2009 1st Annul Saltycajun meet Tournament
 

Today we had our tournament and had a good turn out. The fishing conditions took a 180 from yesterday as we woke up to 15-20mph winds. Guys who caught 100 fish yesterday only found slim pickings in those same spots! Not a lot of fish caught but some nice stringers were pulled together,,,,,'Thanks for all that came and Congrads to the winners of todays event!!!

Croaker soakers!!!! lol W...I told you who'd take first today!

how many boats fished?

Not today.....Every spot we caught fish yesterday turned to mud today....Did not catch the 1st trout until 10:30am.....We lapped the lake twice and only boated one trout 4.20lbs.....This had to place in my top 10 worst trips!!!! Could not buy a trout!!!! :cry:

Thanks alot W I met some really good guys, and me and those same guys Smoked ya. Bad fishing conditions but good guys to talk smack to. Had a blast

Under the tough conditions.........how were the fish caught....soft plastic?

Looks like the temperatures will cool off some in a couple of days and maybe get some rain.

Mr. G.... Artifical only!!! I know some were caught on top early

Mr. Gerald the guys I was with used Sand eels, and Corkeys we changed colors so much we all got confused,
but most important with all the winds and boat traffic no one got hurt.

Thanks again, Jeremy and SaltyCajun

I've been waiting for this heat wave to cool down a little to hit the lake. Looks like Mon or Tue for me.

Well, not only did we not put any trout in my boat, but on the way home I had kidney stone and could barely make it to the house. Just came home from the Deridder emergency room and am hopped up on some serious pain medications. They sent me home because there is no Urologist on duty and there is nothing more then can do for me except give me strainer to catch the stone when I pass it. Other than my Fourth of July in Iraq, this was probably the worst. Did enjoy fishing with my two new buddies though and hope to get back out there soon.

Congrats to the winners, I am impressed because we could not buy a bite!

Sorry to here about that I passed one about 6 years ago and wouldn't wish that on W lol, When your up and around give me a Pm, so we can take the kids out.

Wow Dan that's intense. You thought it was something you ate.

As for fishing we gave it up after the only boated fish wad a drum.
Had a kid next to us land a 6 pound 13 ounce trout in the channel he was only about 12.

I had fun so that's all that matters. Where was Ronnie o this morning does he post oN here?

Man...Hate to hear that...dont feel bad about the fishing we had a bad day also...I almost gave up @ 9:30am...between the lack of sleep,hangover,wind,muddywater,heat and NO Fish bitting....

Fool's "7 pounder" didn't place? :rolleyes:

He didnt pay to enter the Gaftop division :rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks Austin, Rob, and W. These pain pills are doing me right so far. I wouldn't wish a kidney stone on Obama......well,then again, maybe just one! I've got to get on some decent fish at least once this summer, so I am not giving up. Rob, I doubt I can fish with the kids for at least at least three weeks. I will be in San Antonio for a week of court week after next and then I'm taking the family to Lake Guntersville in Alabama to meet up with my brothers and dad and their families for a week of fun on the lake. Hell, maybe I can catch a bass....damn sure can't catch no trout!

I didnt fish the tournament but....IT WAS A BAD DAY!! I caught 3 itty bitty teeny weeny trout (top water). decided to go after reds , caught my 5 + 1 flonder at the rocks in the ship channel then hauled in.

fished topwater and for reds used different colors of cocahoes. Ive been having better luck by fishing the evenings when the suns going down.

Yep, those late evening trips can be a blast. But you usually have to fight the mosquitoes when it gets dark. It is hard to reel in when you have to swat mosquitoes every few seconds.

famous last words......:rotfl:








all joking aside i hope you come thru it ok!!!!

2nd Place: Chris C, Rob B, Josh L. 10.71lbs


Not bad, for a bunch of "rookies"...as were called by W...***** x 1000000!!!!!

me too:*****::*****::*****:

yall did a good job!!!!!

thanks to all involved!!!!!! enjoyed the hell out of everything but the weather. got to meet some new people and had a blast fishing with a few of them. the fishing was tough to say the least but i guess leaving with more money than i showed up with helped out. hope to be able to meet up with all of you and do this again real soon. tough fishin gets easier when you do it with good people.:cheers:

i must have missed the "rookie" comment

Well, I passed the stone - little bastard looked like a sand spur, no wonder it hurt so bad. Hopefully there was only one.

you and chris was the only gaft top catchers. You caught a 7 lb gaft top.


i lost a 6 lb trout ON SALTY"S BOMBER :)

Drink alot alot of water, I hurt my back a few years back and had to have back surgery and that doesn't compare to the Stone, so my Dr. told me to drink alot of water before bed and when I get up, ask my fishing partners every stop I was wizzing.

Rookies wopped that A$$, had fun again,

even thoiugh the weather sucked , i wish i could have been there! yall did a good job finding fish in thise conditions!! congrats to all who participated!! i hope to b back over soon!

Congrats, to Gregg --

Fool, you pullin' my leg or somethin'? Big fish won't hit them Bombers...don't you know that? :spineyes:

like i said...bombers have the potential to catch big fish :D

Yes, and what did I tell you about "potential"? :eek: I just wanna know the truth. You lied to Bruce so why wouldn't I think you're lyin' to me? You have the "potential". :smokin:

i was kidding with bruce. ya see, im a kid so i have a potential to "kid" with people :smokin:


i aint lieing with you. W and Chris was chunkin them eels, i said im throwin the bomber for the big girls. I cast twitch it, feel a bump-bump next thing i know my drag was runnin. Stupid me set the hook while she ran and lost her.

You should'a set the hook in between "bump-bump" and "my drag was runnin". Works every time. :)

yup.:cry:
