The reputation I have heard is the typical politics that you hear about every sport. I guess I got offended because it was dropped in December and you came back in April continuing the negativity. Land Shark asked a pretty nonthreatening question and you kinda went off. I'm sure your a nice guy, I may have taken your comments a little to negative, but I guess the "better off without you" comment struck a nerve. No organization (including the government) will not have complainers and people who question the system. That's why I live in the USA......for my right to do just that. I to, am sorry if I came across too rough, looking forward to discussing things with you in the future.

I don't like to beat around the bush either. The last negative comment was in December, so why start it up again. The first post this month simply ask a question that could of been answered politely. Second, we have every right to discuss whatever we want on this board, that's the sole reason for it's existence. It's your attitude that gives the STJFL is reputation. From the STJFL website, " It shall be the mission of this organization to implant the importance of academics, good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, integrity, and courage of the children, parents, coaches and volunteers for the betterment of all involved in this organization now and for years to follow." Your attitude showed lack of good sportsmanship and integrity. You should go back and read your By laws!

Thanks for verifying. I guess he's in charge of Public Relations :

also pay attention to the times and locations. High tide in Galveston is not at the same time as Sabine Pass.

May 30th is good for me, thats what I voted because "either" was not availible at the time ;D

Good idea tvc......

We are hoping one of the last two Saturdays in May will be good to have the tournament. It was a straight up tie, so we are undecided if it will be a fresh or salt tournament. So far, Bullets, TVC and myself are going to set this up. Once we find a date, we will go with a location. If you have any questions, post them or PM me. Let's get this thing GOIN!!!!!

One of the coolest articles I have read in awhile! Good Luck Old Men ;D

I think as long as one person in the boat is a member of sextsports.com, it is good to go. yup

Bullets??? You started this thread, wanna meet this week and work out some details??

well, lets get this thing going. Who wants to set it up or help?? Its a tie 8-8 for fresh or salt. It matters not to me. I'm more familiar with Bass tournaments than salt. So, if we do salt, I will need help. If we do fresh, I say largest stringer. So, we need some volunteers..........who's up for it?? Suggestion, we do $25.00 per person and fish teams of 2, so 50 dollars a boat. After determining how many boats we will have, we can figure out how many places will pay. What do y'all think??

It's a great idea and for a good cause, but you spend some $$$$$$$$$$$ fishing this tourney. The chances of getting in the money are very slim. I fished it 7 times and the one time I caught a big fish, 7.15lbs.........took 51st place. They stopped paying at 50th. Soooo, I think I'm done.

Hey tvc.........what do they say, A bad days fishin is.......

Toledo was puzzling! Beautiful weather (except for the 30 mph gust)...........not many fish. Last week the water was stained from the rain, this week it was good except around the mill creek area. most fisherman I spoke with said the spawn was over. I'm not 100% sure myself, but did not see any fish on beds. If it is over, it was a short spawn. I still caught a few fish in 4 - 6 ft of water. It was spinner baits and Texas rigged worms. Tried wacky with no success. Did catch enough to have a small fish fry, but nothing to brag about. The largest fish was about 3 1/2 lbs...........

Last year I carolina rigged a deep diver crank bait..........used a 1 ounce weight and adjusted leader to about 4 ft off bottom. It makes the crank bait stay there because it floats......works well in the summer hmmmm might have to try that out! headed to Toledo in exactly 18 minutes......will give an update when I get back Sunday evening.

I've done well with small spinners like you said and also top water swimmers like small original Rapalas. tvc is right on the money. In the creek small baits will work better than larger baits.......like an H&H spinner bait. Also, bass usually dont group in any one area. You have to fish an area, catch a couple, then find a duplicate area.

In village creek, find the cuts with cypress knees. I fished a spinner bait (white) and did well. A texas riged or wacky worm should do good as well.

slightly too coherent. You screwed up and used spell check!!!!!!!!

If it's done fairly quickly. tvc is right. 2 weeks ago I seen fish on beds............last weekend after 5 inches of rain and the cold front, fish got deep again. I caught a few fish in 12 foot of water on Sunday. This week they should be back spawning...............the prime is in the next few weeks. It will taper from there.....

Village creek has some bass in it if your around Lumberton......you can rent a canoe for about $35.00 for a day. I want to do that this summer. Last summer I figured out where bass hang out in a creek.....different than a lake for sure. Your other choice would be saltwater off the bank. You can read some post on this topic and find some locations. send me a PM, I live in Lumberton and coach as well.

I like that idea.

Kinda strange, 14 Yes, 0 No.......and 8 fresh + 7 salt = 15. My first survey, give me a break!

Finally some response!! ;D Looks like its a tie fresh and salt...........maybe 2 tourneys???

11 voting so far and freshwater has lead.
