Thread: Crappie Tournaments?

I actually tried typing it in just like the pic says & nothing for me. No biggie though i'll find out. Thanks

KCT no longer has tournaments on Green but they still have them on Barren, Rough River, Nolin and Taylorsville. Go to the Kentucky Crappie Trail Facebook page for info.

Rick just wondering as far & green & taylorsville were they holding them out of state parks?

don't know about Green, but T-ville usually runs out of possum ridge state park

That’s why they were told they had to have insurance etc. it’s on the state parks & not a requirement for corps of engineers ramps. I was told that by the corps of engineers.

If there are any I can only hope the tournament directors are more empierced that the one/ones that organized the crappie shoot out on Dale Hollow earlier this month. Read about it, look at the pictures of hundreds if not thousands of dead crappie. Even some of the the folks that fished in it told stories about all the dead fish in live wells and floating in the water from being pulled up from 30 plus feet deep. Nothing good about that tournament for Dale hollow nothing!

Anything weighed in should have to be alive.

I think the problem was that the fish were so deep (30-50fow) they got the bends from being pulled out of those depths and were not treated ("fizzed") before being put in the livewells. Friend of mine said he fizzed his fish, and if the bladder was sticking out of the fish's mouth they survived ... but if not, they didn't make it. He had 18-20lbs in the two day tourney & only finished in the 30 somethings place. That tells me they were weighing in dead fish (IMHO). The really bad PR part of it all was the dead fish floating and several 120qt coolers full of dead fish. Still don't know what happened to all those dead fish.
