Does the ACA have a website? I googled and it looks like the updates are aged. Just curious....Thanks
do you have to fish all tournaments posted or just a few if possible? I work alot and would like to fish a tournament, like gbatts, to self improve my skills but dont have capability to miss alot of work and drive all over state (although I would like to):biggrin
We could just do a crappie com fruit jar sometime. Put a bunch lakes in a pot, post a day and draw a lake a day or two before to eliminate prefishing. Although some lakes will always be someone's home waters.
I like it JW I'm in
why would you eliminate prefishing ??????
These will be "fruit-jar" type tournaments with small entry fees and only held on weekends. I am not putting this together but I did help the guy with the rules, etc.
He says he will post the information today. I know the schedule and the tournaments are scheduled at good times according the spring bite on each lake.

I'll get in on some of those tournaments. I'm not looking to win, but I do like going to a new lake and learning to fish something different and meeting some new people!
Come to the MS FJ's. They are a blast

I think they were talking about not having prefishing because alot of guys work all week and can't take time off before the tournaments . These sound fun especially for newbies like me to learn and meet folks .
You got it faithfularcher. It levels the playing field as much as possible. No matter the choice of lake will be one that is someones home lake and will have an advantage. But by posting the lake a day before and launch site you would eliminate a lot of the prefishing and someone tieing out fish and make it more levelized field since most of us still work for a living. Put in the pot all the lakes up front with enough for obe lake per tourney. Then as the pot shrinks the ability to predict what lake goes up but just a way to level the field IMO. These are not professional but meant to be fun. How can a guy that works all week compete against the guys that have more time to prefish. Not a level field

This sounds like a blast, I'd be in on these!
I fish something long time ago that where everyone met at boat ramp and pick fishing partners and each team came with one boat. The boat owner pick out of the hat so you never knew who you fish with. We made some good friend and fish a lot of different ways. Now this was when I bass fish 30 years ago. We all had a lot of fun fish this way.
Bob been in those tourneys too. I went as a non-boater at that time. Not sure that makes a lot of sense because towing a boat can be expensive and the run around gas too for a fellow to just show up and take a ride to fish with me. I usually like people to half the bill or trade trips.

I know Im a sad, no catching, no good crappie fisherman. I think I caught 5 fish sense fishing with JW. I just keeping going back hoping to make a limit one of the days
Ok im pumped if anything we can jus throw sum tournament's with local crappie.comrs and even if it is someones home lake we can agree to whoever wins has to give the keys to catchin fish as far as technique and location...but we may have to ban ol arkansasboehunter bc he is obviously to advanced with his side imagery and seeing wut kind of zoo plankton the local threadfin shad are feedin on at the time lol
Ok gk I ain't that high tetchy lol. Gin dog better get to catching instead of fishing baaawaaaaa
I ve been wondering about any upcoming tourney s myself GK , I would jump at the chance to fish one !!!!!! I'm game anytime someone gets something going
Ok you guys got me interested. When and where? Ill bring the minners AND nibbles.

Well being at the fire dept i work one day then off two so i would have plenty of time to brew up some type of tournament deal for us... maybe jus ppl brainstorm up some things we could do like entry fee cost, location, time and date jus everybody add their two cents and we could get something worked up... i think it would b awesome!
Just noticed the sticky showing the schedule for the 2013 ACA tourney s . I'm pumped !
Hey guys not sure if you noticed I did post the ACA updated rules and schedule it is on the top of Arkansas page. I have been working with a couple of the other crappie.comers to make the rules and schedule so I hope we all can get together and have some friendly competition and most of all learn new techniques and ideas. Hopes everyone can make the tournaments!

I'm willing to let someone have some of my money to learn how to fish better and become a better fisherman. I fish any day anyone wants to.
