We need a Crappie.com member crappie tournament.

**Slab** · 02-08-2011, 03:12 PM

Pbug called me an we spoke about doing an online tournament. Sounds like a plan. I will create a new board just for this topic, and I'll even move or copy this thread there.

The Fruit Jar type gathers is also a great idea, and many of them have occurred in many states over the years. I have attended some, and brought some giveaways and such. Had great times. Here's a link to one I just attended in KY, the one Whiskers set up.
KY Get Together at Big Bear | Articles 2010

I have never arranged one myself, but I plan on attending more this next Spring, and I can see how they go. Anyone anywhere is welcome to arrange a gathering and announce it on the site. That's what Crappie.com is supposed to be about, gathering (online or in person), sharing information, and having fun.

My intention so far is to attend the Gathering at Lake Blackshear in GA on the 26th of March.
And to attend the Fruit Jar at Grenada on the 23rd of April.
I'll likely swing by the Pickwick event on April 2nd as well.

Lets have a great 2011.

I'm all for more tournaments. But if anyone is interested in our little fruit jars, we moved the first tournament on Ross Barnett to 2/19/11 due to poor weather. Everybody is welcome and there's no membership dues or minimum tournaments. You're welcome to fish all of 'em or just one and kids/wives are welcome and encouraged. Entry is $40 + an option al $10 big fish pot and we pay 1 place for every 5 boats. 100% payback, but we hold $5 from each entry back to fund the championship pot, which is winner take all. Basically, it's an excuse to get together and if ya get lucky, you might get some gas money back. But we do have some awful good sticks that fish with us.......um....not me, but some.

We're fishing Ross Barnet, Washingon, Arkabutla, Grenada, Enid and Sardis this year. Ya'll come on and if you're any good, PM me and I'll make plans to follow you around.

2011 MS CDC Tourney Schedule

2-19-11 Barnett.......Cock of the Walk
3-5-11 Washington.........Southern Star
4-23-11 Grenada...........Grenada Landing
5-14-11 Butla.............Hernando Point
6-11-11 Enid............George P. Cossar State Park
7-16-11 Sardis............Beach Point

Barnett is gonna be tough with the weather we've been having but I tell ya. Washington and Grenada are next and you talk about some of the biggest, strongest fish there are. If I was a betting man and IF the weather is good, you'll have to have over 14 pounds to win either of those 2 tourneys. Slab, you'll be in for a treat when you come down if the weather cooperates. Lots of big fish, awesome food and a sho nuff good time. Last year the Magnolia Crappie club fished it about this same time and the winning weight on 7 fish was OVER 19 POUNDS. We'd love to have some of you guys come down and fish it with us

Scary thing is Wb ain;t telling a fib. He sits on at the boat ramp for about 45 minutes and watches folks with his binocs to see who's catching what, then goes to where they are

crappie dot com tournament, lets see, all the clubs that have tournaments on here, take the winner of each championship from each years tournament schedule, and have all them fish a one pole one day tournament, that way everyone will be represented and we will who is the best crappie fisherman for at least one day. what do you win heck i dont know but I'll start the pool off with a 50 dollar donation if I dont have to fish any tournaments.

The system worked well. The problem with doing weights is that, in the south, usually crappies weigh more than their northern cousins of the same lenght. Just something to think about.

You have a good point there chevy.
