What a great time we had at our annual crappie.com gathering this past wknd! We had over 50 people come out to fellowship and enjoy some great food and talk crappie fishing! We had members from Michigan..Indiana..Tennesee come! I would like to thank the sponsors of our 2018 Louisiana Crappie.com gathering..without yall there wouldn't be anything to give back to the crappie fishermen and fisherwomen! I had a great time visiting with each and everyone of you! It can be stressful at times getting everything prepared but I am honored to do it in the end! Thank you to my father Warren Maxwell (Maxwell328) for all the help..I truly appreciate everything you do! Thank you Ed Moes (Slab) for creating a great website for us crappie fishermen!

Thank you to all the sponsors. One other one I would like to thank is Tanya Schneider, owner of Courageous Coffee in Portland, Mi. She donated some of her gourmet roasted coffee to the event and even customized the bags for us.

Louisiana CDC... Thank you for your hospitality.. it was great putting faces to the names.. The food was outstanding...the fishing fun. Got to visit with some old friends and make new. It was an honor to attend your event and I hope some of you get a chance to come North and fish with us sometime.
