Oilman's Saltwater Championship
 

Anyone else on here has a dog in this fight?

Oilman's Saltwater Championship - June 23-25, 2011
Calcasieu Point Landing

We will be running the "OutFoxed" and I plan on departing around 4am and running to the Flower Gardens for some bluewater action.

Just seeing if anyone else will be going.

Not me, but it sounds like a good time!

Sent from my EVO

depends, does the "OutFoxed" need a deck hand? :grinpimp:

If they have a trout division I'm in...

Now we talking!!!

i just want the door prizes

would a 19 foot cc be able to keep up with you, and how far out is this.

is this different from the oilman's rodeo held in cocodrie

Yes, way different than the Houma Oilman's!!!! Been there, done that - got the candy wrapper!!!

They have inside and outside catagories, so let it fly!

The Flower Gardens are a marine sanctuary in the Gulf of Mexico about 100 miles out of Cameron. They have multiple charter boats that are regulars out there from Galveston. It is a natural coral reef system containing acres of coral reefs coming up as shallow as 60'. If you are into diving, this is a must have on the divers "bucket list". Google it or go to Youtube for videos. The NMFS has a whole website dedicated to this ecosystem and I have been 4 times. Lots of good fishing and diving, but it's a long, long run.

So in other words, unless you bring a fuel barge in tow, nope - don't think the 19' cc will make it.

Sorry Shawn, our company entry fee was $3K and all the spots are filled. So without a wrist ban, you won't even get into the parties! - Yeah, I know - SUCKS!

And we have elected to make this a "couples" trip so the ladies can smoke the women's division (hopefully)!

sounds cool, I'd like to see pics of your catch, Good luck!

Brian ALWAYS has good pictures!!!

Sounds fun. I have been on a few dive trips and have always wanted to go to flower gardens. Long boat ride...

link to a flyer with fees/rules?

Their site must have been revamped over the last week or so........and it really, really sucks - BAD! Not sure what they are thinking. But anyway, I will post their web address here. I will also scan and upload the paper registration form on here on Monday since it is at my office.

I have been diving at the flower gardens and it is sweeeet!!!! Spent 3 days and did a night dive.

Did you go with a guide? I would like to check that out one day.

When I was in college worked at true blue watersports and they would make and book the trips. Check them out, they might be still doing it.

anyone know who to contact for info and entry fee?
