• Illinois 2014 Crappie Camp Picture Story


    Billbob arrives in his new RV and claims his territory as he plants the Crappie.com flag.


    I still stay in a tent with Abbey. Ted snores too loud!


    We needed a campfire Friday night. It was quite cold. In fact, it hailed that day, and enough collected to have a snowball fight.


    Abbey and Kallee again, just like they were pictured together last year. Except with more cloths on cause of the cold. Here's a link to last year picture story: http://www.crappie.com/crappie/conte...ke-Shelbyville
    Kallee's mom and Cropy42 made the Friday night food that night like they did last year. Thanks, the burger that was twice the size of the bun was awesome.


    Abbey was cold the next morning when we went fishing. I'm about to launch Billbobs boat with his new RV. I tell you, launching a boat with this behemoth ain't exactly easy.


    The fishing was good. We only fished for maybe 3 hours max and we caught 13 Crappie plus about a half dozen of other species. Nothing real big, but sure had a lot of action.



    Now if that don't beat all, a gewber catching a Crappie using a goober! Custom jigs by ScottV!


    Oh oh, Abbey see's a friend, Bammbamm and Bowbenter too! lol


    Abbey met Bammbamm at last years camp when he was just a little puppy. Now he's a big puppy.


    Let the games begin.


    Here's Billbob appeasing his fans, signing autographs. Hey, how come I pay for the Billbob koozies, he signs them, charges $5 a signature, and I get nothing! Hmmm, somethings wrong with this picture.


    Same great band we had last year. Bluegrass music really got everyone going. It seems Billbob forgot his dancing shoes, so we did not get any dancing pics this year.


    Wow, what a great bunch of prizes.


    Wally Marshall provided a ton of rod and reel combos, so many that each of the girls won one.


    Group photo. The only ones missing here were the cooks.


    Speaking of the cooks. Thank you all so much for some great food.


    And finally, we have to have the customary Billbob pics.

      Sure glab that you and Billbob made it again with Abby. Had a chance to meet some more great people on here and talked to some old friends. There was a few I didn't get a chance to meet because there isn't enough time in the day and with putting everything together with Clfarms1 I just coldn't make the rounds. Hope everyone can make next years camp, the weekend between Mothers Day and Memorial Day seems to work the best and bring a friend or two. Hope to see ya there. We are trying to put together a fall camp with just fishing and shooting the bull, no raffle or big dinner but I'm sure we are going to eat. Thanks Pat.

      Fun times,
      lots of prizes.
      plenty baits,
      In all sizes.
      listen to the bluegrass sounds,
      While Billbob makes his usual rounds.
      Thank you sponsors,
      you make the day.
      Everyone wins,
      If Slab has his way.

      Congrats guys.....looks like a great event......
