TRED BARTA! Real OR Fake?

[eppefour]

I like Treds articles. The TV show I find to be somewhat boring. I get tired of the fishing shows on TV.I would prefer how to do it shows more than the bass type shows where they catch a fish a minute. Treds articles make you think even if you do not agree with him.

[Squidnation]

I think he is real but somethings just make me laugh. Catching a yellowfin solo is no that great of a feat. running to the canyons with zero visibility is no big deal with today's technology. Hell - airline pilots travel with zero visibility every day. But then again it would not be good tv if he didn't play it up.

Jimmy I heard the samething about the donated fishing trip and those of the type of things that can make a hero look like a punk. Sure he can back up his brash ego as a world class angler with a multitude of world records. Now lets see him back his charity work by honoring what the winners paid for. I also heard that one reason why he decided not to take the winners fishing was because the fishing in New York was not up to snuff this yr. Bullshit! they had a fine year. Plus a world class fisherman would find the fish or give a great effort trying.

[TheChumStain]

I will would have to say he is in one of the 10% that can catch fish. Most of the captains that have been in the charter business know that what we do is entertain until the fish show up and if they don't decide to nibble you better make sure the fares have a good time or they will not return. Most people who pay to go on a boat want to have a good time and a boring crew along with no catch can be deadly but a funny crew and a nonproductive day can still leave a good mark.

With that said is wrestling real or fake, WWF VS Raw. Wouldn't we all like to have the ticket sales

[MakoMike]

He's the real deal. We fished next to him many times when he ran the old Makira out of shinny and fished the dip and the tails regularly. He does things his way, sometime I agree and sometimes I don't, so what?

[WAHOONBOX]

I SOMETIMES WONDER WHY I WORK SO HARD TO PULL A CHARITY EFFORT TOGETHER........THIS WHOLE CHARITY THING WAS STARTED AS MOST OF YOU KNOW ALREADY BY WAHOONBOX......ON TIDALFISH.COM IN 2004......
I TAKE THE RESONSIBILITY HERE!!!.....$11,5000 WAS RAISED IN 2004....OVER $30,000 WAS RAISED IN 2005.....I ASKED TRED TO DONATE A TRIP THIS YEAR AND HE RAPIDLY...AND GLADLY... SAID YES!!! I KNEW SCHEDULING WOULD BE AN ISSUE AND I WAS RIGHT......WHAT I DIDN'T EXPECT WAS PUBLIC NEGATIVE FEEDBACK ON THIS WHILE I CURRENTLY WORK SO HARD TO RESOLVE THIS



I WISH TRED COULD HAVE FULFILLED HIS OBLIGATION TO THE CHARITY WINNERS IN 2005......BUT HE COULDN'T....SCHEDULING A WEEKEND WITH A GUY WHO HAS HIS OWN TV SHOW ...SPONSORSHIP EVENTS ....AND OWNS A LARGE CORP TO BOOT DOES REQUIRE SOME FUTURE PLANNING....SORRY GUYS....BUT THAT IS THE WAY IT IS.......

I AM CURRENTLY WORKING VERY VERY VERY FRIGGING ASS HARD ON PUTTING THIS WEEKEND OF A LIFETIME FISHING TRIP WITH TRED BARTA TOGETHER FOR THOSE GENEROUS ANGLERS THAT SO GENEROUSLY DONATED A SHIT POT OF MONEY TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB

[JMS-ILM]

if it werent for hunting and fishing partners with personalities,attitudes, and abilities like tred barta(and my bud marty for that matter)......my time in the woods and water would not be near as fun and enjoyable.

if i didnt have a few wildman friends to share deer stands, duck boats, and cockpits with......id just quit it all and take up golf!

Hey Jesse,

This is Captain Tred Barta. “Is Tred Barta real or fake”? I do not need to address that; that is up to all of you, but one thing is for sure, Jesse, you are not a fake. It was my intention to send you an email quite a while ago as your name has stood in my mind. At 16 years old, setting the state record for tarpon is quite a tremendous accomplishment and I am very proud of you. What a great start and what a great future you have!

To set the record straight, I never said anybody who uses Yozuri lures is an idiot as your posting insinuates. One, I never said it and two, it is not true. Yozuri makes great lures and I own quite a few of them. What I said on public record is that today in not only outdoor TV, but in general, people in the public eye are getting so oversponsored that the tail is wagging the dog.

There is nothing wrong with people making a living representing a company in sponsorship, but when one’s beliefs are totally controlled by so many sponsors, often the truth does not come out.

From your posting, Jesse, it sounds that you may not think too much of me. That is okay, but I certainly think a lot of you. I am what I am and make no excuses for it. I seek no endorsement from any man. No matter how fake you think I may be, I spend at least 50% of my private time helping the underprivileged and those in need.

You may judge me as you wish. Jesse, no matter how skilled you are and no matter how you judge me, at 16 years of age, let me give you some good advice: I have learned to never judge a man until I have shook his hand and looked him in the eyes. I am not necessarily referring to myself. Some of the greatest men of our sport have defended unpopular beliefs, have been labeled as this or that and have proven over time to be great men.

With that in mind, Jesse, I offer you publicly an invitation to join us at the Barta Boys and Girls Club Billfish Tournament, July 20 – 22, 2006, as my guest. Since the tournament is in Beaufort, North Carolina, it would be my privilege to introduce you from the podium. I want to do so not to acknowledge your state record, but to show the kids from the Boys and Girls Club of Coastal Carolina that to succeed in your dreams all it takes is effort, commitment and hope. You would be a great example for these kids.

The door is open for you to come and it is sincere. I look forward to meeting you in person and, at that time, you can make another posting; “Is Tred Barta real or fake”?

I write this with the best of intentions.

Till next tide,
Captain Tred Barta

I think hes a great fisherman does what he want when he wants.....& dosnt care what people think....Hes got balls thats for sure......

What has me pissed Is some one donated a lot of money over $5000.00 for his charity & won a trip to fish with him & from what Ive been told be a few people who are involved with It they cant get a date from him to fish....& when they did get a date after bugging him to death he said okay hes wants to fish tell him to be at the dock on fri...This was said on a thur....Again this Is second hand info...But The guy who one the trip told me this....Take It for what Its worth...

***************************
I have read your posting and I am glad that you end it with that what you have heard is second-hand information.

Please be advised I am in contact with all participants to whom I donated hunting and fishing trips and of which money was received generously for the kids of the Barta Boys and Girls Club of Coastal North Carolina. The simple fact is due to a combination of fishing conditions, weather and an extremely busy shooting schedule we did not pull off the trips in 2005. These adventures have been scheduled for Spring 2006 and I can’t wait. Next week a father and his three sons are going goose hunting with me.

I do not really understand your posting. It is almost making an insinuation that I am not honorable. It is your right to post anything you wish on the internet or in a public square. Men and women of our country are dying in Iraq for the privilege of you doing so, but the facts are that you are wrong. When I say I do something, I do it. I am in contact with all parties involved.

I post this with no malice and, for the record, I believe that you are one of the sponsors of the tournament. If I am correct, I thank you and if I am not, you should be. See you in Beaufort.

Warmest personal regards,
Captain Tred Barta
