[primo55]

AM GONNA RESERVE MY CAMP SPOT ASAP!!:Shocked:

[SteveH]

Sounds like a great weekend to fish the sand trap (SARL).
I can't wait to hear all the complaining after this one.
Combat fishing returns to the Vine.
Let the games begin...
Everybody go fish Sat. and Sun. and I'll come out Mon.
Sounds good to me.

[Sue]

Dang! As much as it would be a cool tournnament to enter, I ain't gonna go to the lake with 1500 other people.
MLK weekend was too crowded with around 800 people.

Sorry guys, gonna sit this one out.

[olfishergal]

sitting this one out. that's way too many people for that lake....MLK was a zoo, folks arguing etc etc......I don't wanna go there and do that........also finding out to avoid the 1st day of any tourney there........good luck those of you go.......Hopefully a T57 member will win big this time.........OFG

Rooster aka shot caller and Team57 "Don" of the Vine :LOL:

Ray you gettin bored these days buddy? :LOL: You don't even fish the Vine anymore and you sure as heck aren't going to fish with 1,499 other people :ROFL:J/K Man I hope you do come on out, be great to see you and some of the "BadBoyz" again. I'll let Jimmy answer all the technical questions since thats what he does best, but I have the tourney flyer "hot off the press" in hand and the $45 does include your entry into the lake....although within the flyer there is a small error because it states "Best of all, this includes your Irvine Lake gate fee for the day- a $20 value!" It is actually a $22 value as a result of the fee increase.

Based on what I'm reading every person will get a raffle ticket for their tourney entry. Someone is going home with a new Lowe 1467, Yamaha 4 stroke and trailer....regardless if you catch a fish or not!

There will be 4 divisions for big fish
Adult Male Junior Male
Adult Female
Junior Female
"Prizes and trophies will be awarded to the top five heaviest trout caught in each of the four divisions" I did not find anywhere that said what the "prizes" were or if cash payouts were involved.

Largest fish in the adult and junior divisions(two total) will get their fish mounted by Global Fish Mounts....that is an awesome prize!

There will also be tagged fish in the lake, immediately redeemable for prizes including Shimano Voltaeus rod and reel combos, Sport Chalet gift certificates, Costa Del Mar sunglasses, Irvine Lake boat rentals, Panther Martin Lures, Sea Eagle Inflatables, Rock River tackle boxes, Boot Barn gift certificates, Hobie Kayak ...I wonder what Sea Eagle donated??

Here is the cool part...any unclaimed prizes from the tagged fish will get rolled into the raffle. So you could get skunked and go home with some killer stuff Hitts!

I have two pieces of information that I am purposely withholding on this thread that you may find of value if you plan on attending the tournament...check out the TEAM57 MEMBER section and look at the freshwater section in the "Vine info for Team57" thread!

Hope that helps a little if you are heading out....good luck!

[candyman]

LoL I would like to be there just to see what happens, man it would be nice to win a boat with everything....

[shy_boxer]

Good luck to all the FNNers. Dude....I feel sorry for the feesh. Thats 3000 rods in the water. LOL

I am with Raylo on this one "the payout should be huge". I used to subscribe to W.O.N...but ever since I found FNN...no mas.

[King Halibut]

Damn that's a lot of folks..................

Imagine how many bushes will be "watered"!!!!!! (got porta potty)

Imagine the plethora of radios and the wide range of music you will be treated to!

Where the hell are they gonna put 1500 people?

Normal weekends are crowded enough, best of luck to all Team 57 members who choose to brave the insanity!

Tight Lines,
KH

[kewlwhip]

ahhhh saweeet! -bonzer...

[Mondo21]

Dang! As much as it would be a cool tournnament to enter, I ain't gonna go to the lake with 1500 other people.
MLK weekend was too crowded with around 800 people.

Sorry guys, gonna sit this one out.

Wise choice Sue:Wink:
I will be out there this Sunday. I haven't decided weather to shore fish or hitch a ride with"Pargo" (Emilio) He offered to let me aboard his boat. May take him up on that. Hope to see you out there. Cindy:Big Smile:

[Mondo21]

Your thinking what im thinking Cindy, That alone along with the private boat launches is what im going for. Who needs a rod :ROFL:

A whole lot of cussin' and swearing... But the prizes sounds sweet. Cindy:Big Grin:

[MAVERICK27]

The ends justify the means! I'll launch the boat and park and chill like usual. I will put my ipod on and tune everyone out...for a chance at those prizes? I'll brave it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[beware]

Downrigger Trolling to get below the traffic...Show me the money.

[Mondo21]

I think on a boat will be much safer than on shore. What do you Guys think? Cindy:Big Grin:

[MAVERICK27]

Boat or trampled to death hahaha

[Joshua]

No thanks. 1500 with limited shoreline access, that oughta be intersesting. Sharpen your elbows. I have been to Raiders game that will have fewer arguements.
If you are going to do this, I highly recommend that you reserve a camp site. That will be you in front of all the people in line. It is $15 to camp. Small price to avoid the lines
Also, I dont support anything WON does. I wont let our new puppy pee on that rag paper.:Soap Box:
The Southern Section of the Sierras will be open then. Rather run up to Lone Pine for some creek action

[Troutman65]

As I understand it you have to be registered for this event in order to get into the lake. Its a Western Outdoor News event that Irvine lake is hosting. If your not registered you will not be allowed to enter the lake.

[BIGRED KILLA]

Thats a lot of Peeps.

[Zombie Bass ATTACK]

Its going to be like fishing Newport beach pier in the summer SHOULDER TO SHOULDER!!! hahaha screw that ish!!! id rather fish my toilet for giant browns :Big Grin:

[Mondo21]

I recieved a newpaper (Won)from the Vine yesterday and if I read right they will also be raffling off a Pontoon that's worth $4,300.00!!! I left the newspaper in my car. They will have tagged fish and will give away all prizes even if the tagged fish aren't caught. How cool is that! Make me want to go now. Cindy:Big Grin:
