    Default Central Kentucky Crappie Tournament?


    Hey guys just wondering how many people would be interested in maybe getting a crappie tournament together somewhere in Central Kentucky. These bass boys are always throwing these together but us crappie fisherman are always left out. I don't mine organizing it but just need some input (Lake suggestions,dates). I was thinking maybe Herrington, Cedar Creek, Green river Lake, Kentucky River. I think it would be lots of fun and you would get to meet alot of local crappie fisherman.

    Cool It will be interesting to see ..

    ... just how much interest will be shown. The idea sounds great, and the details can be debated and finalized right here.

    I can see some minor problems, though. We have alot of members that may want to attend, but lake choice and time/date could leave many unable to attend. If we wanted to have a tournament, with a weigh-in & prize pot (be it money, prizes, just bragging rights, or all these), that shouldn't be much of a problem to pull off ... all we'd need was a standard measuring device and a set of scales. But, if we wanted to have a "get together" type of tourney, then we may run into some problems on certain lakes, as not all of the ones mentioned have facilities for that type of gathering.

    You might consider throwing Taylorsville Lake into the mix, as well. :p

    You might also consider just having the first one or two, to just be "get togethers", or even just multiple member hookups ... rather than an actual tourney ... and see how much interest/participation occurs.

    We'd need a set of rules/bylaws, so that everyone participating would be on the same page. This can also be discussed, and tweaked in accordance with the prevailing rules/regs/limits of the chosen lake.

    What about it, KY Crappie.com anglers ... ... speak yur piece, voice your concerns, and let's see what we can come up with.

    I like the "get together" idea over the "tournament" idea. Tournments (no matter how small) always turn in to somebody has to be the "big dog". If I am going to a new lake like some that you'll have mentioned. I would like some pointers on what is working to catch a few fish not someone "holding out" so they can win. Just my opinion. I think it would be a great idea for a "get together" and would drive from west Ky to attend! I would do my part on the "feed" also. If the idea gets off the ground, I will look forward to meeting you'll.

    Being new to the forum, I would be excited to participate. It's not easy finding folks in the Ville that love to go fishing like it do.

    I agree with crappiecrazy. I never thought of fishing as a competitive sport. that takes all the fun out of it and makes it WORK and I fish to get away from WORK. JMO.

    We're in! It would be really nice to meet y'all and have a nice time on a lake somewhere. I favor a "get together" type of event over a tournament, also, but we'll come whatever the event is. Saturday or Sunday are obviously our preferred days. We'll come to whichever lake works out best for most people, if I had to rank them for me personally, I'd put 1. Herrington, 2. KY River, 3. Cedar Creek, 4. Green River, 5. Taylorsville. I also like Wood Creek on I-75 at London a lot.

    Thanks for getting the ball rolling! Even if we don't get a lot of people to commit, I'd still be happy to meet a few people from this site.

    I'd come down from western PA to fish with you guys. Looking to fish more lakes in KY than just Ky lake. Wood creek on I-75 sounds good. Maybe only 6 hours away from me.:D

    According to Google Maps :

    Wood Creek is about 7.5hrs away from you
    Herrington Lake is about 7hrs away
    Taylorsville is about 7hrs away
    Green River Lake is about 8hrs away
    Cedar Creek Lake is about 7hrs away

    Ranking them, on a scale of possibly even catching a Crappie from them, I'd put Wood Creek last in line :p
    The only ones of these lakes, that I've even managed to catch a Crappie over 3/4lb out of ... is Herrington & Green River Lake. (caught 2lbr's from them, in the distant past).

    Nonetheless, you're more than welcome to come on down and join us .. !!
