The reason I am here is due to a good customer of mine (and fellow-member of crappie.com) who's name is known around Central Florida fishing holes as "Jack, the Crappie Slayer". Jack first started coming into my Bait & Tackle store (located right ON the St. Johns River) shortly after we opened our doors 1.5 years ago. Jack recently suggested I sign up here both for knowledge about crappie fishing and to see if there would be interest in having a summertime crappie tournament series here on the St. John's River, but with a big twist. I'm not at liberty to say what that "twist" is yet, but serious crappie fishermen throughout Central Florida who know Jack have already expressed huge interest to him in being a part of such monthly events. So my questions to all the membership here, but specifically those within a couple hours of Deland Florida is this: Would you gentlemen and ladies be interested in such monthly events here in Central Florida, especially if 80 to 100 percent of all entry-fees were paid out for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and even 4th-place finishers?
I welcome ALL suggestions, as Jack and I want to get this kicked off for the middle of each month from June thru October before the snow-birds start coming back down to Florida.
