All entrants must be at launch site to sign in for tournament and await "shotgun" start, but may leave and launch elsewhere if they wish.


can the few of us who rented a camp at heberts just leave from there?

:shaking::shaking::shaking: That ain't what the rules say. :shaking::shaking::shaking:

I think you're going to have to lauch there then go to Cal Pt by boat for the start.

True, true...

Don't be cheap, burnt dat gas.

Yall drive in your automobile to calc.point and launch at calc point.



Quit trying to get around the rules bruce! :p

i'm fishing out of heberts if i'm stayin there, whether i enter tourny or not

Im lauching at HEBERTS But will drive my boat to Cal Point for the Start and Check in.

Dang, seems pretty simple to me. launch wherever. Go to Cal point, tie off boat, sign in, meet and greet for awhile go to boat and wait for shotgun bang, then head for the weirs.

I am probley going to launch at Ellenders Bridge and cut across to Cal. Point. Sign in, Pay fees and wait on the BOOM STICK and safely head out. That's legal aint it??

I guess we can do it like this. But in all my tourneys that require you to sign up that day, if you are planning on launching else where, you show up to sign in, and when we say go, you get in truck and drive to your launch. If allowing to launch elsewhere before sign in, people get to see water color, tides, wind, etc.

We'll talk it over.

i was just being difficult fool, i'll check in

How long will that take you to get there???? About 7 minutes in that new boat?????

4 minutes 28 seconds !!

What ever the rules are I'll be true to them. I don't know anything about Cal Point but I guess I'll find out. It sounds like there is going to be a lot of folks there filling the parking area, not only with the trailers and trucks but vehicles carrying fishermen without boats, spectators, sponcers, visitors that just want to see the catches. There are a lot of guys coming to fish that are not familiar with the lake. There will also be the regular locals coming out to launch as well.
Is there a launch charge at Cal Point. If we know what it is we can have the correct amount on hand to help speed the process. Huntin fool, I'll wait for you and Speckdaddy to rule on this issue. I will probley fish Friday so I can find these locations and also find the clear water.

no charge at cal point

Thanks Shawn.

I dont see a problem with driving your boat to Cal Point as long as you get out and check in with Fool and Speckdaddy....but we will ask once you dock to hang out in the middle or side to let guys who need to check in sign up

the launch/parking area can probably handle 200 boat/trailers, dock can handle at least 10+

atta boy ....deep breath!!!!

I'll be launching at Ellender's and motoring over. I'll hang out wherever...

guys, no problems i can see with launchin and motorin over to the official launch site.but, you must register and stay in launch area to await start.any guys haulin tail before will be disqualified.we are tryin ta keep it simple and easy as long as noone tries ta camp out on a hole or someones spot.lets get it on guys!!

YEP///// Everyone must ......I MEAN MUST CHECK IN to at Cal POINT AN WAIT WITH OTHERS!!! .....You have to check in with you or fool

yessir, noone can prepay for the tourney, thats why i want everyone ta pay at the launch,that way i get ya name and you are ready for the start.itll be a lil hectic checkin everyone in, but we have a great buncha guys and we are gonna kick arse for this tourney.times gettin short, whos gonna pull in the biggest trout???? huh??? who?????:D

waders will get the biggest trout

Hey, bro...I'm working on getting a credit card processing contract set up currently. Assuming it gets set up in the next month or so, I can take credit card payments for entries in advance. That would save y'all a helluva lot of pain on tourney day. ;)

They'd still have to checkin at Cal Point on tourney day to get their entry number, wristband, or whatever to prove they are in the tourney.

True dat

doesnt sound too bad.when ya get it up and runnin, lets all have a talk,me,fool,micah,and w, and see if this will be the way ta go.thanks for the help..speckdaddy

have a few guys that want to pay with Foodstamps??? Speck you taking those?

SC Cash! Never leave the launch witoutit!

i cant wait.i will be there for sure.

You takin WIC?

:*****::*****::*****::rolleyes:

Will ya'll have some sort of paper we need to fill out with team members, team name, type of boat...Just a thought but that may also help out a bit with keeping track of who's signed up.

yeah we will, we are actually waitin and tryin new forms and such for the sign in.i may even try ta get sum arm bands if they are available,we arent tryin ta make this hard on anyone, so we will letcha guys know what we come up with. keep the questions and comments comin guys, we need em!!!!:grinpimp:

This must be a La. or W thing can someone decipher.


Sounds to me like If I throw in a few dollars they going to stuff some weights in my fish!!!!!:D

My fishing partner guides part time during the summer. Will it be a problem if he is on my team?

shouldn't be a problem
