    And, what percent of the money will be paid back? What is the entry fee? Also, is there any guaranteed money for 1st place or big fish?

    try and make sure it doesnt conflict with any of the bigger 'trails'


    entry fee
    who is beneficiary
    % payback


    I like june

    imo TECO screwed up bigtime when they moved out of june...

    I'm with Adam. I would be in if the payout is right and it does not conflict with any major tx trails.

    I think he is saying that they are paying back to 25% of the field, i.e. 1 out of 4 boats. At least I hope that is what he means.

    My thoughts exactly, I normally wont fish unless its somewhere around a 70-80% payback. I remember one year we were second in what was called the catfish fest. Ed Taylor Sr assisted with the weigh in at Crescent City. We won like 200. We were likethis is BS, there were like 70 boats. After the gas and entry fee we may have won 25$ apiece Do the math. LE/Preston was first , we were second and Lee had third and we were all disappointed by the pay out ( This was 10-12 years ago). But after that I always ask for the percentage being paid out.
