Lake Fork Crappie Tournament News

From Tournament Director / Mark Howard of J C Outdoors Team Tournament Series:

First off let me say what an awesome event we had Saturday.
The weather was absolutely perfect for a day on the water. Allthough the bite was tough many anglers still were able to catch fish.
Second let me say that without our sponsors we would not be able to operate this tournament and raise funds for "Light For The Lost" and "India Tribals In Ministry".
Please thank all of our sponsors including many you will recognize.

Marco,s Fishermans Supply...................$150.00 for big fish
Wally Marshall always steps up to the plate with door prizes and this year was no exception.
Wally and I could not cross paths due to mine and his busy schedules.
He called Bass Pro in Garland and had 4 rod and reel combos, 4 tackle packs and 4 spools of line waiting for me.

OTHER SPONSORS INCLUDE:
Jigum Jigs Matthew Carrol for some quality jig packs for our anglers.
Lake Fork Area News for publishing our tournament in her paper. ......Thanks Shirley

2008  LAKE FORK NIGHT TOURNAMENTS
J C Outdoors will be hosting four open night tournaments beginning in July with 2 tournaments to be held each month.
Dates:
July 12, 2008
July 26, 2008
August 9, 2008
August 23, 2008
 6 Hour Tournament start time 7:30pm to 1:30am
$130.00 team entry
85% payout
3 fish weigh-in
$10.00 of each entry transfers to a BB pot which pays for over 24" fish only. If no one weighs in an over in the first tournament the pot will carry over to the second tournament and so on until the pot is won. If no overs are weighed-in during the tournament series (very unlikely) the monies will added to the last tournament in August stringer payouts. If the angler weighing a over 24" fish did not fish the previous tournaments his BB payout will be prorated according to the events he has fished and the monies remaining will carry over to the next event. Tournament is open to all anglers except Lake Fork guides. No membership, no points, no plaques or championship.


Congrats to all of the anglers who competed this year in the 2008 Lake Fork Spring Trail. We were truly blessed by each of you for a being a part of this trail and we are looking forward to the next series in the fall of 2008 starting September 6, 2008.

Billy and Kay Dyson repeated this season as Anglers of the Year coming back from a two point deficit going into this last tournament to win by a nearly 10 point margin over the second place point standings of Eric Wright and Robert Feagin.

The top 16 teams in point standings after dropping the worst finish and only counting the best 5 finishes are as follows. Side note the dropping of the worst finish did not bump or add anyone to the top 16 it only moved a few folks around, the field stayed the same.
