Crappie Master's/Lake Dardanelle/April 27th-28th/Who's Fishing

Whelp Guys, It was a great spring fishing camp, Fishing vacation with my family, and now my eyes are on Crappiemaster's on Lake Dardanelle at the end of the month. Guy's If you have never fished a CrappieMaster's Tourney you should give it a try it's a blast and exciting. For me it's competeing at the highest level in our sport and it's a televised event. They have a great seminar/dinner, Door Prizes/Give aways, Kids Rodeo, and one lucky contestant will walk away with a brand new Bass Tracker Pro series boat at the end of the tourney (Drawing) and you dont even haft to weigh an OZ of Crappie to win it. Guys Lake Dardanelle is a World Class Crappie fishery and with 33,000 acers and 54 miles long this tourney will be a slugfest right at post spawn and hungry crappie coming off the beds. It's going to be a fun one to be apart of and I hope to see many of you all there as a competitor or come to the weigh-ins and cheer us on. Even the spectator's usually get something for coming out and if you have kids you want to get em to the Kids Rodeo for sure. So How many of you will be coming out or competeing and by all means if you see me and the Dark Angel come by and say HI!!!. Hope to see you all there and let's show them BassMasters HOW TO GET IT DONE!!!

Here's the Site.
Crappie Masters

Team Midsouth will be there! Russ sums it up well guys, it will be a great event and great for the local economy as well. I've worked and brought the tourney trail to Conway twice and now to dardanelle where a brand new bass tracker will be giving away! Special thanks to Bradford marine on this very generous sponsorship!

We need to support this tourney with at least 25 Arkansas teams which shouldn't be hard to do. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call or pm me.

I'm probably going to fish still working on pattening the big boys. The small ones are everywhere right now. What kind of weight do you guys expect to win it

Rieve I really think it's going to take 14 fish around 2lbs apiece to win. So My guess is 28 lbs and with such a big lake somebody is going to find that honey hole and will have it all to themselfs. I have been wieghing my biggest seven every trip and have been averaging 10-13 lbs a trip. The really neat thing about Dardanelle is im catching fish everywhere right now and I think we will see a bunch of seven fish limits. Lake Dardanelle is full of crappie and big slabs.

Getting close! You will be able to sign up next Thursday at the seminar.....

Hey Crappie Pro, are they being catching them trolling or one pole dipping? Thanks-

Sounds like they are everywhere right now…

Im going Russ,,,just haven't had much time to pre-fish. I have only fished that lake once. Should be eventful.

the problem isnt catching fish. It is catching big ones

The final registration for the tournament will be held at the Russellville Hughes Center in Russellville on April 26th.* Registration begins at 5 pm.* The banquet will be at 6 pm and the seminar at 7 pm.

Kevin both are productive, fish are bitting and it will be the team who can weed through the small fish to get the seven money fish... to dawn a Championship. See ya at the Seminar.

Thanks man, havent been there in 6 years, so looking forward to it. There is less than 40 registered for the tournament so I hope a bunch more show up, need to support Arkansas so we can get some more big tournaments...

See you there-

Good luck to you Russ and to you too Midsouth. Wish I could make it back down. Had a blast at the AR camp! I'll be watchin close.
