Making the Final Push Towards the"CACA Anglers of the year Award"

Making the final push for Central Arkansas Crappie Assoiations Anglers of the Year Award. My self and Greg have cast-ed ultra light rigs to the deep winter brush patterns of Lake Maumelle, vertical jigged the cypress trees of Lake Conway, long-lined through the timber filled depths and pitched brushy banks of Greer's Ferry, spider rigged the channels and brush piles of Dardanelle, Overcup, and soon to be Lake Nimrod added to this list. We have protected our lead in the points race all season against some really good fisherman and now take a 8 pound/point lead into the final regular Tourney of the season held at Lake Nimrod next month. We have faced all kinds of weather conditions, we have made good choices and some bad choices, but with the good lords help we have been able to be one of the most consistent and versatile teams in Arkansas. We may not beat ya... but don't mess up because I promise ya more times than not we will be right on your tail. If your a Consistent and Versatile fisherman... You have a chance to win and catch crappie on any body of water no matter where they swim.

Guys next month is the final tourney for the CACA this season at Lake Nimrod. The CACA is a great state tourney trail and needs your support. I know there are some really good fisherman on here, so come on out next month and fish with us. Its only 60 dollars per boat. I am asking all our Ar Crappie.com family to show up and fish with us and lets make the last CACA tourney A great one to be remembered.

I know you can reach down in those pockets and come on out and have a great AR Crappie.com/CACA tourney together. I'll bet you all spent twice the money at crappie camp so this should be a walk in the park. Come out and fish with us next month at Lake Nimrod and show your support. If you can't fish then show up for the weigh ins and have some fellowship with other fisherman.

Last but not least..."Dont be skeered...we won't beat ya too badly", and who know's you just might be able to say "Hey"? We beat the "CACA Angler's of the Year winners". :biggrin

HAHA!!! Now If all my braggin dont make ya mad enuff to come out and fish with us, I dont know what else to say. Lets' have a Great Tourney and Good Luck to all who come and fish with us. See 'ya at Lake Nimrod next Month.

Man that's a good way to bring in participants. Thanks PRO.

Thank you Dustin and Jason...You guys are running a great trail I feel will only grow. Keep up the great work. I know we have allot of great fisherman in the Arkansas Crappie.com Fam and I want to see them get off their duff's and come fish a crappie tourney with us. I hate to see wasted talent.

Thanks for the good post. I will try and fish my first tournament at Nimrod.

When and if yall would expand to some other lakes besides the ones that yall can fish every day it would grow, there is a lot of fishermen all over the state that would like to fish some tournaments but like I said the only places yall want to fish is in yall backyard! !!! Sounds like someone up there is scared! !!!

Sounds like everybody had a chance to come to our meeting in fall and vote on lakes also. I would know what I was talking about before I started talking on a public site. And it's CENTRAL ARKANSAS CRAPPIE ASSOCIATION

Well give us some input what lakes you would like to see us come to. Not in MS tho... this is Arkansas. I see many Central AR teams come down and fish those MS lakes Tourneys every year. I can Name the teams for ya... if you like. (Don't see many SEA teams coming up here to fish with us). Seems like they all rather fish MS lakes than fish their own state's trail. I have made several trips Down there to fish your waters in Tourneys. Our lakes are spread out and I am sure we could bring one down closer to your area next year as long as it is in ARkansas. Isn't it about time you-all return the favor. We ain't skeered.

If we were scared would we be coming down around a lot of y'all's lakes fishing crappie masters!!!! Sorry most of us don't have the money or the time to travel all over the state every month for a tourney and have a place set up for register and weigh in but like was said if you want to come to the meeting and nominate a lake and find an area for the other stuff we will be more than happy to come fish against y'all !!!!

Yep lots of us central AR guys come down that way. It's about time they return the favor. I dont want to get into this where your lake is or where my lake is, but the fact is the lakes we fish are spread out and not in our back yards and I bet they are not much of a further drive than those MS lakes for most of the teams in Arkansas. I would still travel to fish a Lake in SEA or where ever if it was in Arkansas. Also the fact is most of AR better lakes are in the Central west central part of the state. Pick your poison in Ark and Me and Greg will come fish it.

