Thanks for the advice Shade. Get busy and get one going out west. Right now I got my hands full trying to get one going in the east end and working full time.

Everything had been sold except the trolling rods. I want to move these and will sell the 4 for $70.00. Going fishing until Monday and they will go to the first one who responds. Thanks Glen

I'll take the 10 lb Chris. Bring it up this weekend. You got 2 10's? How about 2 12's you want to get rid of? Glen

I was up to Mexico Bay this past weekend. I was planning on doing some research for a place to hold a tournament but it's to early in the season. A couple of people and places I had planned to visit are not arouind/open yet. If anybody can get a lead or two on some place to hold a tourney let me know. Seems like the interest is definately there. Thanks Glen

Wish I could make it but theres fish to catch. Hank let me know if you want to hook a few while your in the neighborhood. The infamous Richard might let you in on a couple of his tricks. Glen

Got to tell you Mr. Hank knows his business and as already mentioned, it might be a good idea to take his advice. Good luck Glen

You can use any rod but the question would be whether or not your going to be able to enjoy the battle of the fish or just wench them in. Good luck Glen

Don't have any experience with Lowrance as I have always run Garmin and have been happy with them. Good luck Glen

That should work fine. Glen

LBG. It would closely resemble the old proam rules with the exception of a 6 fish 6 rod limit so 2 man teams could compete. And absolutely NO COMMUNICATION. No one who has a Capts license or who has run charters in the past would be allowed to fish. I would like to see observers which would mean 3 on the boat but when the time comes we would see what the popular vote would be. As mentioned there are many things more difficult than the rules that need to be nailed down. If any of you guys from around the lake could ask around and see if anybody would be willing to work with us at different ports that would be great. Tackle shops, Marinas, local tourist organizations, things like that are necessary to get the ball rolling. I'm going to be doing some sniffing around in the Mexico area of the lake the next couple of weeks. Glen

You got a pm luv2rapala. Glen

For you, just for today the prices are doubled. Sent you a pm Richard. I'll be up this weekend. Glen

That would have to be determined as would the rules. Theres alot involved and I'm just trying to determine if theres enough interest in a serious proam style, am only tornament. Glen

I'm looking to get an idea if a serious amatuer only Tournament would work. Personally I would like to see one similiar to the old proam but without the BS rule changing every year. And most important...NO COMMUNICATION Glen

No it's not anything like the Challenges. What it's like is the am division of the proams without the affiliation. And yes, Lateron is a charter. It certainly won't be an easy feat to get going and the chances of if happening aren't great but it's possible. I'm all for it and will help in anyway I can. Glen

I like it except for the no observer part Although observers are not a perfect solution they are a big asset when it comes to keeping people on the up and up. Were ever theres money and prestige involved, you will always get some low life that will want to cheat. I hate it but it's a fact. Other than that it sounds like fun and with a two man team you can now still run a 6 rod spread. Glen

Yup.

Nice.

You got it.

Yes they are available Jayrfred. Sent you a PM. Glen

Thanks for looking Glen

And usually a better option.

They will all catch fish at one time or another. Your job is to find which ones will produce on any specific day and conditions. Best way to do that is put um in the water and drag them through fish and pay attention to details. Good luck. Glen
