LAKE GREGORY $50,000.00 DERBY

Well here is my video report of lake Gregory $500,000.00 derby. I got there early in the morning about 5:30am and the air was chill. So I pre-paid for our tickets online so that my wife and I where in the water by 7:00am start of the derby, WRONG! the people that where paying there and then were getting it done way faster than everyone that had paid online. By the time my wife and I got out wristbands and our float tubes inspected and where in the water it was 8:20am They need to be more organized. I ran into dosomedirt and his friend Augie and a lot guys out there that I seen at other lakes as well. As for the derby all I have to say is never again will I enter their derby's, I will go out there and float tube it but no more derby's after seeing that they have a holding net for the fish I think that is a bull! There where guys catching old different color tagged fish hummmm  I find that weird, anyways the day was nice I cant say the fishing was great cuss I caught only 1 catfish on a mice tail and sooo many short bites, as for my wife..... yea she out fished me she had a blast she hooked up 3rainbows 2crappies 1brown and she had 2 monster fights and lost them and sooo+ooo many short bites as well.

Sucks to hear u try to pay online so it goes quicker and it doesnt! WTG to ur wife....sounds like she mashed.....and way to stick it out and catch that catfish!!

cool little video you made there. That lake can be tuff to fish at times. I have fished a few times. On the back of the lake there is a little cove that holds crappie. I have caught more crappie at that lake than trout lol.

Great video thanks for posting.
Looks like you wife was having a good time.

Thanks Fishingdachronarch201E, well I guess that catfish saved me from getting skunked and as for my wife, it was cool to watch her in action. Those trout are her first on the float tube and she is blown out by it. Looks like my trout season just got more interesting lol!

Thanks miller, and as for the lake being tuff, yes it was and not that many people where hooking up. Once I was out of the water people were asking me and my wife where did we catch them fish at? cuss no one on the shore was catching fish so I was told by many.

Hey FADB,
Great video as always!
Glad you two had a fun and landed a few trout. The catfish and crappie where a bonus for sure.
Looks like a nice lake to tube, we'll have to hit it up during trout season when the weather cools a bit.
What was the biggest trout you seen that day, just wondering if they stock beast?
The best part is that your wife landed her 1st brown trout, tell her congrats!
We'll fish again soon brotha!
Hey PM me if you know of a deal on a GoPro man I have to get one!!

Thanks Pacifico, well the biggest trout caught was a 4lb on a float tube. hey I'm on my way to work right now but yes I know of someone selling a gopro 3 silver edition and its new. I will ask him if he still has it and Ill pm you with the details.

Sucks about the holding pens , I was wondering if they had those darn things . I know SARL had them and would only release a few fish here and few there .. Looks Like you all had a blast on the water and I wish they would have put up a video before the tourney of the stocking of this so called 50,000 trout

Anyhow we should all get out there this trout season at some lake (Irvine , SARL) and give the trout Hell

yea tell me about it WES but what can you do right? and I agree about the video, they should do what big bear does, they tag the biggest prize tag fish and drop it in the lake and they put it on video for all to see on youtube that way there is no doubt about that prize money. Sounds good about getting together to give the trout some hell, I would say Irvine or we can all vote on it.

cool report bro. sounds like they need to think about organizing a little better. I fished that couple years ago.
