your right..no live bait when moneys involved...but it will never happen...u know why...cause no body is willing to piss off the damn joe shmos in the world who have millions and own thier own business and the only way there gonna be happy is by winnin the 5000 dollar tournament people like us fish to put food on the table and help out...i work with these types all the time..they chire us to do wat they cant figure out...and you know what aint nothin wrong with it..just dont fish tourneys if you dont know wat your doing.. |

Also...I only fished LAKE P once and guys said there is NO way I could catch on plastic in JULY and AUG at Seabrook.... I disagree that plastic dont get job DONE!!! I know if trout are there I will catch them with Plastic!!! Live bait catches trout but not big ones and to many other things as well...... |

what you wanna bet that guy is selling those fish commercially? |
wow i hate lake P with a passion..and they were wrong its the only way to catch them at seabrook that time of the year...i agree 100% should be banned in tourneys...all im saying is wen something aint working im not scared to do what i gotta do to catch my fish...every trip in the sound for me consits of A Top Dog..a catch 5...then live croakers for wen its slack then hybrids in the evining....man u should really come try this sound thing out..i fished big lake a few times..its way different than wat youd prolly think..
|
All the tourneys i fish are for charities. They have one aim.
To make $$$ for the cause. they could care less about wether you use live , dead , plastic or any other legal fishing method. Bottom line is cash. Let's see CCA / STAR take the lead and ban live bait. Not going to happen. again cash is the bottom line . |
I dont see the STAR or any CCA events banning live bait because of the members!! CCA is for all fisherman....good and bad...
But I would love to see other events like we had this pass weekend ban live bait.....They said no wading but croaker soaking was good......JUST NOT RIGHT... |

does your three yr old daughter fish against grown men every week for cash? or does she sit in the boat with dadddy and weigh his fish?, thats IF daddy catches fish What a surprise, your from texas. |
How many soak Da Croakers this weekend???? Anybody going to admit it!!! I know big lake had 10,000 on the shipchannel
|
i was soakin 12 inch pogeys at thunderhorse and medusa..
|
Not gonna lie I caught bait on friday, got wasted:spineyes: fri night and let the most of the bait perish!! Threw some mullet on sat, but couldn't stand it went to plastics and caught my reds...everyone I saw were chunking shrimp, saw a couple of croaker or mullet throwers...I just needed to compose my self to recover so we jammed the radio and let'm soak...once reality came back we were chunkin plastics only and for the rest of the day.:cool:
|
We threw topwater all day on Saturday. Kept gettin bit so no reason in stopping. My girlfriend had a huge fish on for a while, pulled more drag off the reel than any fish I ever caught and my biggest trout is 8 pounds. It ended up gettin off. Poor thing, she was dying to weigh a fish in a tourny.
|
I absolutely agree. A 2cooler partener emailed me wanting to fish the tournament together and the first sentenced said "Are you freed up this Saturday to fish the Spectacular on Big Lake; the only problem is we can't wade and the allow live bait". Neither of us ended up fishing the tournament for other reasons but it didn't bother us as much because of the rules.
I don't care if fisherman want to throw live bait to catch thier fish. If the title "tournament" is being used, live bait should not be allowed unless it is for a charity and then there should be seperate divisions with the artifishual payout being higher!! Wading should be allowed even if they say you must be on the water by boat 1st, and may exit and enter the boat to wade as long as the boat is the primary means to travel and transport fish off the lake. Something like that would work for me. |
Sounds like jealousy to me...I'm no tourney fisherman, but if I were live bait would DEFINATLEY be on my agenda. I have nothing against fisherman who use plastics, I throw them on occasion. Why get mad about it? Catching your own bait and keeping it alive takes much more skill and patience than going to Academy and picking up a bag of plastics.

do croaker wars ever get anywhere?
|
Hopefully
Hopefully this one will at least get two different divisions in tournaments!
|
the only reason i care is cause some people seem to think people who do use live bait from time to time are less of fisherman..

I see a pretty decent sized trout in there...
|
I see some 8" flounder too...
|
Quote:
I can't rag on that. I always keep a few small ones like that because my Mom loves to bake them in her toaster oven. She get's so excited when I bring her some little flounder like that. |
this goes down for the dumbest thread of the year! Who cares what people use to fish with.

I hear this..."Well use live bait then"...NO...I would fell like im cheating my self if I fish live bait in a tournament....Its self respect I have!!! I'm on the water 175 days year and know how,where,what and when to fish!!! Then i pay $100 bucks to get bet by Joe Blow on his 3rd trip to the lake by soaking a croaker at the jetties!!!! There is no pride in that IM SORRY.....I have been fishing to long!!! This my opinon and just how I see it!!!! |

I have never been in a tourney but was thinkin about tryin some this summer...after reading this they are not for me....the thought of live bait in a tourney never crossed my mind. I mean I have been known to croker soak every once in a while, especially in an area I don't know, but nothing is more satisfying than catching on artificial. I think of a tournament as a test of skill between a group of people and if you introduce live bait the only skill you need is being able to cast. So all these so called tournaments are really just large amounts of people betting against each other to see who can catch the biggest fish. Now if it is a fundraiser for a good cause such as the one Shad is trying to put together I'm in, but I think I will just stick to fishing for myself and leave these "tournaments" to you guys.
