Big thanks to Rod King for putting on the tournaments again this year. There were some big fish brought to the scales this season even though the weather at times made it quite challenging. I also appreciate his sharing from God's Word with us at each tournament. One of the things that I like best of all is the friends that I have made over the years with a number of guys. I enjoy the fishing, but just about as much is talking fishing not only on Saturdays, but during the week as we all plan our strategies.
Rod said he may be able to have some Fall tournaments this year and I hope he can. For those of you new to this website and/or crappie fishing, there is no better way to improve your fishing than by participating in these tournaments. If you want to improve as a crappie fisherman, then you need to learn from the best and this is the place to do it. Just look at the weights that are being pulled in by not just one or two teams, but the large majority of teams week after week. When Charles and I started fishing together a few years ago, we were happy just to bring seven fish to the scale. Then we progressed to where we were averaging a pound a fish. Now our goal is to average 1.5 pounds a fish which we missed by .03 on Saturday. The reason we have improved year after year is the knowledge we have learned from fellow fishermen. Most of us share few details on this website because of the lurkers who just want a free handout about where and how to fish. Come to these tournaments and as you gain the trust of your fellow fishermen, you will learn a lot of the things needed improve your count and weight.
See you guys this Fall.
