Welcome tncrappiebass. We will be having a tournament Tim's Ford this Saturday the 20th. You are more then welcome to come. Fishing starts at 5:30am and weigh in is at 12:30pm. Not to sure if anyone lives that far north of where we fish. You can go to the Middle Tennessee Crappie Club web site. On there you will find contact an officer. Any one of those guys will be happy to tell you all about the club. We do have fun fishing the tournaments and general talking about crappie fishing. As far as getting the hang of the crappie tournaments all you have to do is go fish for crappie. The three lakes we fish are all different so it does make it interesting at times. Good luck and hope to see you at one of the club events.
