Eufaula Okie Crappie.Com Tournament March 2, 2013

Details for the March 2, 2013 Okie Crappie.Com Tournament are as follows. One rule change is check and sign-in will be from 6am til 7am and has been changed since its a huge lake and a long drive from one end to the other. Fishing time remains the same from 8am (honor system) til loading time. Weigh-in will be at 4pm sharp.

Ok here's the details: Sign-in will be at LAKESHORE ONE STOP in Crowder Oklahoma across the road from Huckabee's old store. Again the sign-in will be from 6 am til 7 am.
Dale will be open early and will provide a surprise breakfast special for all fisherman to purchase. He will be stocked up on shiners for all that need minnows. Be sure to give Dale a big THANKS for opening and providing us a great place to meet and sign-in.
Weigh-in will be at the city park and boat ramp area as it was year before last. There should be plenty of parking. If it is bad weather and raining it will be held at the pavilion across the road. Scales will be provided and we will have our NEW TEAM WEIGH-IN BOARD THANKS TO REDGE (KIRK) to log weights.
If you have any questions contact Brian Young (EB) at 918-617-0362

If at all possible we will have our new shirts at the sign-up and weigh-in for everyone to look at and purchase. All the details are not availiable at this time but should be out by the middle of the week.

God Bless and hope to see you all on Eufaula

Guess I will start this off, Who's gonna be fishin it.

Ranger and Charlie

I was hoping to at least make this one, but that's the Saturday I'm taking my Royal Rangers to the Pinewood Derby Competition in Oologah.

Brian and Doug are in! aka EB and Odie

Kevin and Gaston are in, aka Whisperer and the old sage/geezer. Don't tell him I said that, he abuses me enough as it is.

I'll be there. I finally have the time to fish another tournament.

One more tidbit of information: Only three tournaments left before the our Trail Classic. So with that said if you or your team hasn't fished a tournament yet you will need to fish the remaining three tournaments to be qualified for the Classic. Just a friendly reminder.........Ranger

We will be posting information about boat ramps and hazardous areas on the lake due to the low water conditions this week. Ranger and I went down and lloked a several ramps on the south end yesterday. Please if you have any questions call me 918-617-0362! EB

Whisperer I had your dad with me spider rigging with fish on 3 rods and 1 hung up and he said "they ought to put you in jailk for abusing the elderly" becaus I was laughing!LOL EB

I will be there. I look forward to getting involved.

Yep EB, dad told me those 14' rods of yours sure gave him some fits. I've been riggin with him on Eufaula and he got so aggravated i had to dodge the rods he was throwin into the back of the boat. I may have to wear a kevlar vest and a helmet if he wants to spider rig during the tournament. We caught a bunch of fish, but I'm not sure the fun outweighed the fear he put in me lol.

I am are currently keeping an eye on the weather for Saturday. I will tell you the forecast looks pretty rough. Looking ahead at possible dates just incase I have to postpone, April 6 would be the date. But I will be sure to let everyone know by Wednesday. I want this tourn to be enjoyable and fun, I fish in bad conditions all the time and I can tell you fishing in temps from 20-36 degrees is pretty tough, not to mention all the weird things that happen with boat maintainence. Plus we still have several boat ramps that we cant use due to low water conditions. But the lake is gradually coming up everyday. It is 4 ft below normal after the rains last week. If you have any questions or concerns please call me! EB

The ramp in Crowder closest to the small dock, Eufaula Cove, Rock Creek and the ramp just off of 9A near Oak Ridge are all usable. The other ramp in Crowder is a little "iffy". The Hickory Point ramp is usable also but navigation to the main channel is tricky but can be done with some caution. I will be out and about Thursday and some of Friday, if you need any help checking other ramps please let me know.

EB thanks to taking the precaution and everyone's health and fun into consideration. I fish in all these bad weather conditions also and its not really enjoyable for most with cold temps and a high wind. Now as far as April 6, 2013 the lake should be on fire by them and with warmer temps the participation should be much improved also and give the lake time to come up and not be as dangerous for all concerned as well. One thing we do need to do is call Lakeside and let them know soon cause they were going to stock up on minnows and the breakfast stuff, so with that said they need a heads up pretty fast I would say...just my $.02 worth....Ranger

To be on the safe side I do agree with you Ranger. By April 6th the water will be higher and safer for everyone.

April 6th sure sounds good to me too, especially with all the bad weather this week. Like you said it would be more fun, and we'd have a lot more people show up for the tournament.

I promise to let eveyone know by Wednesday! That way if guys were planning to fish they can audible to another play! Sorry Im a football coach! LOL EB

I had hoped to fish this tourn, but with water levels, cold and wind it is probably going to be a little too much for my small boat. April would be a lot better for us. I know EB will keep safety in mind.

going to be cold and windy saturday. april 6 sounds good. yeah boy.:welcome

The tournament has been postponed till April 6! Due to bad weather conditions! EB

Great Move EB...Again the concerns for our fellow man and the safety of all has came into play......Ranger
