You can wade fish in this tournament

http://www.specktourney.com/ja/index_redfish.shtml $125 entry and http://www.specktourney.com/ja/index_trout.shtml $250 entry

You can also wade in these two tournaments

Wade Fishing Regulations Participants are allowed to wade fish in any XRT tournament. Participants wade at their own risk and agree to release XRT and its affiliates from all liability. Wade fishermen may not wade more than 500 yards from their anchored boat. Wade fishermen may not wade within 50 yards of another tournament angler, with the exception of their designated tournament partner. If proximity to another tournament angler is in question, the wader casting and retrieving first has the first right to the fishing area. If wade fishing, the boat engine cannot be started unless both team members are in the boat.

Sounds lajit to me

Why not? Wader can only cover so much territory. If you can't be quiet in a boat that is 'your' fault.

If you want to sit and look at the same spot all day more power to you:)

The more rules the less fun and less people will enter

Rules:
Start at safetime all together
Catch your Redfish (No Live or Dead Bait artificial only)
Be at Dock for weigh in

Next year, "wading only tournament"...

;).......:rotfl:

Wait, that ain't fair to us non waders. Most wading tourneys allow boats. ;-)

A lot of times its for safety reason but other times too peoples integrity is what it boils down to. People wading could use it to their advantage to gain access to areas they can't access by boat (fishing a leveled field). I've fished in redfish tournaments from Panama city beach to Sabine Lake. There's times where prefishing you could access a pond easily on your boat but tournament day water blows out the water and the fish are sitting I'm back of the pond. Wading would give u the advantage. Wading does have disavantages as well we all know that. Safety reasons, man there's people out there that would do f***ed up **** for money. With that said whats to stop someone from burning a flat thay waders are on? Also we all know some people don't even pay attention while steering the boat. You're putting the waders in jeopardy. Without being a "official" tournament and having some sort of insurance that could spell bad juju for person organizing the betting event. I say no waders. IMO

Always someone *****ing... :work:

It's betting event. Show up on a certain date, put money in a pot, launch from a public launch, everyone leave at same time, winners split the pot.

I fixed what I wrote for ya, look either way I'm fishing wade, no wade. This thread was a voting thread with the options of voicing opinions. And i was stating mine.

I am joking. I am like polebenda, fishing either way.

YES (and I don't wade).

It is up to the fisherman to decide wether or not they want to participate/support a tournament that allows wade fishermen. :work:

I agree with everyone voicing their opinions. I think it is the best way to view how the field thinks.
Best opinion, in my opinion, was the less rules, the easier it will be to fish.

I knowed you was joking. That's why I said that.
In my opinion, everyone should be allowed to fish public waters, no matter how you want to fish. As long as it is with rod and reel only.
Either way, there will be waders fishing that may not be in the tournament. So, doesn't matter if you allow waders or not.
Some folks only Yak fish or bank fish. That's cool with me too.

I could careless how you fish. A lot of people are making a big deal about waders, but to me yakers have a bigger advantage than waders. That's my two cents.

This is complete BS. Wade fishing is much more difficult because you don't have access to everything you would have in a boat (like boxes of lures, or in Jeremy's case his live well), you are able to cover much less territory, etc. Purists wade, and those who don't have the skills stay in the boat and cover 100x more territory. It's similar to hunting from a blind using a feeder or getting out of the blind and walking through the woods to find your prey. One is sporting, one is lazy. To each his own.

Jeremy, just because your wading territory is limited to 2' of water or less, which tremendously limits good wading areas, doesn't mean you have to bash real fishermen who don't believe numbers are something to brag about. :rolleyes:

Not supporting this event. The event is not making any money. All monies are distributed to the top 3 teams. Just fishermen fishing to have some fun after hunting season closes and not much else is going on.
Anyone can participate. I don't think wading will stop many from fishing.
Weather might make more skip out than waders.

I'll be there sportin' the gill net git-up! Wade, live, dead...You'll never stand a chance against my "ARSEnal!" LOL

W, quit crying! It's not a "real" tournament!

This is true.

So, your saying I'm lazy because I fish in a boat? Or even better..My favorite part of it,"they fish in the boat because they don't have skills."
That quite possibly might be the most idiotic thing I've ever read on this site.

But as you said, to each is his own.
By the way, I do both.

That's why I saying let live or dead bait be used. It's for FUN.

Well look who came out the peanut factory

Wading if not hard and like I said Texans wade because they cant catch numbers out of a boat and use that for the reason...


I promise I catch way more big trout in August than most waders do all year

Now I know what I been doing wrong all this time. I fish from a boat so I dont have any skills and Im lazy .Thanks for the help .:shaking:

Y'all are making a big deal out of nothing... Let the waders fish. Hell, if a wader beats me, good job for him. It's just a fun tournament. I know how my partner and I will fish. We're gonna sight fish. I still think a boat fisherman will win. I may be wrong, but who knows... So I say, let the waders do their thing. Most people don't realize what it takes to win a red tournament. Your fish have to be heavy, real heavy. Length matters to an extent. But, just as in trout, I've seen a shorter red weigh more than a longer one, sometimes by a pound. Just my opinion. It seems that some people are scared to get beat by a wader!

Im with you on that , just think ShadMan's comment was wrong about us that dont wade.

everybody lets sell our boats.....jump in some neoprene and lets go......thats like sayin true fisherman ONLY fish in bad weather....lmao.

BTW....Wading is GAY

Shadman is just a punk...........Dude never caught a trout over 7lbs

And Like I said...Texans wade because they can walk down a bank with 15 people and spread out a mile and brag about two trout over 6lbs that it took all 15 to catch...]

Shad I forgot more about trout fishing than you or your texas buddys would ever know.........Get in a boat and do what i do day in and day out then lets talk.... I can jump out a boat on any bank and catch 5 trout any day of the week...

Here we go.....

Coolest part is, he can come here and drop one line and have you going on about it for 3 dang days!:rotfl::work:

Cause his ego is bigger than any trout that swims. :rotfl:

Shad done pissed in w Cheerios. Bahahaha.

Man I was bringing my cane pole and a 5 gallon bucket, this is getting complicated.

my last .02 more people means more MULA...for 3 boats, yakers, intertubers, waders, rafts....live, dead, weirs...lets do it....show up,, fish, have fun.....if you dont limke it then wait for the salt water series coming up....bunch of puntangs....lol

:rotfl: The license is WAY cheap for a cane pole too, from what I've been told.:D

No matter how hard you try, shadmans comment is still the dumbest I've seen in awhile

Guys, I was just trolling for the elusive Big Lake Shorty and I've caught my limit for the month. See y'all again in January. ;)

:work: :D

Dude

Somebody got some waders I can borrow for the tournament or a tractor innertube. Woo Hoo!

There are some that should be used to it by now. :cool: :smokin:
