St. Judes tournament

[fishinjohn]

Does anyone have any info on this tournament? This one is always a lot of fun.

[carl milks]

Hav'nt heard anything yet. I'll try to get a hold of Randy or Deadeye and see if they got the dates set yet and post it. I've fished every one of these since it started- and yes, it's a good one for a good cause.

[Bryan Hoffner]

yes let us know, I am pretty sure I'm in this year

[coalbedbuck]

If I had a good reliable boat, the wife and I would be in..
Its the only tourney I've ever fished, didnt do very well either time I entered. But it is alot of fun and I've got a few stories to tell!!

[carl milks]

Just got off the phone with Randy- Sunday, May 16th for St Judes Tourny out of Willow Bay.

[fishinjohn]

Sweet thanks carl!! I think i have the week prior off for vaca. I'll be able to pre fish all week andstill get skunked on tourney day..

[Bryan Hoffner]

fishinjohn, isn't that the fun part of Kinzua fishing/then tournament day. just when you think that maybe just maybe because we had a decent to good week before hand. then Blah, why did you get your hopes up.

[fishinjohn]

Yea no doubt bryan. You could have a year like i did last year, pre fished 4 days prior to the St. Judes and fished the tourney and NEVER boated a legal eye in 50 hours of fishing, i had a real rough spring last year. Hopefully got that crap out of my system for this year.

[Grizzly Gary]

Looking forward to it! Always great fun for a great cause! Billy the Burke "Rookie Righthander" from Pittsburgh will be my partner for this one.

Watch out boys & girls! We plan on kicking some booty this year!!!

[fishinjohn]

Gary if you're gonna kick some "booty" guess you better get a bigger pair of boots....

[Bryan Hoffner]

Yep, gave one of my ace in the holes the final pep talk on giving me what he wants to fish.He has until the end of the month to give final verdict. Then I'll fill the rest in with Kevin and J-K. Hopefully J-K's still interested, he was a couple weeks ago.

[Bryan Hoffner]

Ws just thinking, what's the cost generally set at for this tourny?

[J-k]

Hoffner let me tell you, the one that got away last year will not happen this year! Oh things would have been different last year. Had a ton of fun last year and im more than willing to Fish with you again this year. If there is any way you could let me know by the middle of april what tournaments you need me for? This would help me alot for planning some events in may! Looking forward to spending some time on the water with you!

Bryan, If memory serves me right, it was either $90 or $100 last year- I'm leaning on the $90 with optional Big Fish entry seperate.

[fishinjohn]

I thought it was 100 with ten for the big fish, or it may have been 100 and big fish wasn't optional.

By then should be no problem J-K. As I mentioned a few minutes ago when I ran into you while weaving my way through the warehouse, Cole said no to both DAV's (he hates after June tournies and they don't let you have different partners and keep points like Tom does) and he kind of shrugged his shoulders about the rest then. Kinda sucks, I was hoping to get him back in action. One more loose end to be tied

[zenrider]

It is pretty cool seeing all those boats at the bay ready for action. Lot of variety there. Everything from clunkers to showroom condition. Good luck out there.

[Melissa]

Hoff - let me know if you need someone to pre-fish with!!

[Bryan Hoffner]

Hoff - let me know if you need someone to pre-fish with!!

Melissa, I'll be calling or PM'ing you within the next month about that. I know still owe you that pre fishing outing. Still working on getting all my ducks in a row for the spring.

[Bryan Hoffner]

Another Question for Carl or whom ever. If wanting to pre register for this tourny, Where'd I get an entry form and who would I mail it to ahead of time?
Or do they do the pay as you show up? I'd like to get a little more info, where would I get it or who could I call?
i have a partner for this one now, so I'm definately in.

Sorry to be a pest.
