NEED YOU TEXAS BOYS HELP!!

[BigStickFishing]

HEY EVERYONE I AM TRYING TO GET SOME FEEDBACK ABOUT PUTTING TOGETHER SOME JACKPOT TOURNAMENTS. I HAVE RUN MANY LEAGUES BEFORE SUCH AS GOLF, BOWLING, RACING ETC. BASICALLY I AM TIRED OF THE POLITICS AND LAC OF MONEY IN BASS CLUB TOURNAMENTS. I AM MEAN SERIOUSLY WHY DOES A BASS CLUB NEED A BANK ACCOUNT WITH A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS IN IT? ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SPECTRUM THERE ARE SOME GOOD TOURNAMENT TRAILS OUT THERE TO LIKE BASS CHAMPS, FEDERATION, STREN THAT COME TO TEXAS. WHICH I HAVE FISHED IN AND ENJOYED. BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS I HAVE A 45 HOUR A WEEK JOB AND IT IS NOT BEING A PROFESSIONAL FISHERMAN. I GUESS I AM WHAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER A SEMI PROFESSIONAL. BOTTOM LINE IS I CANT GO TO AMISTAD, CHOKE, OR FALCON AND CATCH THE 35+ POUNDS NEEDED TO FINISH IN THE TOP FIVE UNLESS I JUST HAVE MY BEST DAY ON THE WATER. SO HERE IS WHAT I AM PROPOSING! I AM GOING TO START A ONCE A MONTH JACKPOT SERIES THAT WILL BE SIMILAR TO A BASS CLUB BUT ONLY A ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP FEE $15 JUST TO COVER THE BASICS NEEDED TO RUN A BASS TOURNAMENT. SUCH AS A SCALE, OFFICE SUPPLIES, WEBSITE MAINTENANCE, ETC. BUT THE DIFFERENCE WILL BE ALL THE MONEY WILL BE PUT IN THE POT NONE OF THIS 65% TO THE POT 25% TO THE CLUB 10% TO GOD KNOWS WHAT. JUST MAKE IT TO WERE IF YOU ACTUALLY WIN YOU MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO COVER YOU EXPENSES FOR THE WEEKEND OR MAYBE A LITTLE MORE. SO HERE IS HOW IT WILL SHAKE OUT.

ONE TOURNAMENT A MONTH, TWO PERSON TEAMS, $15 ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP, $55 ONE DAY ENTRY PER TEAM, $85 TWO DAY ENTRY PER TEAM, $5 PER ENTRY WILL GO TO BIG BASS (TWO DAY WILL BE $5 PER DAY), TOURNAMENT WILL PAY ONE PLACE PER EVERY FIVE ENTRIES, AND THERE WILL BE A 100% PAY BACK ON THE POT.

SO ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL. I KNOW THIS IS A LITTLE LONG WINDED FOR THE FORUM BUT IF ANY OF YOU HAVE SOME LONG RESPONSES YOU CAN SEND THEM TO MY EMAIL AT JOSHUASPENCER46@YAHOO.COM

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE,

You might check on AustinBassFishing.com. The TTZ1 guys run a weekly Wed's nighter on Lake Austin. It has been going on for a while. It started out as ABF (Austin Bass Fishing). They also run some Lake Travis tourney's throughout the year. Everyone comments that these are well run and they have a good time. I have been trying to make one of these for a while.

Probably hit up Andy Nguyen or Eric Austin and they would probably respond and help.

Good Luck.

Do it were you don't fish choke Amistad and Falcon. it seems every tournament around is on these lakes and it gets old fishing them ,try new lakes. You make not catch big stringers . But it might make some people have to learn some skills to fish them.

i dont agree with leaving any of the best lakes in texas out of the tournaments. I would do the best lakes in texas if i wanted a good field of fishermen

[BigStickFishing]

Well guys i am sorry i have not posted the new draft yet, been super busy. Yes we will fish Amistad, and Choke but not sure about Falcon. That is just a long haul and pretty costly. i will have a new draft posted by lunch time for ya'll to over look.
Thank you

From the center of San Antonio, Falcon is just another 30 min ...
