We had no Choice but have the Dardanelle tournament on April 11th due to the first weekend of April 4 and 5 is Easter weekend! And to accommodate turkey season which last from April 18 through May 3rd. That left us with April 11th! We wanted to be sure and get a tournament on Dardanelle in April because the history on Dardanelle April is the best month on the lake to catch larger then normal Crappie! And the bite is usually at its peak! Sorry we have some that feel we have not scheduled accordingly but we have a meeting each year at the end of the current season to discuss the lakes, dates, and rules and we vote on the dates and schedule them based around holidays and other conflicts we may find.
