I might be able to fish the first two , probably not the second two because of bow season . If its hot , I might choose to fish instead of hunt though . :)

JoeDog....you are the man!!!! Can't make the first one, but I may be able to set up the shelter at Crows Creek for the one in August. Let's call these "There's a five dollar fine for whinin'" tournaments!!!!!

Sounds like fun. I may have to hook a ride with someone or throw someone in the boat with me since pappy went and moved to central Missouri on me!!!!! Maybe we can get him to come back this way if there is some money in it......

JoeDog, I should be there to donate my entry fee to the winner. I haven't been on the lake for a month so we'll see if I can figure it out in a hurry Saturday

Looks like me & crappiejt will be able to make this one .. hoping it's cancelled due to rain, but if not, we'll be there to donate our entry fee and finally meet some of you guys. Looking forward to it!

Sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences to you and yours. There will be plenty of opportunities to fish so...as you say...next time.

Not going to make the first tourney tomorrow. Bummed b/c I haven't been on the water all month long but plans have changed. RHill and I will be there in August though. Good luck to all and be safe!

Dang. We'll be in WI on Lake Chetek catching a ton of crappie!! Oh well. One of these days.

Trailering is legal but man that’s a Long drive.

My dad and I both registered on CDC today and plan on doing our first father/son tournament on September 15th. I fished my first CDC tournament last weekend and had a great time. Dad's username is RickSr. We'll see you all next month.

double xl crappie Welcome to the site looking forward to meeting you and your dad at the next tournment. I think you will enjoy your time on here , there is a bunch of fine guys and gals here!!!! WELCOME

My fishing partner will be out of town for the September tourney, so I was going to try to find an open seat with someone. However, I just realized it's scheduled on the same day as the Jesse James Days parade, which is a big family tradition. How could a good Kearney boy schedule it on such a sacred day!!?? ;)
