I have started the process of looking into starting a tournament trail. I have been pricing things out and my fishing partner is talking with an insurance contact to determine the details around that. I think it would be fun to start an Iowa State Championship across the three lakes you stated. I know a few fishing teams from Missouri that would come up for tournaments if we can get something decent going. The earliest I would be able to get something going would be 2020. Like I said though, I am just getting details gathered.
However, if someone from the Southern Iowa Crappie club could get something going again, that would be awesome. I think we have enough interest to have a good number of boats for each tournament.