Congrats guys y'all have been consistent all year. The lake choices are great as is.

My money is on Russ and Gregg! Them boys ain't scared of nothing!

Nimrod is a two hour drive from my house. I pass at least three lakes that I can consistently catch slab Crappie to get there. Its a dink hole for the most part, and I have zero chance of prefishing to find decent fish. I fish these tourneys for fun, not to jackpot on a lake that I know inside and out. Granted, some do that, but most are in it for the fun of it. This last tourney was on 4 different bodies of water, but most everybody ended up on Overcup. That wasnt because everyone fishes it every day. It was because they did their homework and figured out that the big bite was there. The people that did well worked for it and it payed off. If they can do it there, they can do it anywhere. Not all of us can afford to drive 3-4 hours to fish a tourney, thus CENTRAL ARKANSAS Crappie Association was born. If you can afford to make that drive, then come on down and make the donation like the rest of us. If not, then fish your local tourneys and afford us the luxury of being able to fish ours.

Yall got a good thing going. Don't worry bout no bunch of "HOOPLA". I hope the CACA continues to grow and wish ya'll the best of luck keeping it goin. I enjoy the post from the tourneys and have been keeping up with it. Good luck to all that fishes it and keep us posted

I had heard that when it was brought up to fish one of the regular followers of the caca tournaments that lives in Blytheville (east Arkansas) lakes it was turned down. This is hear say but can you clarify for folks. I am glad you guys are having a good time and would like to see it grow. Having folks from the south show up to the meetings right now would be fruitless when there is no support for a fella that has fished with you since inception.

Distance to lakes from LR

Nimrod 72 miles
Conway 25 miles
Brewer 51 miles
Atkins lake 72 miles
Overcup lake 54 miles
Greers ferry 79 miles
Maumelle lake 22 miles
Dardenelle lake 117 miles

Horshoe lake east ark 129 miles
Greeson lake 104 miles
Chicot lake 131 miles
Pine bluff harbor 48 miles

My question is in the future since the caca has a tournament 119 miles from little rock, is there plans to venture other directions that far or a little more and to other lakes?

What lake is gonna compete with Dardanelle on everyone catching good sacks of fish? It is prob the best tourney we have every year as far as everyone catching good fish. Like we said if y'all don't like it come to a meeting and put in your vote on what y'all want to do! This is only our 2nd year and we had 3 new lakes on it this year so I think we are working on what the people that are in the club are wanting to do and as far as y'all that gripe and don't like it I haven't ever seen y'all at any of our meetings tryin to put ideas in for us it's easy to gripe when u don't have time or work tied up in it!!

Once again I wish I didn't work on Saturdays. I could give y'all some more money.

congrats to you on a well earned lead

Well ABH you wouldn't know cause you have not showed up to a meeting. And you are a rumor spreader talking about stuff you have no idea about.

Russ and Greg , congrats to you guys on your lead in this years tournaments. You guys fish hard and do your homework and it pays off. Good luck to you guys on the July tournament.

As far as the lakes, I will speak up since I am the only regular from Blytheville that fishes. Yes I have been asked if there was a lake up here where we could hold a tournament that would have a place to hold a weigh in and yes I recommended a lake. I wasn't able to attend the meeting due to the ice and snow on the roads up here and it didn't get voted in. I am at the moment trying to secure not one but three sites for potential tournaments on the eastern side of the state so that I may present them at the next meeting for consideration on our tournament schedule. If they get voted in then so be it. I also have some other ideas that I hope will help the Central Arkansas Crappie Association.

This crappie club is what we need here in Arkansas. The club does promote family and fishing. The meetings, pre-tournament dinners, the tournaments and the weigh-ins have been rewarding in more ways than one for me. I have met some fine people and I have made some friends that will be life long friends just by driving to fish a tournament. I have traveled to waters that otherwise I would not have explored. I'm learning new techniques and I'm learning how far behind I am in the electronic world as I fish by trial/error and instinct as I don't even have side imaging, gps or some of the other equipment these guys have. I have not won a tournament. I did win 2nd big fish last year at Overcup and won a whopping $16. I am not in this to get rich with money. I am in it to fish with like minded people, to fish some new waters, to hopefully share some knowledge and to make some friends. With all of that accomplished, I am a winner and I have won!!

