I'm sure there is more of a challenge to a night tournament, but unsafe? To a small degree possibly. But to what percentage is negligable I would think. I've fished many night tournaments in Bass clubs. Aside from pricking a finger with a hook, it wasn't much of an issue. One should remember to obey common safety practices at all times - especially at night.

One lake not on the circuit but worth a look might be Lake Lemon. It has it's down side with the Conservancy docking and boat pass fees. The upside is that it does have some nice slabs. Just a thought if new lakes are an option.

I've wondered about Lemon, myself. Launching for a tournament is $16. I would think it may fish a little smaller, but I could be wrong.

The other possible lakes would be natural lakes up north like Wawasee and Maxinkuckee. These are also black crappie lakes, which would more than likely favor one type of fishing over another.

I'm not sure if Freeman/Schafer would be any good, since I've never fished them.

I checked into Lake Lemon back in January and they have a 25 boat max for tournaments.

Besides the parking lot and ramp are too small for our club.

like you i also like to fish @ night... just not in a tournament... i have seen guy run into boats, run up on top of docks and one guy ran so far on to land he walked 20 yards back to the lake to get help to pulling it back to water... just to beat the clock...

"One should remember to obey common safety practices at all times - especially at night"... they wont...

Man, isn't is great that we have that problem!

Just out of curiosity, this weekend at the Classic during the first days weigh-in someone was talking about next years schedule. They were saying 6 tournaments total and that they are definately cutting out the "Hot Months"? Anyone know for sure? 6 tournaments are fine with me as well as skipping the hot months. With only 6, I can save some vacation time and go do some flying. (My other Hobby - RC flying, not full scale)
