Thread: Arkansas Crappie Association Comments

Well glad to see some folks saw my post as useful information. I can say that anyone knows me i joke and kid around but will also vocalize an opinion right or wrong to those hearing it. Take and use constructive criticism which thats what mine was intended as because many folks are too intimidated to say something. I am not here to bash the idea or put it down. I made valid observations and points. Take it or leave it as i have no dog in this. Was offering opinions to help make it better and allow more opportunities for the people of the whole state to participate and have a tourney closer to everyone and not just the folks who created it. I totally understand having the first couple close to the originators of the club and their home lake but after the first few i still stand that spread out around the state.

The idea of a north and south club may be a good one if the southerners must travel always north.

Good luck as I will not post on this again as i have said what I feel is appropriate and further discussion i would view as griping myself.

Good luck!

Your impression of Conway is correct! You can spider there, but use heavy line and light hooks! Oh, and there isn't a 15 ft deep hole anywhere on Conway. There are plenty of shallow bays and coves on Dardanelle that should be full of spawning Crappie during the time of the Spring Camp/Tournament.

Thanks Jason for stepping up, I think it will be a great success. Opposition will always come so let the bawl bags cry and just go on with your plan. The real fisherman that have confidence in themselves will be there.
When they announced a tournament on Dardanelle the other year I had never crappie fished on the lake but I put my time in and found fish and did well in the tournament.
Jason it doesn't matter to me where you have the tournaments I will pre fish and do well. So just know that there are some people out here that are in support of what you are doing. Thanks for your time and efforts.

Ok guys, I have confirmed with Jason. The February date is open so let's have a tournament on this date in the other regions.

Who's going to step up and take charge for this one????

For the northeast region, Horseshoe Lake is about the only fishable place that might have enough room. There are no facilities for meetings (registration) and only a grass parking lot area for weigh ins. I'm sure you want something with a few more accomodations. I have to agree with Handi, the northeast corner is a little limited in fishing places for events like this.
