HOI Crappie Club 2018 Tournament Schedule
Hello All,
Below is our 2018 tournament schedule. We are putting more focus on larger lakes and have included Shelbyville. Those that are interested in fishing the Crappie USA Classic, just need to win one of our tournaments and be a member of both Crappie USA and HOI Crappie Club.
We meet monthly at Presley's outdoors in Bartonville. Attendance is NOT mandatory to be a member. We gather to discuss club business and share fish stories. We like to pump the last winner for information about techniques and bait used to win. We don't ask for secret spots, that is between you and the other 40 boats on the lake at the time. lol
