Thanks Rod for putting on the tournament again this year. As he stated, it is a whole lot about fellowship. All of us that have fished Rod's tournaments have developed friends with the other participants and we look forward to seeing each other again this year. If you haven't fished one of his tournaments, come on out and you will see it is quite a family atmosphere. You'll also see some guys that can put some big fish on the scales. I've never come close to winning, but I have had a chance to watch and learn from guys that do bring in big fish.

Well said JL; it is about interacting with our fellowCrappie fisherpersons and learning different techniques/tactics.
I plan toparticipate in some of the events for the first time this year.

Catch fish and have fun.

Me neither , but this sounds like fun. It's not to serious of an event,

It's a fun event and the opportunity to be a much better fisherman. I've learned a lot from some of the best crappie fishermen in NC and made a number of new friends as well. I've never won a tournament or even come close; in fact, I have even been skunked some times, but I enjoy spending a day on the lake and hanging out with a great bunch of folks. Here are a few pictures from last year.

Guys I left one Tourny Date off list April 12 at Jordan Lake . So add it to your list.

Mr. Rod King Has a Big Heart to Consistently Hold these tournaments YEAR after YEAR... I Know He puts in alot of his Time Setting up these Events Unconditionally...The Comrodery is second to none! ..I always try to make it to as many as I can...One of the most rewarding things that happened just last season was to hear about the News of Rod catchin his personal best Crappie of well over 4 LBS....Thats the Biggest Crappie I've ever seen & to know the person who caught it ,made it really COOL.......The pictures were Awesome & Maybe we'll be blessed with seein at least a 3 LBER at the SCALES this year at one of these Events.....If you've never fished in one of these tournaments..YOU NEED TO make the effort,as you will never meet a better bunch of guys to share your fishin day with....Hope to see you ALL on the lake !

Gonna try to make a few this year.

Hello....so i was wondering if any of you guys or gals need a boat mate for one of these trips....i am willing to split gas and what not!!

Thinking of selling my boat and buying some waders. ;)

There are guys that from time to time need a partner. One of our guys, Dwight, was fishing alone last February and accidentally slipped and fell into the water. Thank goodness he had a remote control trolling motor that was able to get himself to shallow water and then he got help from land. He ended up going to the hospital as his body temperature had dropped quite a bit. He was fine after he got his body warmed up, but it makes you think twice about fishing alone on those cold February and early March days.

that's why I don't like to fish by myself nonono

Hey...I fish alone alot....I 'd be happy to have a partner share the experience....Bob 919-810-6483...I hunt alone too...Just the way I'm built...But it's funny...I find myself "HIGH FIVING MYSELF" sometimes when I catch a 2lber...lol

Looking good for the first tournament this Saturday. Lake level is back down to normal, temperature is to reach 55 and winds under 10. It will be nice to get out on the water after a brutally cold week.

What about the boat ramp. Is it gonna be clear

Rod...Have you been down to the RAMPS...Are they clear...Is tounament still on for SAT.??...Im not sure they De-ICED them

The Farrington ramps face south, so hopefully they will be okay and the parking lot as well. The temp's are to hit 50 tomorrow and most of the snow should melt. It would be nice if someone that lives near the ramps can make sure it is okay. Saturday looks good if we can get the boats in the water. Does anyone know if Chainsaw is going to fish with us? He lives in Pittsboro and not that far from Farrington.

Hey all you Crappie Masters ! I hope ya'll survived the Cold and Snow this week! Yes the Tourny is still on. I will be taking entries down by the Main Ramp at Farrington at 5:30 am this Saturday Feb 1st and I will check Ramps at Farrington tomorrow Afternoon. if there is a problem I will let you know! See ya there. Come on out and Chase The Bigeyecrappieman !

Everyone bring a bag of kitty litter and we should be good to go

Great idea!!

Bump to the top. Tomorrow morning is the day.

I'm ready. Tahoe is loaded and ready to roll.

yay Dennis!

I might try to fish the one at Falls. Never fished a tournament before but it sounds fun.

You'll enjoy it. It's a good chance to make new friends and hopefully catch some fish.

Looks like the tournament this Saturday will be a repeat of two weeks ago. Snow/rain/cold during the middle of the week and nice on Saturday.

JL

Sure looks that way!!!
