Crappie Tournament

[LRJoe]

Boys, why don't we get a tournament together. Just between us in the next couple of weeks. We can all meet at the I-430 boat ramp and fish the LMR or the Ark River. We can say $20 a boat and pay the top 5 boats.

Whatever we catch, we can eat that evening.

What do you all think? Could be some good fun, and we could all make fun of the boat that lost!!:D

[NIMROD]

How about having it at Nimrod and last place gets a free guided trip on the lake ?:D Maybe we could get Slabbandit to take next to last place out fishing too ! Also just to make it sporting no live baits and 1 pole each person on 2 man team ?

[Slipcork]

I'll take last place! I think ther might be a fight. I might not even put a hook on my line. The outing is worth the fee. Sign me up!

[bobberwatcher]

Sign me up.

If it's at LMR , who would be willing to share their boat if I get to attend?

[LazyJ]

I might go $5 on a big fish pot

I rather fish with anyone else cause I want a chance to win your entry fee. Ha!Ha! A side bet of a six pack of beer would be good too.:D

Count me out on wagering on fishing. I love to gamble and crappie fish but dont ever mix the two. Having fished in previous bass clubs and various tourneys I have found there is no possible way to do it and not have folks act like jerks and get there feelings hurt. In fact we have stayed away from a big fish pot on our Central Arkansas crappie gatherings for this very same reason. Think about this. If we are fishing for money CEB or LR Joe who fish the Little Maumelle the most are going to be tight lipped about what the fish are doing because they would want to win the money. If we were fishing our usuall crappie gathering they would take bouy markers and point out locations that all would catch fish. Tourneys make it a me and not we event and that was the specific reason we started having these gatherings to help others catch fish on unfamiliar waters. Count me in for attendance if my schedule permits and I will sure dish out my share of bs. I may be dumb but I have enough sense to keep my money in my pocket when the area pro chalenges me to a wager. I will just save my 20.00 for food at the May gathering.

I'll 2nd that motion, competive fishing becomes non-recreational very quickly.
