday. It's about time for those grasshoppers to be working on timber!

Will do, Brian.

What color is "grasshopper" by the way? (know it has some sort of green in the combo).

yellow/green/yellow or green/yellow/green

Cool Brian, really cool...

TO ALL the rule say you have to fish from a boat my houseboat is a boat it has two 50 hp mercuries on the the back I do have it in a slip and I untie it and motor all over the lake. The rules didn't say anything about not fishing in my slip it did say that we could not fish near the gas dock and Iam no where near the gas docks.The rules also said that we where to be off the water by 4:00pm friday I ask if this would be a problem since I stay on my boat I was told it would be ok.As for as slip owners not likeing fisherman fishing in there slips it was my slip. The rule about all waters being accessable to all participants of the tournament will I was planing on pulling out of my slip and fishing two other slips that I put structure in they where empty slips and I had talk to the people about doing this and they didn't care as long as I was operating in a safe manner and I think safe boating is one of the other rules.I know for a fact that when I had left my slip that at least two of my fishing buddies at least jokeing said that they would be right in there the point being all waters accessable to all fisherman.I have a live well to kept the fish alive and follow all the rules that the state of Texas puts on all boats.My point is with great respect to Paul and Jerry and all my other fisherman on this forum Iam a seasoned Crappie Tournament fisherman I know and try to follow the rules and if I have any questions about the rules start and formost before I put any money on the line I ask and in this case even pointed it out to the man standing right in front of my boat.I hope and prey that we will get a second chance at having this tournament on Texoma I will support this cause and will plan on fishing it right on the front of my boat.

You the man Doug!

Thanks for the explanation, Brian. I think I have some from either Skip or JIGUM that are that color (yellow/green/yellow) with flash in the tail.

I can see how they resemble grasshoppers and be good in the Summer, well, since that's when those darn hoppers are active!

Going to have to try them on some piles on RR next time I'm out there, or even at the slips.

Thanks for your support Brian
DOUG

Thanks Anthony. My wife and I really enjoyed the boat ride with your Mom and sister hope they did too!Tell them hi! for me and look forward to seeing them again soon.
Doug

See you there
Doug

Where's Anthony with some pictures?!?!?!?!

good stuff man, share the wealth

Doug,

Thanks for putting me up for the tourney, ah pseudo-tourney. That was quite a setup you had prepared for it. I don't know what else you could have done differently.

In any case, it was my pleasure to meet Lori, Buttons, Bela, and Brian's folks. It was also nice to meet Anthony and his family and especially watching the dinkman (aka Anthony) catch those things. J/K Anthony.

Thanks again for the hospitality. We'll fish together soon.
