There's been a lot of talk about what makes up a good trail and we believe that we have it in the 2011 Lone Star Series.  More information and an official press release will follow.  We hope that you'll take a look and consider fishing with us next year.

I like it! I've been trying to decide what trail I'd like to fish next year, and I think I've found it. Good work, TTZ.

 

[Brian Booker]

Thanks Strictly!

We've heard for years from folks wanting a similar schedule...the Highland run. This trail is gonna be a lot of fun, and we expect to see some great weights brought to the scales, as the schedule was strategic in terms of historical production on these lakes.

Give us a chance this year, we have some really cool things in store!

 

[Lone Star Staff]

We are excited to be partnering with TTZ. Please come join us next year.

 

[Shimano-man]

That should be a fun circuit to fish. Close to home for those who like it. TTZ folks always do things right...

 

[CL]

I'm in and really looking forward to it. Please tell me you'll also be keeping the Wed nighters.

 

[Brian Booker]

I'm in and really looking forward to it.   Please tell me you'll also be keeping the Wed nighters.  

Glad to hear it Cary! No worries, the Wednesday nighters aren't going anywhere.

After seeing what type of tournament TTZ puts on at the GFFK tourny, I'm stoked for this series. I just put all 4 dates on my calendar!

I think I might have to request one of them TTZ shirts for my 2 year old. At the weigh in this past weekend, Robby's kid couldn't have looked any cuter in his TTZ t-shirt. I asked him, if he was going to be a fisherman when he grew up. Any guesses on the answer?

 

[Brian Booker]

Congrats to you guys Cary and Brandon, heck of a bag!!

 

[Robby Crabb]

We can def. help you out on the T for the kiddo Cary. Great showing w/ the finish guys!!!

My kids dont have a choice: Fish, Hunt, or cut bait : JK

 

[Andy Nuyen]

We're getting a lot of good feedback after this weekend from anglers planning to fish this trail!

We promise you guys this will be a fun trail with one of the best paybacks around. If you guys show up in numbers our sponsors are happy; if our sponsors are happy we get more stuff for you guys and the paybacks will continue to grow.

 

[BC]

Cary, and I are in. Can't wait. It's about time there was a Highland Lakes trail.

 

[Andy Nuyen]

We already have two teams fully registered for the entire 2011 season!

Our rules indicate your launch order/boat # will be designated by the order in which your payment is received.  We do not access a late fee and you may also sign up at the ramp the morning of an event, but there is a small incentive to getting your entry fee in early!

Online registration for all 2011 events will be up shortly; if you are interested in registering asap for any of the 2011 tournaments please contact me directly at [email protected].

The site is being updated and should go live 11/15 but here is a link to the preliminary rules for you guys to reveiw (I would have posted them here instead of redirecting but it appears ABF has a character max per post):

[CL]

Hmmmmm, I wonder who team #2 is?

 

[marine0311]

I'm ready to fish this one guys.. I think that TTZ guys do a great job had fun at the GFFK and if this trail is anything like this one was then it should be a blast great job guys.

 

[Andy Nuyen]

There's a ton of things we need to prepare for this trail, but one item on the top of our list is trying to secure an official drink sponsor for the Lone Star Series.

Can you say vodka, tequila or both? If we can land one it should make things a little more fun.

We have also been frequently asked if there are mandatory or points weighted meetings.  We will not have meetings that award or penalize points, but do plan to have some angler appreciation nights for the trail...show up if you want to hang out and have a good time the night before a tournament or don't is pretty much the theme of these gatherings.

More full season entries are starting to trickle in...crazy!

I want to fish as a back-seater if anyone needs a partner. Shoot me an e-mail to [email protected].

 

[Lone Star Staff]

We adjusted the date for Lake Austin event to June 4th. Please make the note to your calendars.

Thank you

 

[BlueStreak]

Andy,

I think June 4th is high school graduation for a lot of austin schools. That may cause a problem for some people.
