Can anyone give me the low down on the May 8th fruitjar tournament on Barnett? We need to know where the registration site will be, what is the cost, what are the rules, and what is the weigh-in times. You can send this info to Bobby Cleveland and he might put it in the CL. There should be a good crowd.
It's 40 to enter and 10 more for BIG FISH. We haven't set the check in or weigh in location YET. Look at the off topic forum above and we have all the rules. You weigh 7 fish
Rules are on a sticky at the top of the Mississippi Off Topic page or you can just click on this http://www.crappie.com/crappie/off-t...ies-rules.html
Good question tho, where to sign up & weigh in.
Cock of the walk or Rankin landing on the East side of the dam. Think there's a fee if you weigh in at Tommy's or Browns. Besides, you can get anywhere you want to get on the rez in about 15 minutes from either of those places. IF I had to guess where folks were gonna be fishing at that time of year, I'd say Roses Bluff, 3 prong, Saw Dust and a couple of the old lakes like Rice and McMillan anyways and you won;t have to deal with the "S" curve this way
For the amount of boats you will have there isn't a fee. The fee is for tournaments over 50 boats and it goes to Pearl River. Now there is a permit required but I'm sure you guys have taken care of that. I may even fish this one!
You scared Wannabe into getting with all the regulatory folks on all the lakes when you told him about Crappie Jail. LOL I'm betting on there being 30 boats in this one
Don you may surprise me but its hard to get 30+ boats in a crappie tournament. The most we have had this year is 41.
and I know of a few from down here that will fish barnett that haven't fished any yet. Ya never know. At 40 bucks to enter and only 10 more bucks for big fish, it's cheaper and people will feel like they have more of a chance. Just me thinking out loud but the 90 Tourney fee plus 50 for joining the MCC and the insurance turns some folks off. yeh, the payout is ALOT bigger but alot of people can't afford 90 each time when they feel like they are just giving it away to a pro
Crappie Jail ? What the heck :confused:?
I hate there is this misconception about MCC regarding pros. When you guys figure out what a crappie pro is let me Know. Last time I checked even Capps & Coleman have day jobs!!! I know the pro stigma is there and it has been ever since I joined. At first I'll admit it intimidated me but after a short 6 years I feel I can compete with everybody in the club. I will say this the club is made up of some fine fishermen. Most of the guys are capable of winning a tournament at anytime!
I will say if you guys are letting the $90 keep you from fishing you are looking at it all wrong. If you fish the entire season you get allot of money back in points. There are also incentives when you bring in sponsorship monies. We also fish for somewhere around the $20,000 mark give or take a few thousand for a championship where we pay down 20 spots each day of the two day tournament. Each day is treated as a separate tournament and the highest combined weight of the two days gets an extra $500. Don't let the money scare you away is all I'm saying!
telling you what some have told me. I will be in it next year with you guys. Then I'm gonna take YO MONEY. :rolleyes:
I agree with ya Hugh....just another good bunch og guys that happen to be exceptional crappie fishermen. I was a little intimidated at first but ya cant be scared if ya wanna play. Pay ur dues and ride out the waves!!!
I think yall should use Cock of the Walk as NO ONE WILL BE THERE. You will have a GIANT ramp all alone. Same with the ramp by Rapids on the East side of the lake just off the damn. Will be next to no one at either of those locations. Plenty of parking spots to spread out.
