Actually....if s.c. or Casey don't wanna do it, those of us planning to attend can still fish and hang out? That's what it's all about anyway right?

100% payout wouldn't exactly be a charity event.

I don't have enough help to get this done. I have four sponsors this year that want to donate, I normally have about 40. I have half of the people that normally help me that won't even be in town.

Nobody is more disappointed about this than me. I put four years of work into this only to see it not make this year.

If people want to do it maybe next year people will pay early like we beg every year and offer to help.

Squeaky wheel are you willing to take off work the week of the tournament and go get tables and chairs and set them up? Can you order the t shirts for me? HOw many do we need, what sizes? What about food, can you cook it? Talk to the sponsors let me know if they will reconsider. Will you be the weigh master for us? Do you have a scale? Order trophies? Have a PA system you can setup? This is a partial list, I can keep going.

If you rented a place you can still enjoy the weekend and fish. There just won't be a big salty Cajun charity event and that stinks. I'm with you.

Yep not a problem. You guys can of course still all fish and do whatever you want on your own. You can't use our name or sponsors and we are letting calc point go but you guys can contact calc point and rent it yourself in your own names if you would like.

It's not a matter of Casey not wanting to do it, it is a matter of Casey not having time and not having the help this year for it to be possible.

I meant bc this one is canceled take this date that everyone has already planned to take off. And run with it and make it 100% payout since its late notice and wont have sponsors.

I have scales. And i agree completely with this idea. Charities and sponsors make everything very complicated.

Bring your own chairs

Not that charity events arent a good thing.

We participated in fishing for memories this weekend. Great event. Quite a big production tho

Wacha think about that idea ckinchen? Bring your own chairs and food, let a sponsor chip in if they want, and pay the entry money back to the winners. Would you host that kind of event?

Just simplify the whole thing. I can't imagine the headache of organizing it in the format of the previous years.

Get with me next year Casey and I will be able to do some of that stuff on your list. And can possibly line up some of the other stuff. I understand how much work it is and I know how busy everybody is this time of year. I did offer my help several times before and I never heard back so I figured yall had it covered.

I always have a bunch of money donated from here in central tx!! And always ask what I can do to help.
Where's this you have no help coming from??

Me and duckman got in trouble lastyear when Yall were going to cancel it!!! Wth ??

Sorry to hear this, guess I'll take some of the blame too, I planned on paying on July 1st. As well If I was closer I would help out.

Rather than focus on the disappointment, I'd like to thank Casey, the SC helpers, and all the participants for the great tournaments in the past years and especially for all the donations that were able to be made to the great charities (Little Angels and St. Nicholas Center).

Good deeds, once done, are not undone.

Tru dat. Well said

Imma fish no matter what....and i repeat.... I have scales if Yall wanna compare stringers

I will talk to some folks tonight and see if we can have a smaller version if you guys want to go that route.

I do. I don't care about a shirt, a door prize, a check, or a meal (although that jambalaya is stellar).....all i want is a trophy and bragging rights when i win.

I would like to do it if we can. My kids love the youth division and I really enjoy seeing all of our members and helping a good cause.

I'm down with whatever. I wasn't gona be trout fishing anyway. I'm down with beer drinking and bs' ing.
Andy C if you gona be at the camp we coming tourney or not bro. I'll bring another 5th of Makers Mark. Did ya ever hang that print in the camp?
