Crappie Camp Reports Welcome Here.
Jerry and Darryl are still fishing, so I'll open the thread for reports and pics of 2006 Fall Crappie Camp. (If you weren't there, you can also post your excuses!). LOL
I'm sure several reports will follow, but I'm betting everyone will be asking for the hushpuppie receipe!!
I'll try to upload a few pics as well.

I'm a little rusty at posting pics, so hopefully these will work!

Back home from a great weekend with friends. Thought we'd freeze our tails off friday night but made it through. Didn't do so good on the fish part, ended with 2 baitfish in the bucket, bass to some people. Major traffic jam about the white river on I-40 had us moving at a snails crawl.
Great weekend
Beautiful park
Great friends
Good food
Great fishing
Ready for another one
See yall soon
At least you didn't get "skunked", if you know what I mean!Quote:

A few more pics
Got there at 5:30 Friday afternoon, and went on a nightstalk with Gooch. It was a nice night, but the fish didn't think so. We picked up 2 small crappie just before dark. Caught a couple of bass the next morning and both of us had to get back home before the football game. I sure hate it that I missed the feast last night. Just know that I was there in spirit. Met some good folks and saw some ol' friends. Had a great time. BTW...I think there is a weather curse on crappie camp.:D
Beautiful lake Greeson. It sure is a nice lake, but the brushpiles that me and Gooch remembered where too shallow.

Here's a link to some pics of the Fall Crappie Camp. Wished everyone who wanted to be there could have. We had a great time and couldn't have spent a moment with better folk!!! -- http://www.familyfishingtrips.com/Cr...mpFall2006.htm
Thank you, thank you to everyone who took pics and have posted them. If it's okay I want to pirate some of them for my website for posterity sake. Please let me know otherwise.
Pirate away matey! (Avast, grog and all those other pirate words) LOL

Well I had a blast at crappie camp in the breif time I was allowed to attend. Thank you so much Jerry and Darryl for organizing and setting up such a wonderful event like this. I had been looking forward to this for quite some time and my only dissapointment was I didnt have more time to spend on the water and visiting with other crappie.comers. I almost want to apologize to those I didnt get to visit with that were there but I was running low on sleep and trying to maximize my time on the water.
For those that did not get to attend either of the crappie camps I encourage you to come in the spring. The red buds will be blooming, the turkeys will be gobling and the crappie will be biting. I can already hear Jerry yelling "fish on blue"
Weather curse or not, there was no curse on the fellowship or the hushpuppies!!
Had a great time! Looking forward to next year!!!!!!!!
I bet you did have a great time catching that walleye that I should have caught and eating the hushpuppys I should have eaten.Quote:

Take care
Gooch
That walleye was meant for me and me only!! You find your own! The nightstalk sounds great. Just tell us when to be there!
SORRY I didnt make it..No excuse....Just no time...But if you guys have one in April, I'm there.....
Yes, we will host another Spring Crappie Camp at Kirby Landing on Lake Greeson April 14-18, 2007. Start making your plans now. It should be a big one. Jerry has already been contacted by Steve "Wildman" Wilson about it for two days of media coverage focusing on the crappie camp and the AGFC Fish Habitat Barge.Quote:

Can't wait! Can we get some more hushpuppies? Maybe by then I will have my GPS installed in my boat by then. The power cable came in today! Guess I'm get started on that now.
Yall did a great job on CC. Just wished we all could have been there at the same time.
A big THANK YOU to those that were able to make it to Fall Crappie Camp. It was great to visit with some old friends and make some new friends. I hope everyone picked up one or two useful tips and had a good time. I really appreciate all the good food everyone brought. I'll work on getting that Hushpuppy recipe from Carlos - may have to sweet-talk his sister.
Jerry,
Just tell her you need the receipe for Darryl. She knows he's going hungry. Poor boy's about to wither away!

He got to see you don't have to be drunk and stupid to have a good time and associate with people. Now he is addicted to the thump!! He experienced his first one this weekend. Jerry, Darryl...I can't thank you enough for putting this on. And, thanks to all for being a fine example to Adam.

I was glad to get to meet you and Diet Dr Pepper (Adam). Just wish my wife had not filled my schedule with so much crap so we could have visited more.Quote:

Gooch
We need to spend some time together. But, I am going to have to pay for last week end. For some reason, we can take the Durango to the shop except for the problem it has now. All of a sudden we are on an economy kick and I am the only one who can fix it....NEXT WEEKEND!!!!Quote:

DP
I agree....Even though I didnt make it, Thanks Jerry, Darryl for taking the time and effort to do this...
Hey DrPepper, have you heard of anyone being able to get back into the pond at Gold Creek? I just wondered if this rain might have picked up the water level a bit. I heard they still have the gates open so it may have just gone in and run right back out.....
Hey all, I made it back to choctaw. Glad my old cousin Darryl talked me into coming down to CC. looking forward to the next one for sure.great folks, good food,and they made me feel like part of the family even if they did rib me about my green carp and my mother-in-law fish. you all take care and I'll see you in april.
David
I have heard they are bent and determined to give folks the oportunity to get square with their docks and boathouses so they will get permitted. And they will keep to the original schedule. So I don't think they have closed the gates just yet. I went riding around Wilamena Cove subdivision about a month ago. I miss that hole so much that I almost jumped in. I hiked down to the mouth and there just ain't no way my boat is going to make it back there. A small boat could be drug across some of the spots I saw though. I think I will keep my eyes open for one of those one man pontoon buggies for the next time they do this to me.Quote:

I learned a lot and have more confidence in my crappie fishing. Orin's hushpuppies were great and I finally got to eat some walleye. Saturday night was a gormet delight with all the special side dishes prepared by the campers!! I am looking forward to Spring Crappie Camp if I can get the weekend off. We have to find our own coverage on the weekends, and it can be almost impossible to get off.:cool:
Larry it was a pleasure fishing with you. You said you wanted the pics I took of you. Here's the link to the webpage -- http://www.familyfishingtrips.com/Cr...mpFall2006.htm All you have to do is right-click the pics you want and save them to your computer. Stay in touch.Quote:

First time I ever saw where an extended warrantee might have been worth a hoot. What really chaps my hiney is that I was on the way to the parts house to get the pieces I need to get the wife happy with the Durango. I thought I might work on it during the evening so I might have a shot at getting on the river Saturday.
I ain't going to make it now.
