tvc184 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Freshwater does have that appeal for many people whoever....... Saltwater is much closer for most people in the Golden Triangle, it can be done from many places on the bank for people without a boat and it can be done for more than one fish. I know the tournament will be in freshwater, I am just sayin'.................
tvc184 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 On the other hand, I just bought me a brand new 8 wt flyrod on Saturday at Bass Pro Shop in Pearland. Looks like a great bass outfit. Y'all might be in trouble if I can find a boat to fish out of. We had a company spring bass tournament about 20 years ago at Six Mile on Toledo (last bass tourney that I fished). I showed up with my partner and we had a couple of spinning and casting rods in the boat but we also had about half a dozen flyrods. Naturally we got a few snickers and teehees as we pulled away in our 16 foot flatbottom aluminum boat. The snickers weren't quite to prevalent when we won the tournament. I think we weight in 9 fish (out of 10 possible) and 7 of them came off of the flyrods including our biggest.
643 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 freshwater would be better because some people dont like putting there boats in saltwater. Rayburn would be a good place to do it at because its big and theres enough room for everybody to move around. Freshwater would be great I for 1 feel just the opposite...WW
thetragichippy Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 salt or fresh, lets get this thing going!
tvc184 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 salt or fresh, lets get this thing going! Yep... I don't care where I fish as long as I am fishing.
PuDdLeJuMpEr78 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 Rayburn sounds awesome! If someone took the time to make flyers to hand out or put in local gas stations there would be a good turnout have seen it done before
tvc184 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 From my opinion, if it is a setxsports.com tournament, there needs to be at least one member of the forum in the boat. I don't see this as a big deal tournament but a gathering of a few of the posters on this forum for friendship purposes and meet our friends and antagonists. For that reason, I don't see a reason to invite members of the public at large. Maybe I'm wrong................ Anyone else?
thetragichippy Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 I kinda agree. I thought the reason for the tourney was to get a chance to meet everyone, outfish them and talk trash! ;D ;D

westend1 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 If this happens, I have a 17 ft aluminum bass boat, but I'm gonna need a guide. I fished Rayburn a little, years ago and know the midlake area some(black forest area). somebody let me know if they need a partner.
Guest beat-em_deep Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 we could have like a pro-am style a random draw team tourney where you have some boaters then some co-boaters and the night b4 the tourney you draw to see who your fishing with! this way the people that dont have a boat could fish too!

I like that idea.
Guest beat-em_deep Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Its really easy to set up. Wouldnt be hard at all!
bullets13 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Posted March 31, 2009 i'm all about the tourney, but i'm boatless, so i'll need a partner with a boat (and hopefully mad fishing skills)
Guest beat-em_deep Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Well im going to College to be on the fishing team! ;D ;D ;D ;D
gator97 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 i moved from florida this year and been teaching and coaching in lumberton. love to fish but no boat - in florida could wade the indian river (saltwater) for reds, snook and trout, and fish bass in my canoe. where do u go to fish these parts if youre a poor boy with no boat?????
thetragichippy Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Village creek has some bass in it if your around Lumberton......you can rent a canoe for about $35.00 for a day. I want to do that this summer. Last summer I figured out where bass hang out in a creek.....different than a lake for sure. Your other choice would be saltwater off the bank. You can read some post on this topic and find some locations. send me a PM, I live in Lumberton and coach as well.
gator97 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 how do u send a pm? i went out to village creek and fished for bass - didnt get any hits, i was using a zara puppy shiner color silver and black. i slay the bass with that lure in florida but nothing. whats a good artificial to use around here hippy?

In village creek, find the cuts with cypress knees. I fished a spinner bait (white) and did well. A texas riged or wacky worm should do good as well.
