Can we start fishing as soon as you say it's go time? No more sitting, waiting, wishing, for 30 minutes.

The big draw last year was the guarantee for first place. I like to see that back

Is that why you only showed up a couple of times Mike???

No, the reason is don't have a solid partner ever week. Last year I was at both nights most of the time till I had partner problems. I don't fish by my self

Just messing with you Mike, got nothing but love for you brother!

Thanks for the input and comments Tom. As with everything I do in regards to tournaments, it is based on what you (the anglers) desire.

I'm with you on that Mike, these 11:30pm's on Wednesday nights are wearing me out, I am useless the next day at the office.

I didn't fish many and Mike I'm sorry for that!  But the 30/10/10 would be good!  Pay out would still be good!  The times dont bother me but I think thats still b/c I'm a young guy and ya'll old farts cant take it!  Championship should be a sat nighter for like 6 hrs like its been done in the past but a 100 dollar full entry!  80/10/10!

I know this is not about the week night but what about a short falls trail, like September though nov

+10!!!!!

Lower Fee's would increase turn out ............

630-930 would be awesome and would probably get a few more boats out, that have a little farther drive. As it stands right now, with weigh in at 1030, by the time you put the boat and the trailer and have to drive back to Ft Worth your getting home after 11 and in bed at midnight if your lucky.

Things have changed over the last few years as far as faces and etiquette.

It used to be about compition and the fellowship.

The lake fishes too small now and there is no courtesey practiced on a regular basis.

If a gentleman gets on a roll you better guarantee there will be a few specific individuals that have no problem fishing there all week or starting there the next week.

If someone was to win next week and say they did it up in Marshall Creek there would be boats there joining him the next week and weeks to come.

There are very few secrets left on the vine and the ones that are are cherished and don't want to be served up.

Lets face it for its size the lake is one of the most heavily fished in the metroplex if not the state.

I have participated in the night circuits since 98 and have chosen not to participate much in the last few years for the simple fact of its not worth the headache. 

It sad, but now I would rather mow the yard than come battle the crowd.

I really appreciate what Laddner, Potts, Houlebek, Sanderson, Maddux, and now Gordon have done and are still trying to do, but I am not sure it can be salvaged.

I hope that I am proved wrong because when they were going well and ran right there was not much that could beat a good Wednesday night on the Vine.

What makes the Vine so great is its biggest drawback.  The fishing is close and generally pretty predictable.

My two cents and probably not worth that.

I am considering lowering the entry fee's for the remaining events, and possibly extending the series through September.
