We tried to start this last year but it never got off the ground. Who would be interested in fishing some next year? I would like to see us fish about 6 different lakes then a championship. Here are a few I had in mind: Horseshoe, Conway, Dardanelle, Greers, plus one in the South part of the state and one in the north part of the state. These are just my thoughts. Let's hear from some others.
Here are the rules from last year.

Creekslick, was there a reason why it never took off? I remember a few attempts made last year to start discussions on tourneys, and the one thing that makes it difficult is getting bogged down in the details. It seems to me that something like this could be successful, if it is kept as absolutely simple as possible. Following the KISS method is of utmost importance. Just my thoughts though, from what I have read. Hopefully, there will be a good, healthy discussion, and real results can be seen.

it works for me.
What would be a good lake to fish in South Ar? Chicot? Need input.Quote:

Sounds interesting to me, being a newbie,,do I get a 10# handicap? I think it would be a great way to meet other members, maybe learn some from the pros..
We waited a little too late last year to get started planning. I would like to see us have the first tournament in February, maybe at Horseshoe.
Is Ouachita far enough south for consideration?
forget monticello, chicot would need to be march or april dont know about milwood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would we want to have a tourney there during spring camp?Quote:

Heck guys I would even try to come down for a few of them. I mentioned Monticello because I have caught some good'uns there in the past while everyone else was bass fishing.
Ouachita I think would be a good choice for a lake as well, and mid Feb is a good time for fishing it as well.
I wouldn't recommend Chicot. It hasn't been a good crappie lake for the past 20 years....and that's a shame. Grand Lake at Eudora is one of the best around here and is only 20 minutes from Lake Village (we stay at our family's lake house on Chicot but go to Grand or the river lakes for Crappie fishing if we want to stay close). Monticello can be real good in the winter but have to fish 45-55 ft deep to catch'em....if you want to fish it in the summer you'll have to look hard for'em. We have caught a ton at Lake Pine Bluff the past couple of years...it's small but a good lake. Felsenthal has some great water for Crappie. Merrisach and Morgan's Point are another couple of great lakes. Don't forget Cane Creek! How about one of the river lakes like Lake Lee or Ferguson??? They can all be fished with an Arkansas license and can be excellent.
I could only fish a couple maybe because of my location in north Ar.
It seems all the get togethers are so far away from me, but I do understand.
I don't know what lakes yall would pick in the north part, but I believe I could make that one. Shoot I've never fished any of the lakes in Ar. except Horseshoe, and that was a 100 years ago..lol.

has any one of y heard fom pole bener?about is crappe fishin on stockton
Place one at Greeson around the first week in April and the wife and I will come down for that one! ;)
Sounds good to me Creek. Have boat will travel. With all the new members that are posting in Northeast AR I think they would be interested.
Had forgot you could fish Lee with AR license. Would the other lakes handle a tourney with 10-20 boats?Quote:

If you put these lakes on a map it kind of looks like a 5 pointed star with the center on the star in the center of the State.
I think they could handle a tourney, Creek. I only mentioned the larger waters that we fish in SE ark. Would have to check on Monticello to see if Crappie tourney would be allowed....I know they don't allow bass tourneys but I think the Crappie might be allowed. I didn't mention the white river refuge lakes but some of those might be large enough also.
What lake is being considered for north Ar.?
What about Norfork Lake?

Man I miss living close to all those prime fishing spots. I still travel to them cause personally I don't like fishing in northQuote:
