Lake Greeson Fall Crappie Camp Set For October 9 - 12

[Jerry Blake]

Lake Greeson Fall Crappie Camp is set for Thursday, October 9th through Sunday, October 12th. We're still in the planning stages and we're open to suggestions.

We'll have a Big Fish Contest on Saturday with a nominal entry fee. All proceeds will be paid out to the winner(s). And of course we'll have a Pot-luck Fish Fry Saturday evening.

Space will be made available for jig-makers or crappie fishing tackle manufacturers that want to demonstrate their products and offer them for sale. Please let us know you're coming and bring your own tables.

I plan to go "scouting" every morning that week and will have space available in my boat for motel guests that want to tag along. Please reserve your spot on the boat with Wendy when making your room reservation.

We currently have 8 rooms available at the motel, which we will hold through October 1st for Crappie Campers that want to stay at least three nights. Our web address is Home Page and our reservation line is 870-828-9429. We have room to park your boat right in front of your room and outlets are available to plug in your battery charger.

Self Creek Lodge and Marina is extending a 20% discount off their usual off-season rates on their awesome cabins for Crappie Campers. Their phone number is 870-398-5000 and their web address is Self Creek Lodge and Marina | on beautiful Lake Greeson. Be sure to mention that you are coming for Crappie Camp and request the discount. They also have guest boat slips that are available with or without a cabin rental and they will have plenty of rosy red minnows and shiners.

The entrance to Daisy State Park is a few hundred yards east of the motel, Jim Wylie Campground is about a half-mile west of the motel and Self Creek Campground is just over a mile west of the motel. Daisy State Park has two boat ramps and a C.O.E. boat ramp is less than a mile west of the motel.

If you have any suggestions or questions, please post them here rather than sending me a PM.
