See ya on the water :+

I'm looking forward to some giants. This is going to be a good one.

I'd like to try and make this one! sounds fun. Now where's the stats and results from the last tournament you just had? :-)

Mike you'll really like this event.

FYI: I didnt fish in 06 but took 3rd in 05 dropshotting :)

LOL, Thanks John for that vote of dropshot confidence! Man i need to shack that tag!:+

Its not a bad thing to be tagged for something you good at.

OH SURE! Play up the guy that gets "The bigger one"..LOL.You know there was some one else in that tourament that had a 11 and change lb'r but ended up in second on big fish...UGH! .. nobody wants to hear about second...lol

All kidding aside, this is a great event, I have fished this lake twice for this event with a 2nd and a 4th. To me this is a perfect lake to floattube or kickboat, the size of it makes it that way. Not to mention the very large Bass! Coyote Bait and Tackle puts on a great raffle too.

Was going to be fishing the WON BASS Pro/Am (which is on the same weekend) but plans may be changing....

:-)

OK Here is Bryans from the same weekend..Happy now :P

Man I feel like a piece of bait :D lol.

I won't have a chance to go for the 3 peat this year. Gotta go to a wedding in LA. You guys should enjoy some good fishin though especially if we don't get pounded by rain storms like last year.

Ok....For all those guys that told me they didn't want to fish this cus they were just giving thier money to Rob.....No excusses now!!

...man, I have to start taking those pics with my arms out further...:+

I WANT ROB THERE!

I'm in the process of wedding sabotage :+

You know I always want a piece of you Lake, and you know I would be there if I could - even though I'm fishing the National Guard Delta and a team tournament the two weeks prior }(

I would be more afraid of Nico though for this tournament if he fishes :) You'll have all the competition you want.

That is the truth. Nico has been the coyotemaster. (spoken with a nick accent)

IFISH say's,

Then say, " Coyote Masta ". x( ( my asian smiley face )

IFISH

Is there any hotels nearby?

Bill, yes there are a couple of hotels close by, a couple miles from the lake. I can't remember exactly whitch ones but I could find out and let you know. You could also camp out at the lake.

Bryan,

Too much weight to hold out with your arms extended.

I know...now your going to hit the weights ..pump um up so that you can take a photo with you holding a double D RIGHT ? or was that ...." DD "

Naaaaw, Can't get all pumped up, it would make all those toads I catch look small...lol

:P

Ahhhh, so that's true what they say about DD's.... they're pumped up, ohhhhhh! But you still gotta love em.

You guys all crack me up sometimes. All this innuendo and stuff.

I bet this thread would be deleted already if it was on the Fish Sniffer forum!

Did Mitch say inmunudo? :+ :7 I guess I'm just having a swampy moment:o :7

dood what are you talking about..your 1st post about the event would have been nuked if it were on fishsniffer

I've been known to be a fish sniffer myself ;-)

>dood what are you talking about..your 1st post about the
>event would have been nuked if it were on fishsniffer

Yea, they nuked Mitch's announcement even though Coyote Bait & Tackle is a regular, paying Fish Sniffer advertiser!

Ya I sure opened a can of worms over there yesterday trying to pass on some information about the CBT open. It was still going on today but I couldn't participate since I have been banned for 5 lifetimes LOL :P

Any way here is the last thing the moderators posted about this topic.

Please note in registration agreement:

Nice folks those Fish Sniffer moderators and admins. I guess they can do whatever they like, it is their sandbox after all. I won't be part of it.
I hope people find this sandbox to their liking.

The last straw that led to my banning was when I invited all Fish Sniffer forum readers to come on over to the float tube kickboat forum here to get the info. Apparently the Fish Sniffer don't like competition; either on the water of off!

Remind me to tell y'all the whole story sometime it will make you laugh. :+

I notice how people bounce around from message board to message board. Just for this reason. The message board nazi's. Some folks take this stuff way too seriously. I can sorta understand them not liking the invites to other sites. They probably gotta keep their viewers up to keep their advertisers and sponsors. It's a business for some people.

Ok....... I won't even touch 'innuendo'! But you can bet it would've been funny. I crack me up!

Hey guys!

BassinRob here. New to this forum. Awesome site and very intresting event. I've got an inflatable boat that I will use in this years Coyote Open.

Looking back at the previous years, this event was a great one!

I'm looking forward to joining you all this time arround.

I'll be in my Sea Eagle inflatable, stop by and say HI.

See you all on the water.

Happy Fishing!

BassinRob!!!

Very cool, we'll see you there

Yeah, that was pretty lame. They deleted my post in a different thread because I linked to this site (didn't realize all the drama that happened). It's disappointing since alot of guys I talk to from the bass section have started picking up pontoons and float tubes. I fish with a few of them and there should be a few that are going to give the open a try. I don't get why they won't let you post...it's on their "Upcoming Events Calender" :*

hey guys we will be coming down to the coyote open.thaught we would try some new stuff this year.theresa,steve,jeremy

Hey Theresa (and everyone else),

Make you sure you get the entry form and mail it in with your payments by the 24th.

I do think we will be launching from the ramp instead of the campground as the flyer says due to the low water level.
Right paul?

MT

I called coyotee bait n tackle and talked to then and they said the watter levels will be fine by the tourney. If not this may be problem for me because I wont have a way to transport my kb to the ramp. I will be getting droped off friday morning and I wont have access to a a vechile until that afternoon. I will probaly have to row to the ramp in the morning.

abner

Ps please let me know where the weigh in is for sure so i can try to make some kind of arrangements

i am sure we can get people to help you move your boat around so no worry there as for weigh in it will be at 3pm with raffle afterwards

FIT

FIT I think he wanted to know where weigh in will be as well? Ramp?

B.C I will more then likely be alone and have a full size truck. i will be staying at the campground friday night and see no reason I cant give you a lift to the ramp in the morning.

thanks for stepping up Lake and helping out with his boat

and yes the check-in and weigh-in will be held at the ramp

FIT

Hey Paul, I was asked if the entry fee includes the $5.00 to get into the park. My buddy Rob was checking out the lake this weekend and the Ranger told him this.

David Brown

Dave, The entry is for the tournament only and does not include the park entry fee.

MT

Can we park/launch where ever we like? How should I bring my fish to the weigh in if I'm using a follow me bag?

You can launch any where after the Tournament Director gives the "launch ok" at the launch site, but you have to row/kick back to the wiegh in site. You can not transport your catch any way besides on the water. That means by your own means of transportation on the water, no out side help from other boats either. Correct me Paul, Mitch if I missed something....

See you guys on Friday....
