folks i have taken into consideration all the opinions i have received and this is what i came up with, this is it and i hope to see as many of you as i can on shearon harris on the 4th for our kickoff tournament. my cell is 336-301-6652 if you need to contact me feel free, thanks kevin.

Forgot mention entry is $40 per boat and it will payout one place for every five boats entered.

At ocean til july 5th but will make as many as possible. Thats for being considerate of the church tourny and the CCA.

Looks like a good schedule. Thanks for taking the effort to put it on.

Kevin--definitely count Charles and I in for the tournament this Saturday on Harris. Thanks again for putting on these tournaments this Summer.

in the spirit of encouraging the youth to fish, i am gonna tweak the 2 person per boat rule to 2 adults per boat, and as many kids as the boat will allow.
wanted to add it to the top but it doesnt allow me to edit my post any longer.
ya'll pass the word around and i'll see ya'll saturday morning.

Way to go Kevin. Like the "encouraging the youth to fish part". Wish I had talked to you when I was trying to see if there was any interest in keeping the SCA afloat. Pretty much found out its all about the check not the sport. I hope you make a go of it sir. Good luck.

Thanks, I'll have one or two of mine there if they'll get out of bed.

The sca went under because the payback dropped to 70%, I understand it costs to put these on but that's to much, and the fishermen spoke, these are 100% payback and these smaller tx's are more the fun type with just enough involved to wet your competitive appetite. The sport will never grow if we don't include the next generation. The CCA also allows a youth to fish with two adults, I think they have to be 12 or under. Fishing in a tx is a bit more exciting than a regular day of fishing. Come on out and see for yourselves. we're making new friends and learning a bit more about something we all enjoy.

Well stated--I enjoy the fishing, but enjoy the time chatting with friends afterwards. Always good to make new friends as well.

Alright folks its time for some pretournament propaganda, how much wieght do y'all think think it will take to win sat. ??

5.9 lbs total and big fish will be 1.7. My guess?

i was thinking 4.5.

OK guys let here what happened! I wish I could be there! I will be at a couple. Let me here the numbers!

my son and I plan to fish the Jordan tournament. looking forward to learn from everyone.

yeah that jordan tournament should be a good one have several folks that have said they will be there.

alright folks we got jordan next sat aug 1. hope you see you all there, livewell checks and sign up from 5 -545am.

I spent a good part of today on Jordan doing some pre-tournament scouting. I'm going to guess 4.8 as the total. I'll post some screenshots tomorrow of some things I saw today. The main thing is the thermocline is definitely in place.

How many boats do you think will be there?

No clue but it should be the best turnout yet.

Looks like a good day for a tournament with the humidity being down some.

I know we are only allowed five fish in the livewell. But can we keep more than five if we put the rest in a cooler on ice? I need some fish and would hate to have to throw them back.

Yes--you only weigh-in five and you keep them. Keep all the rest you catch up to 20 per person.

We're going to put some ice in our live-well to try and keep our five alive. Even in a circulating live well, water temp's in the low 90's make it hard to keep them alive.

well i have recieved 0 messages about being at blewett falls next sat, so unless something unforseen changes things and alot of folks speak up and say they are coming i am going to call it off.

NO BLEWETT falls tx on the 15th.

Going to be on Harris this Saturday to pre-fish for the tournament on the 29th. We found lots of small fish during the last tournament and sure want to find where the big ones are hiding.

yes sir, glad you brought that up, gonna adjust the start time a bit since the days are getting shorter, how does 630-1100 sound? This one may very well be the last one for the year as the yadkin chain doesn't seem to draw as much participation. looking forward to it, got a new trick or two up my sleeve ;). ya'll better bring it. i know the water has cooled a bit here and should get them going.

I agree with a later start time. M-F I cook breakfast at 6:00 and been wondering how we were going to drop some hooks that early. Do you want to push the end time out to 11:30?

if ya'll want to we can, i know on most days though the heat is cranking and the fishing has slowed, but if ya'll want we can, what say the rest?

can't make the Jordan trip. I hope you guys can find the big ones.

This tournament is on Shearon Harris--no more on Jordan this year.

I was thinking of harris. and wrote the wrong lake. thanks for correcting that post. I plan to fish with you guys again soon. going to coast for vacation during this tournament with my son for some relaxation
