2020 Spring Crappiefest - April 11, 2020 at Lake Russell B State Park Shelter #3

Been four years since we have held or Crappiefest on Lake Russell but this spring we are renewing the event for our SC and surrounding states Crappie.com family.

This is a event for the entire family to come and spend the day with other Crappie.com members and friends. We will have our tournament to began the day and after weigh in we will have the meal. This is a great event each year and gives everyone a chance to fellowship with our Crappie.com family and friends. Make your plans to attend this years event, you will enjoy the day.

There are no fees charged for any of our events and we only ask for the ones that come to help out with any supplies needed for the meal and other events of the day. If you would like to make a small donation that goes to the cost of renting the shelter and trophies please do so at the event, there will be a "donation box" at the shelter. Any money left over will go toward next years event. We want to thank everyone that has helped in the past events for their support.

We will have a swap meet again this year also, if you have anything you want to sell be sure to bring it with you. You never know what others my be looking to buy and the swap meet has always been interesting. I have bought things I didn't even know I needed

Fishing Tournament
Our rules are simple, each boat will weigh in their 5 best crappie. We will give out trophies for the weights of 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. If there is a tie the biggest crappie for the team will be the tie breaker for the win. We will also have a prize for the biggest crappie and the biggest fish so be sure to keep your big fish for the weigh-in.

This year we are having two divisions; motor boat and a kayak division.

Rules
1. Live-wells will be checked. Once your live-well has been checked and you have signed in you will be able to trailer your boat to any of the ramps on (Lake Russell) but you "must" be back for the weigh-in start time. ( if the lake is busy it is your responsibility to allow the time you need to be at weigh-in time)
2. Each boat is a team, 5 crappie weigh-in.
3. If anyone is caught trying to cheat they will be disqualified and banned from any of our future events and could be banned from Crappie.com also.
4. All Ga. and S.C. game laws are to be followed.
5. No matter what is happening at the lake it is your responsibility to allow time to be at the weigh-in.
6. Sign-in will be from 6 am til 7 am for the tournament. Fishing times are from 7 am until 12:30. (No fishing before 7 am and no fishing after 12:30 ) Weigh-in will be held at 1:00 at shelter #3. You must be at the weigh-in when your name is called or you will be disqualified.

I've been waiting for us to have another Russell CrappieFest for a long time. Sign me up! I'll probably have at least one more fishing with me.
