Good article Jason!

I guess you have to have an online subscription to view it. I think it was in the paper yesterday.

I read it. I'll get hammered for this....... I don't do tournaments. Lots of reasons. Not adamant, just don't like participating. Fishing is more than that to me. BUT, after spending a few years on here.........and then reading what this guy said in the paper (and I'm sure he's a great guy, I just don't know him), I had to chuckle. You HAVE to tell where you caught 'em, exactly, how, how deep, what color, what time of day, etc. Seriously? I mean, I'm asking a serious question. Do the guys that I read about on this board DO that when they win these tournaments????

Clearly, there are Pros and then there is Me. I get that. (Heck, I bet a guy the other day that CP could catch 20 crappie on Lake Conway "on demand", any day, any time, and the guy thought I was crazy. I was willing to go big bucks, and that scared him off. But it's clear I think, that I'm right on that) So, I'd almost like to go to a weigh in just to hear the winner(s) tell me every detail of how they did it!!!

Yes Sir we do ask the top 3 teams many questions about how they fished,which area, what they used, and how they figure out what others did not! You should join us for the weigh in on Lake Conway March 7! There 's a lot of guys from Crappie.com that fish with us and lot of guys that just come to the weigh Ins. It is a much different pace then a Bass tournament! Thanks for asking

this is exactly what we do, you can learn something most of the time even if its just a small piece of the puzzle,thats one of the great things about fishing these tourneys you learn to find fish on new bodies of water under all types of weather conditions and times of the year, i have learned allot and it will teach you to think outside the box!!!!

Well, outstanding! It just seems.......um........."different" than what I see here. Not that here is bad, or anything of the sort. Just..........that's really different.

I may be there! Where is weigh in?

And thanks for the nice replies.

[Crappie Greg]

weight in will be at highway landing across from Baites Field and Stream

Yes sir! The weigh in will be at Hi-way landing at 430pm March 7th, it's the landing before you get to Hwy 89 bridge. Hope you can make the weigh in!

Have yall ever given any thought to maybe having a separate division for amateurs or weekend anglers or whatever you want to call em?

Guys that maybe feel like they'd be throwing their money away fishing against "pros".

not a single member that fish with this club makes a living fishin tourneys not sure what your definition of "pro" is but we dont have any , some have been fishing tournements for several years but all are just weekend anglers looking to improve there abilities and techniques to catch fish, good fun for anybody willing to put in the time make new friends and learn from others
