About time for another EXCITING bankfest at the Vine.........Anyone interested? Say like 4pm to 2 am for Sat..


Same as always.....OakGrove Park areas .......unlimited rods........$20 man ($10 stringer/ $10 Big Fish)..........meet n greet .......gear comparing........ Grilling n eating...........Newbies and Kiddos welcome............

ok...... you talked me into it

I vote for a 12 hour tourney 6pm - 6am

- $20 per man - 2 pots: Big Fish Pot(Catfish) and 3 fish stringer(Catfish) Pot $10 per - If we have 15 or less paid participants it'll be winner take all per pot -- if we have 16 or more each pot will pay 1st/2nd...OakGrove Park (from sandbass pt all way around to boat ramp area by softball feilds-McPherson slough maybe?-) Unlimited Rods.....Must have valid fishing license and follow TPWD rules...Bait launchers, balloons, kites permitted, Kayaks/canoes permitted to run baits out only....All fish must be caught/landed from the bank

Individual entrants not team or partner. Kids 16 and under(I really wanted to say 12 or 13 (geared towards ppl with kids 5-12 or so).....) can partner with parent or gaurdian no charge.....if anyone thinks this gives an unfair advantage they have obviously never taken kids fishin....anyone old enough to have fishing license (17 n up) must pay.....

All fish to be weighed by me- with atleast one witness- scale may be lil off but if all fish are weighed on same scale it's fair- if u catch a biggun 2 hrs in bring it to me to be weighed and recorded then u can release it -- it will count as part of your stringer also....this is one of the reasons I limit it to Oak Grove Park area (it has several miles of shoreline) the other is this is as much of a meet n greet as anything bring your grills/coolers (alcohol not permitted in park per Grapevine)and meet fellow TFF members and grill, socialize and fish......

U know i'd do it but not sure how many others would......

Sometimes I wish I was further north. I am way down here in south Texas. That type of tourny is right up my alley. Just too far.

For one of my previous bankfests Ole Stinkbait Jake made the 4 hr. trip from Abilene or San Angelo or somewheres, caught a 24 lb Blue (new PB) on stinkbait and collected $300 for his troubles which he spent half of on Brand New Shiny Pro Angler rods right before he drove home with a big ole grin on his bearded face...........True Story........

Haha..yeah I am sure I could be a serious contender but just cant make the trip this time. I will make sure and keep an eye open for the next one. Sounds like fun and I think its great you guys put these together. Especially to involve the kids. Cudos.

So I can launch my boat find the fish drop lines then run my poles to the bank?

Sounds like easy Pickens

as long as its a canoe or kayak..........

So no boat? ....seen some kayaks suited up with some nice fish finders...

I'm definitely in

Sounds good!

I've already picked out the 10 combos I'm bringing..........
