Fall Forum Tournament

JB · 08-24-05, 11:29 AM

Hey lets try to get this next tournie going, and this time maybe we can reward Kevin for his gifts to last tournaments winners, maybe send him a gift certificate or something along these lines, its not fair to depend on him sending gifts out of his own pocket ..

I would like to see it in Sept sometime, for a couple of reasons,
hunting gets going in Oct and also some down right rainy cold days, plus everyone here is still in the fishing mode

Also, any complaints on how the last tournament was handled?
Any changes need to be made?? any suggestions are welcomed!

I would like to use Mid Sept...usually after Labor Day the big lakes really dont get all that much action from boaters and jet ski's, it gives the average joe
angler that much needed quiet time on the lake, plus alot of wimps call it quits on boating in general around here after the Labor day, they put up the boat and have other activites etc.
SO let me know what ya all think about the above
If we have it in Sept the 9-10-11th is open or 16-17-18th is open

Also, on a side note, anyone interested in a side jackpot for big bass?
either money, prize or just good ol recognition huh....
any ideas are welcomed, and nothing is set in stone yet, so put on the old
thinking caps , and LETS HERE from ya' all

Dyas · 08-24-05, 11:34 AM

It sounds good to me........................ I just cant make it this time.................. But I am with you on the big bass prize..................

shaft04092 · 08-24-05, 12:50 PM

where would this be held?what would the entry fee be?

JB · 08-24-05, 02:22 PM

the lake or pond of your choice, no entry fee

you have to measure the lenght and girth of each fish,
the bass has to be a minimum of 12 inches, and if you can a picture with the
tape must be provided, however if you dont have a camera we can trust you
Its a 6 hour tournament from ONE day, not the accumulation of several days fishing
We have a formula on here to prove lenght x girth, you'll need a string or tape to measure the middle area of the bass, most times we just take the length.
Plus a side note in your post telling us how and when and what you caught each bass on, for others to learn from, especially the weather conditions .etc

Yeah I agree............. The last time I got mixed up in the threads and couldnt find the weigh in thread and it cost me a win and some good lures........... that Pissed me OFF!!!!!!!!!!!

JB · 08-24-05, 05:08 PM

Anyone seen TackleTester since the last tournie?

Dyas · 08-24-05, 05:11 PM

I think he has been on here once or twice............... Not much though

lizardsrule · 08-24-05, 05:28 PM

Alright JB I'll make you a deal. I have a 2 day tourney 9/10-9/11, and 9/17-9/18 but any other weekend or even a weekday if I know in advance enough, I'll come fish the tourney with you and Denny if you are up to it. The place of your choosing, and the times of your choosing. I will bring my little boat, and we will have a FISH-OFF. I promise not to bring any fish already in the livewell, as long as you promise not to have any tied up somewhere LOL. I would like to fish with you guys, if it's workable. I will be tied up(hopefully 9/19-9/23), so I can't plan that week. Anyone else want to join in(tackletester, creekgeek, strap?) they can ride with me. We could fish anywhere from Indianapolis to your place, if you guys want to come to the coal pit we'll fish there. I promise I'll leave some of the 12" bass for you and Denny.

Yes the tournament threads to be more organized this time and september is good even though i might not have a chance to fish any. x2 on the big fish prizes.

KH. · 08-24-05, 06:15 PM

i never competed but heck with it ill do it too

Bender · 08-24-05, 06:20 PM

I don't know who would do it but I think it would make things a little easier if there was a sticky post that stayed towards the top with a small spreadsheet or something simple with the results. Just an idea.

zooker · 08-24-05, 06:49 PM

yeah i am with bender on this. also myself and reb kept every one sorta straight. dyas that had to suck but get used to it buddy shake it off do better

zooker

Dyas · 08-24-05, 07:01 PM

Yeah it pretty much sucked. But i am just glad I got a chance to fish. There is always next time though. Well the next time after this one since I cant be in this one. But good luck to yall who are in this tournament and the best of luck to ya..........

TackleTester · 08-24-05, 07:01 PM

I'm here.....but cant get on much since school started and I have soccer every day for 3 or 4 hours.....I will try to donate some prizes to this one here in September......Just keep me updated and stuff......Hope to be around more ......

Brian

Rodman_Rob · 08-25-05, 12:55 AM

I'll throw in $1,000 to anybody who can produce an 18lbs fish. Good Luck, lol.

zooker · 08-25-05, 04:59 AM

that 18 pounds of fish or a 18 pound fish rodman??

zooker

1FASTLASER · 08-25-05, 06:21 AM

Count me in on this one.

JB · 08-25-05, 07:00 AM

LIzards ,

That sure sounds good to me, I know Denny is Tenn. bound in 2 weeks, maybe we could hit tanners, its about same distance for both of us, we maybe a little closer...

Well It's not like you picked the easiest place to catch big fish LOL, but that works for me. The 2 day tourney I have on 9/17-9/18 is at Tanners. If by some chance you guys would like to fish that friday 9/16 that would work for me for prefishing and our tourney. Anyway talk to Denny, and even if he can't make it I'll come meet you.

Lizards

Dyas · 08-25-05, 11:17 AM

1 grand for an 18 pound fish!!!!!!!!!!!! I might just have to get in this thing and take a run for it..........................

H2O · 08-25-05, 12:22 PM

Sounds pretty interesting for me.

jbfisher · 08-25-05, 01:22 PM

I've never did this. Is this a tournament online? So we just need to take pics, if possible, of our fish, and send them in? I would love to get in on this. What day will all of this be taking place? Are we allowed to fish in whatever lake or pond we want? Is it a team Tourny? Fill me in guys, Im new.

JB · 08-25-05, 01:38 PM

Stream, or river, pond or lake, or your fav. bathtub lol

Yes you must measure the fish and show the tape up to the fish, then use a photo service like www.imageshack.com or others, or ask for help on here and we'll post them for you.
You can fish alone or with others , however only YOUR fish will be allowed to be entered, they must be a minimum of 12 inches, 5 fish total for weigh in.
A ONE day , 6 hour period is the tournament, and if its on the weekend you have to choose what day it will be and thats the day that counts.
We don't want people to go out and get skunked, and then decide THAT day won't count, and do it another day.
The purpose of this tournie is to ease young anglers into tournament rules, its also a learning experience..
