Hi, This is Luke from the tournament. We had a great time fishing in the tournament. It was great to meet people that are as passionate about crappie fishing as we are. I'm amazed at how all of you can catch fish any where you go. It has taken us years to learn how to consistently catch fish on cedar. We catch our fish on submerged structure, mostly hardwood trees and stake beds. We have put out hundreds of these man made structures on cedar. We catch fish by dropping minnows and jigs down in these structures. Most of our fish came out of 20' of water Saturday. I wouldn't know where to start on a different lake.

Luke we are glad you had a good time we just like to get togather and have a good time as far as catching fish on all the lakes some days is tuffffff!! I like little bear best of the lakes we fish but saturday we started out long lining and just found small fish and then we started pulling some crank baits and the fish was a little better but still not what we wanted.as far as catching fish everywhere we go it just goes back to time on the water and trying different stuff but still there are days when the fish win I quess that is why we call it fishing. Again glad ya came and I hope ya can fish some more with us if you want some more info on the club just pm me.
