    Default Deland Florida Crappie Masters Media Day - Slab comes in second with "one fish"!


    Name: IMG_6849.jpg Views: 494 Size: 30.4 KB

    I was invited to attend the Crappie Masters Tournament "Media Day" event being held here in Deland Florida on the St. Johns River. Of course I jumped at the opportunity. Billbob had left the day before but he was still there in spirit (see photo above)! I fished with Brad Meyer and Dave Pfoutz and we killed them!

    We fished the river, moving from spot to spot at varying depths, spider rigging with double rigs tipped with minnows. The bite was slow but steady. We lost some very nice fish as well.

    Brad and Dave were tons of fun, we had a great time. Thank you both so much for getting us on the fish.

    Don Collins and Steve Chapman (of Fishing Florida Radio) were fishing nearby and took first place catching a 1lb 9oz Crappie.

    Billbob attended the weigh in too. He seemed to really enjoy himself there.

    We placed second with this Crappie Weighing 1lb 6.4oz

    Brad's boat sported some real nice individually mounted trolling rod holders I thought I'd mention. Very sturdy, and high quality for sure. Check them out at Grizzly Jigs.

    I'll certainly be at the weigh in on Saturday afternoon at Ed Stone Park to see what all is bought in.

    My fishing buddy that I drag to Oregon and other places lives in Deland. Sounds like a great time.

    Great read. I met and spoke with the Rambo's for quite a bit the other evening at Lake Monroe Park. Real nice folks like most everyone I have met that is involved.

    Looks like a great day catchin some nice river specks !!
    The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"
