The Central Illinois Crappie Club will be kicking off its first event of the year by holding a membership drive on April 18th.
The itinerary for the event is as follows:
6:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Anyone interested in joining the club can meet at the Bo Woods Launch Area of Lake Shelbyvile and fill out a membership application and pay $20 towards your membership. We will be running this as an exhibition event where you will check in, do a livewell check, go over rules, and weigh in afterwards. No money will be awarded as this is a trial run for anyone that has never entered a tournament before and will be used as a way to introduce you to how a tourney will operate in the future.
Once completed with weigh ins and fish cleaned for the fish fry we will proceed to Wyman Park in Sullivan, Illinios on North Main street 4 blocks north of Illinois 121.
If you did not want to fish but just wanted to come to the meeting that is fine, just show up at the park with your $20.00 membership dues and we will get you signed up.
The itinerary for the meeting and fish fry is as follows:
1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. We will conduct our first meeting to discuss the results of the executive committee meetings on April 2nd and April 9th. We will discuss officers, dues, tourney fees, tourney formats, lakes we will be fishing and any various thoughts that come up at the meeting.
2:30 p.m. to ??? We will be holding a fish fry and get together so we can all converse and convey ideas with one another. During the fish fry we will be having a 50/50 drawing that we will be giving away prizes such as fishing pole, jig tubes, jig heads, steak n shake coupons, and other various prizes.
Look forward to seeing everyone there!
