Thread: Lake Greeson Fall Crappie Camp Set For October 9 - 12

So when did Crappie Camp become a financially motivated event? I thought it was supposed to be about meeting other people that love the sport, not just a promotion strategy to fill rooms at someone's new hotel?

We will have both Men's and Women's Divisions and the entry fee will be 10 bux/person. All entry fees will be paid out in prizes with 60% for First Place and 40% for Second Place in each division. We will also have BnM poles and other prizes for the winners.

Registration will be from 6:00am to 7:00am at the Conference Center at The Daisy Motel. Registration closes at 7:00am - NO LATE REGISTRATIONS! Please pay with cash and have exact change. We'll have free ice for ice-chests/live-wells and coffee and donuts during registration for all Big Fish Contest registrants.

Only Black Crappie, White Crappie and Hybrid Crappie are eligible to weigh in and the crappie must be caught out of Lake Greeson by the registered contestant between 7:00am and 2:00pm on the day of the contest using legal methods. Crappie entered must be in live or very recently deceased condition when brought to the weigh-in.

Weigh-in will be at The Daisy Motel Conference Center at 2:00 on Saturday afternoon.

How many Crappie Camps have you organized, Cmj? The Crappie Camps that I've organized on Lake Greeson and the few Crappie Tournaments that I've attended, have always been about promoting crappie fishing and the businesses, organizations and government agencies that support and/or benefit from crappie fishing. I believe that even Crappie.com owner, Ed Moes, felt like Crappie.com might benefit when he's attended our Crappie Camps and I doubt that any of the companies like BnM Pole Company, Arkie Jig Company, TTI Blakemore and the like would donate their products to such events if they didn't believe their companies would benefit financially.

Fall Crappie Camp On Lake Greeson welcomes anyone that is interested in crappie fishing, whether or not they reserve a room at The Daisy Motel. And, by the way, the Daisy Motel has been around since the Little Missouri River was dammed up to form Lake Greeson and I've been at the motel for about a year and a half.

Calm down everyone. Jerry is a stand up guy and holds a great crappie camp. He's held these events before even when he has not owned a motel, so there's certainly no ill intention here on anyones part. I just wish I could attend, but I already had plans to be at MS camp that weekend.

I'm sorry, that's KY camp that weekend (oct 11) . MS camp (oct 18) is the weekend after KY camp. I had previously committed to those camps (got reservations done up and all).

Well said mr jerry! Thanks for your support

Jerry, let me know how things are going with camp. I can't make it this time, but I can get Southern Pro Tackle to donate some door prizes for you guys.

That will make life a whole lot simpler. Looking forward to this. DP
