Official Tournament Thread!!!!!

[bh89-2]

Hopefullly my bud Westend1 knows where this boat ramp is at.  I have searched google maps high and low for tram road and a boat ramp near a bridge. 

One question, is there any rules against putting 6-8lb fish in a basket a few days early and then weighing them?    ;D ;D ;D  That's the way they do it in Dayton.  ;)

sorry guys. Havent been on in a couple of days. But to answer some questions here we go:
Date: June 23rd
Location: Pine Island Bayou
Launch: Under the Pine Island Bayou Bridge (between Tram Rd and Lumberton)
Time: 6:00-12:00 (we are launching at 6:00 so be there to sign in and pay at least 15 Minutes early. If you are going to be late let me know ahead of time.)
Price: $25 per team (2 Max) or $15 per individual
Big bass pot $10 (optional)
Biggest stringer of 4 fish wins. (Scale will be provided)
Prizes depend on amount of boats.

I was going to just read the rules at the ramp but I will put them on here just for you Smoking Baby.:

Only two people per team but you can have three in the boat. (2 man team + 1 individual) (one must be poster unless told otherwise in pm).
NO LIVE BAIT.
Biggest four fish stringer wins.
No foul hooking/snagging.
For the big bass pot everyone that weighs in a fish must have their own fish.
Prizes go to first and second place.
You can only go in the specified water.
Be respectful to everyone (kids included)
No Gulp bait.
Every fish must be legal length.
A lot of this tournament goes off of the honest system so be fair and honest.
Umbrella rigs are allowed.
Artificials only.
If you are not at the ramp by 12:10 you will be disqualified.
NO FISH FINDERS!!! Depth finders are allowed however (wouldnt want someone to hit bottom and screw up their boat).
Always remember its a poster tournament not the bassmasters and losing to me and my partner is ok:)
Be a good sport! any arguements or accusations will be brought to me and Dustoff03's attention and we will handle it accordingly.
You cannot be within 15 feet of another team while they are fishing (this is just a respect thing).

I have more on a piece of paper at home but I think I just about covered it all. PM me if you have any questions/comments or concerns. Or call me at 409-225-4450. If you need directions to or a better description of the ramp location then contact me.

I learned a long time ago when you put up tournament dates and times you have to stick with them.You will always have some folks who can't make it but you usually have good turn outs.Better luck next time.
