Idea
 

B4 there was a thought about salty cajun i was a member of another forum that was great. We did a charity tourney every year just like the one last weekend .
But other times of the year we would get together for what we called a Bungle.
Was a fishin tourney ,But w/o all the prizes and sponsors.
Mostly we got together for the party and to fish . We were fishing for bragging rights and just to have a great time and have some good food.
IMHO, This would be the best way to do the tourney thing here on salty cajun.
Have one major tourney every year for the charity fund and a few more in different places just as a good time.
that way we are not asking our sponsors and others that donate to help out the cause every few months.
I missed the Big lake tourney but i plan to make any more that come up .
Lets just get together as a group and fish the island and toledo bend and false river and lets keep the focus once a year on one really big blowout for the charity. again JMHO! Bob
What say the members?

I deff. like this idea keep it simple..! :cheers:

That is what I have been thinking. Maybe we could all throw in a few bucks for the Charity still and have a seperate side pot and bragging rights for the winner. I go on three small fishing trips with podnahs every year. Toledo, Big Lake and then another in some new place, this year GI...

Im down for having any kind of get together but Im spead all over this year with the SFA and CCA.......Then work..........SO you guys get a plan and make it happen If im free you can count me in............Sounds great

i'd like to see a grand isle get together, when is the surf the best?

Right on the money Eman

X 2

I would say may/june

The bass tournament is going to be a get-together tournament, not charity.

Small little get together to catch green trout!

May /June / july are all good.
I like late may /early june.
July and august can be brutal from the heat ,even when standing waist deep in the surf.

You think I could stay down there by myself or with one of you guys?:cry:

nope

fished a bass club for years.
we fished once a month for a brass tag with our wieght on it.
top three places and big bass. Likely cost a buck a piece.

the brother hood was way more important.

As soon as we tried to add "more" we broke apart.

maybe one "big" fundraiser event and the others a bragging right.
like a corner of the home page of Salty cajun with your mug picture and the winning wieght............

Good idea eman

I don't blame ya :shaking: :smokin:

That's the great thing about the island.
There are motel rooms for 2 up to camps that sleep 30.
None of them are cheap in the summer.
When we get a little more planning on a grand isle trip i will make some calls and see what is available.
I have a friend to stay with ( real cheap).
But just remember that you CAN NOT wait untill a week or two b4 you want to fish to book rooms or camps in G.I. in the summer time.
There are only 3 or 4 marinas where you can leave the boat in the water and they book up fast.

I'm down for any get together, whether its fishing or just eating and hanging out. As long as I am not offshore, you can count me in.

Ill be in G.I. June 9th thru 13th, tearing up the surf and the snapper......wife, kids, and I......you got a family, that's the time to go. 2nd trout spawn is on the beaches, heat isn't to brutal yet, snapper season is open, grass lines in close..........perfect.......

Every get-together certainly shouldn't be a fundraiser, but I expect there will be 2-3 large ones per year that are. Smaller one-off tourneys are fine also. Organize one and go do it. Don't gripe about how the others are run if you don't want to step up and take the bull by the horns yourself, or even show up at the ones that are organized as forum-sponsored events. The large forum-sponsored events will have a fundraising basis, but anyone can organize a smaller tourney on their own.

:thefinger::thefinger::thefinger::thefinger::thefi nger:

Yep
 

That's kinda what I was getting at in some of the other threads.

G/I sounds good to me. I like the fun tourney's also. No pressure. e-man, it looks like you have some good knowlege about G/I, also Meaux fishin knows the area too. Yall get together and set a date. If you guy's don't mind. I'm willing to do anything that I can do to help.

Does the gulf settle down in June??? I'm like Tim, I'd love to go get some snapper...

I didn't see anyone griping about anything.
We can make this happen but i don't think that you will get sponsors to contribute 2 or 3 times a year.
like i said one BIG tourny yearly and bungles the rest of the time.
If ev1 wants to pitch in a few bucks for the cause we can donate.
I would rather fish for braggin rights and let funds go to the foundation.

I agree with that. Any prizes will be donated items going forward. Other than those prizes and maybe a few trophies, it is just a fun event. Having sponsors just makes it more fun because there are door prizes, etc.

I think our official SC tourney each year will be a 2-part or 3-part tourney, maybe 2 saltwater events (east and west) and a freshwater event. We're working on the details now.

its gonna be sweeeeeetttttttt!!!!!!

its good from may to august, but august is when the lil cool snaps start layin the surf down. them big gals show up in force in august!!!! ankle deep throwin topwater,and slammin em.:smokin:

Eman, you talking about huntnfish? Good times!

Yeah, I was on there. Good bunch. I remember you, Barrett.

Yes Sir i am . Hunt nfish was the most laid back friendly site i have ever been on. and they had bungles that i don;t know could ever be matched,

I still keep intouch with a good bit of friends from there. Those Bungles were fun, what can be remembered anyway!

Last year for the July 4th weekend, the winds were whipping out the West, like they were last weekend on Big Lake.

Yea Ray. I went last year the weekend before the forth and couldn't get but about 1/2 way out of the jetties.

We could do a get together at the same time as the speckled trout rodeo on memorial day weekend...then people could compete in a tourney if they want we could still have our own side pots/bragging rights....long weekend...there is still alot of camps open that weekend

i'd like to see a grand isle get together, when is the surf the best?

mothers day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
