Crappie University classes consist of four, 2-hour sessions taught during weeknights and usually over a period of four weeks. A different instructor teaches each night, covering diverse and comprehensive topics through multi-media presentations and hands-on demonstrations.
Missouri-based "Crappie Coach" Barry Morrow has been involved in Crappie University since its start three years ago and says the program is a must-attend for anyone interested in the species.
Sometimes it's the most subtle tips that become the aha moment for Crappie U attendees.
"The instructor lineup reads like a Who's Who of the crappie-fishing world," Morrow said. "Each has his or her favorite techniques to share, but often it's the more subtle takeaways, like a specialty knot or perhaps a tip for keeping track of how deep your bait is running, that become the eye-opening aha moments."
Noted Oklahoma crappie authority Todd Huckabee agrees. "Seminars are one thing, but these classes are so different because everyone who attends is there for one thing only - learning more about catching crappies," he said. "As a result, the classroom interaction is amazing and the networking among like-minded anglers is unmatched. I'm a huge fan of Crappie U."
