Spring Crappie Camp 2009

[Brad Merry]

I just reserved site 100 for the 7th, 8th and 9th. I believe my parents are joining me. At least I hope so, they have the motorhome!

[LMBarnett]

That time should be before "bBusy Time" at work, will try to make it this year. Got to get the motor running right before then though.

I will be there. I have unfortunately missed the last two due to one, personal problems and two, last year due to floods. I will bring the boat and anyone is welcome to go along. I know Greeson fairly well and look forward to a good time once again. Here is the keys Wally, have at it. FATBOY

Can't say for sure yet but Debra and I are really thinking about trying to make this one. Especially since the date is a little later.

Hi Jerry,

Do you have an agenda for the 9th of May? I can only make be there that one day. Hopefully you have a session called, "How to Catch Crappie For Dummies."

We'll have seminars from about 3:00 to 5:00 and a Pot Luck Fish Fry about 6:00 but that's the only planned activities. There will be plenty of folks attending crappie camp that will be willing to share their knowledge and techniques.

We've decided to have Spring Crappie Camp on Lake Greeson in southwest central Arkansas a bit later this year, hoping to avoid the floods that seem to plague us in April. We think that two weekends before Memorial Day Weekend would be a good time, which will be May 8-10 this year. The white crappie should still be spawning, the black crappie should be getting into an aggressive post-spawn pattern and the lake level is more likely to be stable, which should make the fishing more productive. If you don't have a boat we'll find room for you in another boat and Darryl and I will be taking Crappie Campers out as much as we can.

We'll also compile a list of waypoints that you can upload to your GPS for our Crappie Condos

that should be productive so everyone will have plenty of places to fish.

Here are few pictures from some of my trips at that time of year.

Crappie Camp is free of charge and is open to anyone interested in crappie fishing and willing to share information on habitat, tackle, boat set-ups, electronics, techniques, etc with others.

Self Creek Lodge and Marina

is a great place to stay for those that want to rough it in style and Daisy State Park and Jim Wylie and Self Creek recreation areas all have great camping sites and facilities for those that want to camp.

We'll have a pot-luck fish fry on Saturday evening and probably some seminars on Saturday afternoon. We'll also have a free Big Fish contest with top-of-the-line BnM Crappie Poles and other prizes for first and second place for big crappie and we'll have a prize for the biggest fish of any species.

You'll find pictures from past Crappie Camps and more information here - Family Fishing Trips

.

We're looking forward to seeing old friends again and making new ones at Spring Crappie Camp 2009!

Jerry and Darryl.........keep doing what your doing it's wonderful!

Sounds like a real good time!!! When will the list of waypoints be available?
