$10 side pot for BIG NASTY DRUM. All side pot money will go to the fisherman with the biggest Black Drum caught on rod and reel. If no Black Drum are weighed in, the money will go to charity.

Launch from any where you want, but the weigh in will be at Calcasieu Point.

So, it is 3 per team?

Yes. Max of 3 per team. You can have 1 to 3 in a team.

And if you paypal the money, send as a gift.
If not, paypal will take out money and that will lower the prizes.

Ok ray so is it gonna be feb 16th??? Also who are we paying?

So you can use dead shrimp???

I'll fish

What will be the west boundary? Salt ditch, Shell ditch maybe Sabine River but no fishing Sabine lake? I ask because if the weather is rough it will give us more protected water to fish the farther west the boundary is.

I'm in, gotta defend my title!

I'm in too. B, you got room??

Might have a extra spot open, I'll get with u.

I should be back from working in texas by then,if so im game.

Black Lake, Salty Ditch, Vinton Ditch, Kelso Bayou and Black Bayou are in. From Saltwater Barrier to the end of the Jettys.

Sabine Lake is out.

Yes, and I got a freezer full if you want some. :grinpimp:

Yes, it looks like that date was requested the most.
Pay me. I will set it up. Just have to make sure everyone pays as a gift.
And only pay if you know you are going to fish.
It is tough recieving money then paying back. Hard to keep track.

Sabine is out..... Ouch

When is entry fee deadline

Night before the tournament will have a meeting. Pay then. Or Paypal.
I am setting something up in Paypal prolly tomorrow.

Sounds good

where will the meeting be held and what time?

Will find a good place that any age can get in. Didn't think about that last year and went to Coolers Ice House, and we had under 18 fishermen.
