    Re: Cox's park tourney??

    Usually we wait until after Thunder Over Louisville...sunset right now is at about 8:15, we usually wait until it's at least 8:30 which will be around April 26th and on.
    We try to get in at least 3 hours of fishing (6 to 9), right now it's a little tough to do that unless you takeoff at 5 or 5:30 which is difficult for most to get off work in time, grab the boat, and get to Cox.

    If you wanted to, you could tentativley plan on the first one being April 25th, and go from 6 to 9 - Civil Twilight for the 25th ends at 8:57 which is what I usually go by for the ending time of the tournament.

    Tentative Schedule:
    April 25th
    May 9th
    May 23rd
    June 6th
    June 20th
    June 27th
    July 11th
    July 25th
    August 8th
    August 22nd

    Wednesday - April 25th - COX PARK - $20 winner take all
    6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

    Cox Park - meet in parking lot around 5:30 - 5:45, takeoff at 6:00

    $20 per boat, winner take all
    5 fish limit per boat - 12" on all bass (largemouth, smallmouth & spotted bass only...no white bass!)
    1 lb. deduction for each dead fish
    ties determined by largest bass

    Previous winner shall hold onto the entry fees during the event - holding the money is a proven curse!

    Total disqualification for any short fish brought in to be weighed - so make sure it measures at least 12"!

    Stay out of Captain's Quarters marina - cast into the mouth of it all you want, but don't let your boat go past the "no fishing" sign...it's off limits. The rest of the river is fair game.

    This is a casual event with an emphasis on fun. It's open to anyone, so tell your friends. It's very informal. It's not sanctioned, no memberships, or anything like that. It's officially non-official.

    If you plan on fishing it, please post below so we know to look for you.

    If you wish to launch at Duffy's, that's okay too, just come on over to Cox before 6:00 to put your money in the pot.

    Please operate your boat in a safe manner, wear your lifejacket and kill switch when the motor is running, watch out for drift/debris, be safe, and have fun!

    Also don't violate the rules...anyone witnesssing a violation will need to bring it up at the weigh-in. It will be discussed openly amongst others in the event and any needed action will be voted on by all participants...and knowing this crowd, they'll vote you out for wearing the wrong t-shirt....I know one guy that's hanging on by a thread for showing up in a West Virginia t-shirt...ha ha ha!

    Also don't forget that creeks and bays on the Indiana side, like 14 mile creek and the party cove, are considered Indiana waters for which you need an Indiana fishing license.

    Thanks for the info.
    My brother and I are going to try and fish it this year.
    Hope to see you there.

    PS. If at all possible let me know of any schedule changes, etc. That way we are not showing up to an empty ramp.
    Thanks again, Reeldad3
