These Texas divers like to go deep and miss all their 30 lb carp. . . Travis is a good lake for spearing rough fish, We Okies used to take all their trophies north of the River.
On a good Spring weekend a Southwest Council contest used to have 200 divers. . . Ah the good old days.
Hey with all due respect Bubba your in Our Forum so watch your manners. I don't talk trash in your Forum
I can only venture a guess at how churned up the bottom of Tenkiller would be after an event where even just 5 okie's were in the water at the same time.
You can buy fish like Carp at the bait stores in Texas you know so we tend to like to go deeper when we dive.
The river channel at Tenkiller is pretty cool and Freaky Cavern is a nice place to hang out and think for awhile. Still.... I can't blame some folks for being a little freeked to go there. I'm sure that you were not making a blanket statement or painting with a wide brush about all Texans.
I'd still dive with Ya'll even though I'd know up front I'd have to save myself if anything went wrong. 'comes with the territory.
Timeliner. . . I hoped you would be here. I read and respect what you've helped us teach new divers in the Midwest Muck Divers forum. . . My joke about trophies goes back many years when the Southwest Council of clubs could bring a couple of hundred divers to a contest. My Lawton dive club never missed a contest, and always pulled a lot of Texans to our contests in Oklahoma. It was always a fun time. For several years, the Southwest Councils' representative to the national championships was my old partner from Lawton, placing second behind a 3 time national champion.
My attempt at humor was aimed at the old Southwest Council divers. There were always taunts and humor between all of the clubs, including the one club from Lawton. The direction of trophy flow between Okies and Texans and from Dallas to Ft Worth or any other clubs made the tournaments more exciting. Didn't want to offend, just miss the fun from a lot of old Texas divers.
Ok.... everybody sing Kum-By-Ya
