Thread: Lake Rathbun Crappie Club

Held our first tournament 9/18/2011 only 5 teams showed but all had a good time top team came in at 7.25lbs for 5 fish so fishing is still decent here anyway we are looking for any crappie fisherman interested in joining us we may be starting small but we have lots of good ideas and hope to get a working base of teams so we can really organize over the winter and come out strong in spring of 2012 and hold at least 1 tournament a month thru to oct if interested you can post here or call Frank At 641-895-4911

Hey Frank would love to make it down there for the tournament on the 9th can you p.m. me some information. I will see what I can do not sure as I am leaving for Wyoming on the 13th for a Mule deer hunt.
