I grew up in West Texas and there is a love of crappie there. They just may not have that many groups. Doesn't hurt to start one.

them western crappie anglers is kinda quiet and keep to themselves unless you is in that circle
they are on some monster crappie as i type at a lake i call mini grenada .....
2 lb fish are the norm this time of year there
some 3 fish get ate from there as well
the bank is ON FIRE !

i know thats right , some stranger i met one day at one lake , was giving up info about a spot my bud was keeping quiet about at another lake
he is a guide and tries to keep the general public off his money spots .
this guy was detailed with the info . and just gabbing and i thought WOW my bud will strangle him if he meets this guy

Texas in general suffers in crappie clubs and the bigger clubs that host tourneys seem to avoid the biggest state in America for some reason..... Had puzzled me for a long time.....

it is because i imagine the local guys that fish certain lakes daily .
hard to outfish a guy that knows his lake like the back of his hand.
and then some of them share information and have that as a side kicker when they hit other lakes .
heck they will even lie and send you to the wrong lake or spot sometimes .
had several of them "friends" in this area do that trash to me as well .
of course i have a pretty good memory still and know who is who mostly
and those that do that kind of thing to me and others can have at it
none of them are in my circle for SURE !
I heard several good crappie guys saying they would NOT be in a tournament due to a local guide with a livescope just Sunday !
Said they might as well just give him the money and not bother giving it to the tournament as he would win for sure .
west of town that was ,,,,,just saying

Yeah Ketchum I've seen that type and a great reason for a crappie fishermen to do their own research..... It can start at home by studying lake maps......I take any crappie report as a second line of thinking as most are from yesterday or earlier and as you know yesterday is history with crappie fishn......
