1st Annual Jordan Lake New Year Tournament

OK guys here is an update thread so we can update everyone. This will be held at the Ebenezer Boat Ramp. Sign ups and live well checks will be from 5:30-6:30am. 16 rod limit and as many people as your boat will legally hold. You can start fishing once you sign up. I will be packing up at 6:30 to get in the water and start fishing. We will fish from 7 until 3:00 and in like to weigh in by 4. Hope fully the weather will stay as nice as it has been so we can have a great time! This will be $35.00 a boat with big fish included. We will pay 2 spots for the first 10 boats. If we get 15 we will pay 3 spots and so on every 5 boats. You will be able to weigh 7 fish. there will be a 1/4 pound penalty for each dead fish. I am excited to see the interest we are having and cannot wait to see everyone. I need to ask everyone to do me a favor. Please take plenty of pics on the water. If you see some one else on the water please get some picks so we can share and have plenty to post with the results. For the ones that will be coming in from a little farther away We have been lucky that Freddy (SlowTroll) has talked to the Comfort Inn in Apex and they have gave us some discounted pricing. Thanks Freddy! I will be staying there and have messaged a little with some and we will be going out to have dinner on Friday night and get to know each other. Don't know where yet but I will look into it and post where we will be going. Keep spreading word as this will be great day! I have a few things up my sleeves for you guys!

Shane

See you on the 2 nd

Looking forward to it. Will have myself and two other aboard by boat, as of now anyway.

Charles, MacCrappie and myself will be fishing in one boat.

Look out Guys and Gals. REDBOAT is teaming up with the Garden Master Crateagus on his Boat.

Tahoe 50 and his side kick are in. We have rooms at the Comfort Inn, will need to plug in boat. Also want in on the meet and greet dinner Friday evening. I am stoked to come out from the coast and fish you guys. REDBOAT haven't seen you in sometime since the Northwest bash.

i'm sorry i'm slow but to clarify are we fishing from 7-3 and be in the wieghin line by 4, or if we sign up at 600 for example can we can start whenever and just be back in line by 4? wording was a bit unclear to me atleast.

Sorry Gobbler I should have been a little more clear. Yes after you sign in, pay and have your live well checked you can take off and start fishing. If you sign in at 6 and in the water at your spot at 6:30 you can start fishing. I do want everyone to stop at 3 so we can all get back to the ramp and try to do the weigh in with everyone there so we can get plenty of pictures.

Glad to see everyone coming out! This will be great day!!!

Please let me know if anyone will have any youth kids with them. I know that it will probably be cold but want to make sure if there are any kids I have something for them. Thanks!

Where will Friday night suppa be?? Also, for those fishing Friday, what time and which ramp?

Your son newly will be there lol

I am working on where we will meet and greet and eat on Friday. I will be getting down to the lake around 12 o'clock or so. I will be putting in at the Ebenezer boat ramp where we are having the Tourney.

Dennis is the Boat ramp open all the time now or does still close the one gate to route you thru the park entrance after 8? I cant remember if they do that during the winter. Thanks!

The Ramps open!

Thanks Tony!

Ebenezer is open 24X7. We'll be putting in at Ebenezer to pre-fish.

Update on the Friday afternoon meet and greet. We will be meeting at Tyler's Tap Room. It is located on Beaver Creek Crossings right off of HWY 64. Address is 1483 Beaver Creek Commons DR. Apex NC 27502. Time will probably be sometime between 6-7 as some of us will be fishing until later that afternoon. Please let me know if you plan on attending so we can know who to expect and let the restaurant know how many we will have when we get there. We will firm up a time when the day gets closer. Look forward to meeting everyone that I haven't met before! Glad all of you are coming!

Again if anyone has any questions feel free to call. 336-978-3737

As far as I know now, I'll be there there. -Joe

Me and 1 other will be there! We have reservations at the comfort Inn and want to go to the meet and greet! We plan on leaving Edenton N.C. first thing on Friday morning to pre fishing. We will be putting over at Ebenezer boatramp. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and learning a little bit on lake fishing as this will be my first time ever fishing a lake. See you guys soon!!

J.C.

Great! looks like we have a total of 5-6 for the meet and greet now.

High water closes Jordan Lake boat ramps | abc11.com

Not Good

Two for Friday night meet and greet. Tahoe and his side kick. Kind of worried about high water. Have seen the results to fishing on Kerr Lake in Via.

With Jordan being 13' above normal level, and with lots of logs and debris floating around, we may want to move the tournament to Harris. Just a few miles from Jordan and has good crappie. Harris does not go up and down with rain, so it will be clear and trash-free. Everyone can still keep their lodging and dining plans on Friday night as well.

I suggested that too Shane but he said he has already bought the permit for the tournament at Jordan

Updates coming soon!

Ok guys with the recent rain and the flooding of Jordan we will be moving the Tourney to Harris. Even if the waters go down on Jordan there will still be ALOT of debris floating and I don't want to put anyone in danger. So we will be set up at the Cross Point boat ramp (233 Crosspoint Rd New Hill NC, 27562). For the ones that are coming in on Friday and staying at the Comfort Inn this will only be about a 18 minute ride from the hotel. The closest place to get minnows that I have found that will be open at 5:30am is Jordan Dam Mini-Mart (8036 Moncure Pittsboro Rd Moncure NC, 27559). For the guys that are staying at the Comfort Inn you will actually drive past the exit for the lake about 3-4 miles to get to the bait store. Everything else will stay the same. I will be down on Friday with a few other fishing. Please call me if you have any questions 336-978-3737. The meet and greet will be at the same place Tylers Tap room . We will probably meet around 6-6:30. I am getting really excited!!!!!! See you all soon!!!

Sounds good!

Sounds good to me. Will be Friday early to pre fish.

That is the ramp near the dam, right?

Yea

Sounds like a plan!! We will see you guys on Friday!

Afraid I have to back out guys. Just not feeling up to it.

:OK Boys exactly where were the big fish caught today? :biggrin

I think they were still hiding.rotfl. I think it is going to be a good day on the water!

Well, how did it go? Hate I had to miss it. Wanted to at least get there for weigh in but just didn't feel good still. Nice day for it anyway!

Updates and results coming tomorrow. Some big fish caught today!

I was unable to get out until 11.30 and really wish I could have been there early enough to complete. I had 3 over 14 inches 1 over 13 and a lot of others that were nice.
