Just say the word, doesn't matter to me where. Enjoyed the company all the past w/e, good thing cause we didn't catch squat!

[fishmaster911]

once again if im off call im there !
5 bass stringer bonus for live release
heaviest bream and crappie
i think it should be open to everyone ! not just salty cajun members, it would show everyone that the salty cajun is not just about SALTY water fishing !

I say, 5 bream/sac a lait stringer
5 bass stringer

Seperate pots? Enter one or the other or BOTH

[adamsfence]

i say cypress bend awesome facility large boat landing, cabins, camper spots, central location, about 3 miles from toledo town. you won't find a better location. that is where they have all the oilman tournys

3 pots

[Big Lake Blondie]

When we going? Let's go!:dance:

[Red Devil]

Just FYI fellas. One of our foreman's is on the Oilman's board or whatever and I asked him why the Oilman's was so early this year and he said because of availability of Cypress Bend. Vacancies will be the big issue just for the fact that there is a tourney on Toledo dang near every weekend. On another note, he also told me the oilman's will be the first weekend in April next year.

[fishmaster911]

red devil hit the nail on the head ! i think a Charity Bass tournament should be next year that way it give plenty of time to get things together ! just my 2 cents !

[wtretrievers]

If ya do it this year hurry up and set a date so we can do some bookings for camps and campers. Summer time need at least 2 months booking time
That's exactly right! That's gonna be on just about any fresh water lake once it starts warming up places fill up quick

[Big Flounder]

Make it a border war tourny!!

[jchief]

You check with Cypress Bend on that date? There are other places that can host a tournament, but this is the best on the lake.

We fish a company tournament, Cameron Communications, out of Big Bass every year with about 30 or so boats. There are others that are bigger.

If not a "tournament" how about a get together where everyone puts up some money for what they want to fish for and not go to the trouble of everything else?

[fishmaster911]

im on call !but hey u cant make everyone happy !!

[wtretrievers]

not so fast there buckwheat I am in this too:*****:
I don't know if it would be good to fish all 3 of us out of one boat & fishing against each other:shaking: somebody sticks a fish & other 2 are cutting his line & smacking him back of the head with a boat paddle!:*****:

Amen. I remember one year me and bud fishe the big bass splash and weren't catchin squat. We called Dennis Tietje and asked hime where to go and he said north of 1215 that time of year. We were like ***, we were at the south end of the lake.

[Red Devil]

1215 is a dang good place in the summer on the big grass flats punching 1oz jigs through the matt
I know that, but running that far in the dark with a hangover was bad mojo, so we thought better about it.

[fishmaster911]

dont count me out YET ! i still have time to work something out !!!!! :work:

[Micah]

I'll be off that weekend, paw-in-law got a camp right up the road from there too.

[RaginCagin]

cypress bend is a good area also have a few bars just a few miles from there though i'm sure no one would be interested in that sort of thing.

[goldenrod]

Brayden, you call Cypress Bend and see if they are available that day?

[jchief]

My paw-in-law has a camp in cozy point, i'll ask him tomorrow is he knows how much they or if they have any left.......there is also wildwoods which is right next to cozy point, it has a nice boat launch too.

[jchief]

I am going to see about a couple of launches to use for the tournament. Will post what I find.

Where would everyone prefer to fish, south (Big Bass/Pirates) mid lake (San Miguel)?

[fishmaster911]

U can try Tranquility Bay Resort !

[jchief]

Sunrise for the 12th is about 6:15. How about you can start fishing at 5:45 anywhere and have to be in the weigh in line by 3:00? That way you don't have to run in the boat if you don't want to and give the smaller boats an equal chance?

Fool, not trying to take over, just putting ideas/thoughts out there.

[adamsfence]

so did yall go with june 12th.......If so i can't go we are having kids birthday party that weekend. Figures, one of these days im gonna make one

[Big Flounder]

I'm down. Me and my buddy Stan will fish it. Need to know the date though cause June 25th weekend I am fishing Grand Isle.

[2ndamendment]

I am good with June 12th at Cypress Bend. In fact we will be at Cypress bend in 20 more days(week after Easter). Fool we camp at Cypress Bend numerous times throughout each summer. Tournaments are held at this location all the time, due to the availability to handle large numbers. There are roughly 8 to 10 rental cabins there and more than enough RV spots as well. Then of course up the road from the RV area you have the actual Cypress Bend resort(hotel) and golf course. The boat launch surface area for your comparison Fool is like a Walmart parking lot. Very nice facilities there. Covered areas for weigh ins, playground for W I mean kids, beach swimming area and piers.

[huntin fool]

June 12th i beleive.

[Big Lake Blondie]

or the weekend after the 12th...I'll already be there for a reunion :D

[Shawn Braquet]

bay boat is ready just decide on a date so i can book a cabin, anyone know if there are big cabins? i know south toledo bend state park had one may be fun for a group of us to rent a big one. Just my .02

[2ndamendment]

Shawn the cabins at Cypress Bend are two bedrooms I believe. At South TBSP there are cabins that can hold groups of people, as well as, some smaller two bedroom also.

[QUACKHEAD]

I'll make it and BBook will also. Camps about 8 miles south of Cypress Bend close to Big Bass. Big Bass would be a nice place also. They have trailers to rent and travel trailer parking also.

[jpeff31787]

i didn't get to read all the comments, but you can do a fishing rodeo. We used to fish one and there were 4 categories.

Biggest 5 Bass Stringer
Big Bass

Biggest 5 Sacalait Stringer
Biggest Sacalait

Biggest 5 Bream Stringer
Biggest Bream

Then single biggest odd fish

It was really fun because a lot of people got to win and everyone fished there favorite species.

Just an idea...
