Sure, can we make a yoyo calcutta too? :mrgreen: You got some ideas as to species, dates etc? Seems like every tourney I'm outta town. Would be cool to get serious about fishing rather than just messing around.

There used to be some fun ones on here that were like a month long, with multiple species, you had to have a secret item in the picture to make them count. I don't fish from shore as much any more but I'd still probably throw down...a weekend in the Keys can be all you need to win one.

Thats a good idea but I think if you want Snook to be the species then it should be an anglers top 3 fish in length.Add total points=winner.Thats how it was done at the Cuda Club Snook Tourneys down in Homestead years ago.

I am sure you would win the Grouper Division, but land based?...dont think so LOL!

Good luck guys

I think a Forum tournament is a great idea. Unfortunately limiting it to one species will reduce the number of competitors. Maybe including four species would make it more interesting. Snook, smackeral, pompano, etc. points each day for size. At the end of the tournament the angler with the most points gets the money. It's worth a hundred bucks to me just to have a chance to kick GK's ass. I don't think he's all that much :auto:

Not that I can join but I would say something like this. Put a min. size limit on the fish that can be entered say
snook 27 inches and up with slot fish being worth 3 points and overs being 1 point.
tarpon 1 point each and if they are over 70 inches worth 2 points
kingfish/mackeral 24 inches 1 point and over 48 inches 3 points
jacks over 36 inches 1 point over 50 inches 2 points
snapper must be 20 inches to register and 1 point each
barracuda must be 36 inches to count 1 point each.
or sub. permirt or add them but with a 36 inch min. to enter

You can only score off 3 fish in each category. Biggest overall fish gets an additional 3 points. This would require more skill as once youfill one fissh you have to try for something else. Put the entry sizes high so you don't get tiny fish entered. Addidtional 2 point awared for each fish category that is closed out with 3 fish entered. Just how I would run it.

It's your tournament so you can pick whatever species you want but if you totally eliminate the most common species around like macs and snappers then you will drastically decrease the participation. I mean who would go into a cobia only tourney if they have never even caught a cobia before?

BTW I think it would be great for the top ten guys here to have an exclusive head to head balls to the wall contest for King of the Hill. Hell, I would even pay to see that tournament. Then you could pick the really difficult species to target and find out who really is the best. But if you want a ton of guys playing then it has to balanced so that anyone could conceivably win. That's why the lottery is so popular. Even though mathematically you have zero chance to win you still have a shot. That's why so many people play.

snook and tarpon bud

but i dont think this should just be closed off to only shorebound anglers

i mean just look at the tourney lunker dog had a couple of years ago it was won by two shorebound anglers and there were all kinds of boat guys in it

im confident enough in my own skill to not fear anyone with a boat when it comes to inshore fishing

asmuch as yall talk about fishing you should be to

shore bound.... but hey to each his own... and if shore bound fishermen are out fishing
boat fishermen down there.... well Damn...oh wait a moment you
did say a shore bound guy won a couple of yrs... :mrgreen:

Oh and I'm not skilled, I'm just lucky... but I'm smart enough not to pay
good money to go against a local that has knowledge and a boat..
Good luck with that.. eatpop

no no i did say two shorebound anglers won 1st an second place

sorry bud i consider myself a bit skilled idk bout you but im pretty damn sure i can go out on foot almost any night and catch a snook or a tarpon i guess fishing is just a bit better in the south

I'm interested, I think there should be a limit on points per tarpon, and a bonus for giant Snook (over 40").

I would put my $$ on onemullet or the gruntking fwiw.
