Crappie tournaments

[okiecrappieman]

has anyone heard anything about any of the crappie trails hitting Oklahoma this year? If not has anyone thought of trying to get a club of sorts started around here?

I' ve been fishin' crappie tournaments since my early teen years with my dad. Now my kids are old enough to get into with me and all the trails have all but abandoned Oklahoma. I wonder just how many people here would be interested in fishing a crappie club here in Oklahoma. I've been a partof a few bass clubs and as long as most of the members get along its not to hard run a club. I might be willing to try if i have the help of a few people.

Lets do it, start it as jackpots or something. I love to see the big slabs come to the scales! Set a date, a lake and time and see who shows up? Adverstise it as CDC jackpots! EB

[okiecrappieman]

you are very right! I do believe thought that Crappiemaster is having tournament this year over on Dardenelle(sp?) a lake i do love to fish on!

[arkyfishing]

[okiecrappieman]

[arkyfishing]

I was talking to a gentlemen yesterday and that said they are seriosly going to start a crappie club here on Eufaula. There plan is to start crappie tournament jackpots once or twice a month, kinda like a basss club. I believe they are going to have there first one in March and see how it goes. He said that the entries would be $50 per team and the payback would be 100%. They plan to have these jackpots on different areas on the lake and the end of the year tournament at a different lake. They were trying to get some input from the crappie fisherman that have fished tournaments over the years to make sure everything is done right. They are wanting to run these tournaments for the fisherman in mind and see how it progresses. There are no tournament trails that come to Oklahoma much anymore and I think it will be good. Anyway he wanted me to put something on the board to get input an see what kind participation we would get! What do ya'll think EB
