Just a reminder that our 4th tournament of the year will be at CJ Brown in Springfield Ohio on 5/18/13. This is the circuit's first trip to CJ and it is primarily a white crappie lake. CJ has made a bit of a comeback the last few years as folks who fish it regularly have participated in a number of cover-planting initiatives to provide more options for baitfish and young game fish. The results have been good, but the lake is very different from others that we fish, so we'll see who is the most adaptable!

The seminar will be held on Friday night at 6:00PM at Super 8 Springfield, 2 West Leffel Lane, Springfield, OH 45506, just off Interstate 70 at Exit 54, about 20 minutes East of Dayton, 937.324.5501. This is also the host hotel.Be sure to ask for the BCC rate of $43 a night. Other great sponsors of the tournament:
