Calamus trny

[Maze]

Who's going to the Calamus tournament first weekend of June. The payout sucks but its still fun.

I'm planning on it but, it depends on the weather. I'm not going if there's 3' white cap's again.

[Sorny]

We will be there

[Jon-Barta]

I am planning on it. Last year was my first time. Had fun, weather was pretty crummy. Hoping for better this year. I am not going to make the mistake of buying myself for the calcutta this year

We will probably go again. Last year was our first year and we took 2nd Place in the spring and 2nd Place in the fall. It was a great time. Can't wait for bowfishing season to start.
Anyone of you guys ever just fish for carp at Calamus? I was amazed at the poundage the hook and line guys brought in! Unreal!

There was a ton of fish caught by rod and reel.....looked liked a blast.

I will be there as long as the weather is ok. If the weather is bad I'll go elsewhere. I would love to see a bigger payout at this but its run very good and is a ton of fun.

The weather wasnt good at all last June. Windy, with high dirty water.
When it was held in august the weather was really nice....all you had to deal with was the boat traffic.

[Sorny]

I know not much got shot in June, we only shot 50 pounds, but how much was taken during the august shoot?

I'm not sure how much was shot in August. It was so hot and being on the water all day didnt make it any better. I know we were beat so we weighed in and left. I wish I would have got pics with my wife it was her first time shooting fish.

I am reviving this post to get a little chatter going. It is getting close to Calamus time again and wanted to see some discussion.

Sorny asked about the August shoot last year. We took second with 131 pounds and got whipped pretty darn good. Leaders were 193 i think. 3rd was something in the neighborhood of 80 pounds if I remember right. We had more fish than the leaders, but our fish averaged 1.5 pounds and thiers averaged 6 pounds. We can say we shot more and harder to hit fish, but by weight, no contest.

Fursniper and I are undecided on the Calamus tourney this year. With the Huntingne.com tourney on the next weekend, we might just wait another week.

Well right now it's looking like good weather hopefully the forecast stays and it will be a good shoot. Got the boat all fixed after the water pump went out the, bilge went out, the front eye broke. blew 2 tires on the way home from MO and replaced the seat and both rear lights. All I need is a paint job and it'll be a new boat...lol
