Thread: Arkansas Crappie Association Comments

I'm just a happy fella to be here!!

I think for a new tourney circuit to start, the central locations would be better for everyone. I like beating folks on their home lake. ;-)

Expanding to regional events would make sense also, but ya gotta START somewhere. There isn't gonna be a completely level playing field regardless of where ya have em!!!!!!

If you want to talk about a drive. Me and Handi will carpool. We are used to driving.

A permit will be needed on Dardenelle, Nimrod, and Greers if a tournament has more than 25 participants and spectators, just got that info for a Man "that's in the know".

Wouldnt that apply to crappie camp's tournament as well?

I don't think it will be needed at camp because there is no entry fee or money to be won. But I will ask.

i have a question, how do you become a member of ACA? Who all is on the board?
I don't want to make them mad

I have to agree with Handi, the northeast corner is a little limited in fishing places for events like this.

They have tournaments on horseshoe lake all the time but it would be better if there was a pavilion or some other building to use as a central meeting place.
