dd, 8-13 for grenada championship............cannot make the 8/6, due to my store and back to school, but whatever you decide, thanks.
and have said this lake is better than this lake during this time period. Simple enough answer. I'M THE LAKE MASTER:D
I went with the order for Barnett and Washington because of the MCC the week after and if we have ours the week before they do, they'll be prefishing and figure what the heck, may as well fish them since I'll be feshing anyways. The lakes and dates were set on not having a conflict with the MCC and CUSA, then looking at the spawn, the dead period after the spawn and then crank bait pulling season. I also know that several of us are fishing some of the MCC tourneys as well. Best I can do fella's and I actually think from talking to several people, it's a pretty good schedule. now lets just pray that Mother nature is kind to us this year early. She put a hurting on us at the first 3 tourneys this year but there's nothing you can do about her. She's a tough old broad and you can't predict the weather 8 months in advance. Lets all keep our fingers crossed.
Bigger, you did an outstanding job this past year bud!!!
with 8-13 being the Championship date?
Fine with me!
Sho do preciate it
Looks like a fine lineup....Yall have fun.
I want to see the new rules I know one will be forgotten ill remind ya what it is.......once you way a fish or your 7 you should absolutely not be able to reeeeeee-weigh any of the fish once the fish have been taking from the scales thats just wrong no tourney around will allow that I hope the man this happened to will reconsider and keep fishing with us he's a good guy and a heck of a fisherman.dont want to piss anyone off but this needs to be added
I heard a little about that. If that happened, that is a deal breaker. There have been a lot of bass/crappie clubs that have folded up over that type of thing. I have been reluctant to fish these tournaments because there always seemed to be problems with the scales or the records of the weigh-ins. I hope you guys can get this stuff resolved before next year because it really could be a good little tourney trail.
Guys....They have just bought brand new certified tournament grade scales so there should be no problems weighing.
Since I have been pushing MCC on you guys and it looks like several of you will fish with us this year I will commit to fishing a few of ya'lls. Before I do, like mentioned in an earlier post, some of the rules need to be visited and posted.
WB will post the new rules shortly and I am sure some will be mad but they are the same as MCC and Crappie masters.
We're working on revising them now. Be patient.
TLow, as far as record keeping goes....any error in that regard were my fault. The old scales we had didn't help much and there was some confusion on my part about whether there were 10ths of a pound being called out or ounces. In some cases, the weight was called for example as Eight point six and recorded it as 8 and 6/10ths of a pound when it was actually 8 pounds 6 ounces. As far as I know, none of the placing positions were affected by an error like that, but some of the middle of the pack probably were. The new scales display in 100ths so the recording errors on my part should stop......assuming I can read my handwriting that is. :) In any event, all of those errors were my fault. Unintentional, but still my fault.
What was the issue with weighing in then re-weighing a big fish? In MCC once you weigh your 7 fish and your big fish (or fishes we can weigh more than one big fish) that's it. How was one able to re-weigh. Once you bring your 7 fish to the scales that's it. That's the only rule I have concerns with. I can see how participates were upset if that took place.
A similiar situation happen to some of my MCC buddies in a Crappie Master tournament at Ross Barnett. They had caught a great stringer of fish. They didn't realize that you could only weigh one big fish with CM. They presented their first big fish to the weigh master and the weight was recorded. Well it turned out that their second big fish was bigger. It was actually a 3 pounder but since they had weigh one already they weren't allowed to present the other fish. Ofcourse they were pissed but it was written in the rules they just assumed CM was like MCC.
Ive seen more than one fish weighed in at CM and have done it.
Well it was the same fish weighed twice due to water buildup on the scales. Not saying whether it was right or wrong but should look into a towel to keep scales in same condition for every stringer
scales compensate for that MO. We should not have allowed 2 fish being weighed. I have sent text messages trying to resolve this but to no avail. I talked to Betty Rutledge at CM this morning and they allow ONLY 1 BIG FISH TO BE WEIGHED, I ain't calling you a liar Bigger but it did not happen at a CM tourney maybe a MCC tourney.
WB, I can see where the record keeping issue will be much easier with the new scale. As far as fish being reweighed, if that is allowed to happen, you are setting yourself up for problems. I like the set up that MCC has and it would probably be wise to mimic that set up as much as possible.
Tlow we are going to use CM and now all fish have be alive to be weighed, we have had some issues with that also.
Probably not a bad idea either, Torch.
MCC should adopt weighing in only "live" fish.
Its a long time untill Feb. Plenty of time to get the rules revised and tweaked I would say. Be patient, these guys are trying to do the best that they can. In the end I am sure things will be just fine.
This is a good group of guys and some great fisherman.... There are just some kinks to be ironed out as in any new tourney club...
Just stating how I feel and know I won't be able to keep them all alive
Without a really good system its nearly impossible to keep em alive in august.
Especially when your boat don't have a livewell !!!!Quote:

I gotta say I ain't to crazy about the live fish thing either. Don't get me wrong I wish we could keep them all alive. I could see a penalty of some sort maybe, but to exclude them...I don't know.
OH Well my days of tournament fishing are pretty much over way tooooo much DRAMA !!!!!! Takes the fun out of fishing !!
The hooks in the gills are usually a problem too. If this is implimented, somebody will have to be available to weigh in stressed fish early.
What does MS CDC stand for?

No such thing as a dumb question. Inquiring minds want to know.Quote:

If you will read over in the alive or dead poll....the ruleing will be changed to dead or alive.Quote:

Might have to call in sick!!!!!! Especally for the crank-bait lakes.
