Thread: Fruit Jar Tourney lakes/dates ... cont'd

We're still two months away from the earliest tourney date, but we still need to finalize at least the first two tourney dates/lakes ... and get a Weigh Master chosen.

Chucky has all but "volunteered" to be the Weigh Master, and I have no objections to that. Do we need to run a voting poll for this position, or is everyone OK with Chucky being the Weigh Master ?

mar 15 Kentucky Lake
Mar 29 Cumberland
Seems like these dates/lakes are the more popular choices ... so let's start with them & pick weigh-in sites.

I'm good with all of it Pappy.

I'm looking to start fishing tournaments; that being said I'm new to all this and was wondering if this was a good tourney to get my feet wet in. I normally only fish Taylorsville but plan on going as far as green or barren.

KSC ... I see no reason that these tourneys wouldn't be a good "start". Our rules are a modified version of the CUSA rules, & our entry fee is only $30/boat & $10/boat Big Fish. Here's where you can check out our final decision on all the rules : http://www.crappie.com/crappie/showt...al-Draft/page2

And we will be having tourneys on Green, Barren, and Taylorsville ... after we do the KY/Barkley & Cumberland tourneys.

You'll also have to attend our Spring Fling at Green on April 12th @ Holmes Bend Marina. It's not so much a tourney, as it is a get together ... where everyone goes out & fishes, & then we fry up the catch and have a big fish fry meal. We usually have some door prizes to give away to all that attend. We let everyone attending volunteer to bring side dishes &/or items we need for food preparation, or even some prizes to give away ... but, that's on a voluntary basis, & not mandatory in order to attend these events.

Thanks for the response. I can't wait to start fishing, and meet a lot of you. I don't think I've been this excited in awhile.

Im good with those date and with Chucky. I agree we need to set location so people can get rooms if they want.

i am ok with chucky being the weigh master. on the weigh in sites are we going to vote on this thread or are you going to make another one for it.

I'm good with Chucky and like the pumpkin creek ramp at the state park on cumberland

I don't think Chucky's request for early payment of entry fees is out of line. PM him for his mailing address, and get your money in "the jar" ... and let's get this party started !!!

KY Lake Fruit Jar Tourney on March 15th will start at 7:30AM (start fishing) .... and you must be in the weigh-in line at or before 3:30PM (bare that in mind if launching from a distant ramp on either lake !! )

Ken Lake will be the weigh-in site, unless there's an overwhelming reason for it not to be.