As far as driving distance, do some calculations from Blytheville to any one of the lakes we fish. 3 hours is the least time I drive, that's one way. Then add in any pre-fishing and I spend a lot of time on the road, and worth every minute of it. Will I continue to fish, yes I will. Dardanelle for me on average is 4 hours and 15 minutes. That's okay as I have found a lake I really like and I will continue to fish it when I can tournament or not. I understand that not everyone can fish every tournament. I hope all that can, will come out and fish or at least attend the weigh ins and enjoy the fellowship. You might be surprised what you might learn at the weigh-ins.

Why am I posting all of this? I think we all need to support what we have. Would I like to have a tournament at one of the lakes over here? I definetely would. Not because I think I can "spank" everyone, but I would like to show everyone else the waters I fish. I believe Russ said in an earlier post that anyone can win, well, that is true. I'll take luck any day and if you happen to do a little homework and it pays off, then you just might come out on top! A little bragging rights never hurt anyone. My day is coming. I will win one of the tournaments and I'll bet it's not on one of my favorite lakes on the east side of the state. The CACA is a rising club and it needs support!! If you choose not to support it, then that is your choice. I for one will stand for it and will be at as many tournaments as possible.

I know that many have put in many hours and resources to make this club and the tournaments a reality and I thank you for it. I'll say it here so all can see. I am willing to help in whatever manner I possibly can to help the club and the tournaments continue. If the club chooses to have a tournament in my "neck of the woods", I'll host it and will make whatever arrangements need to be made in order to make it happen. That's all I can do is offer. Barring bad weather again, I'll make the 3 hour trek to Little Rock to the meeting and put in my 2 cents about what I think. That's not a bad thing as it will most likely be on a Saturday and I'll bring the wife with me and we will have a nice day together and a great dinner. Who knows, we might even make a night of it in our state capital.

I'm trying my best to get where I can fish Nimrod in July with you guys, but no promises. I got a lot going on. I hope to see all of you there. I'd like to see one of our biggest tournaments in July!

So Dustin, let me clarify by saying what I heard was hearsay and formally asking for a response and by stating facts on mileage I am a complainer. Come on dude for real. To make a meeting kent you the man as that's a Long drive for a meeting. As I have said hope ya do well!! Just not my cup of tea to drive those distances for the those lakes. As far a big sacks of fish other lakes that are almost the same distance can offer those same big sacks of fish. If I am gonna drive 2 hours to Dardenelle I would rather drive somewhere east of my house. Just my preference. Rumor spreader, well I go to the source for the info before stating information. We can just agree to disagree. If you don't want public opinions or suggestions then don't talk about it on the forum. There is a crappie tournament forum and the CACA has a sticky already on the arkansas page. Sorry to see you think I complain by posing questions and stating observations.

One last complaint. Put all the lakes in a hat, draw out the number of lakes for the tourney year and put the remainder on the next years schedule. Not all members will be able to show up at the meetings. If 30 people from south, east and west Arkansas showed up and voted on entirely different lakes than you guys have fished would you fish them?

Also another complaint. Maybe host a one pole tournament for folks. This would accommodate people who don't have spider set ups or long line setups etc.

Since I complain about everything just let me know if you need more complaints to help your drive to expand the club, be family friendly, and fellowship.

I love to follow these tournaments and see these great fishermen at work. Carol and I would love to fish some, not that we could compete, but for the camaraderie and the chance of learning something new. I'm sure that any new tournament trail is going to have some growing pains and I know with the group of guys that are involved, they will always strive to make things better and encourage more competition. What we did learn at the only tournament that I've ever fished is that even though it is a tournament, it is still fishing. While some will prefish and have them patterned, it is possible for a person who has never been to a lake until tournament day can catch good fish and end up in the money no matter who is fishing. I encourage all to jump on board and support this great group of guys and what they are trying to accomplish. Given time and support, we could see it grow to much more than what anyone could imagine.

Really you all! This is for fun! No one is going to win a Boat or a boat load of money in this tourney series. If someone wants to step up and make this an Arkansas Crappie Tourney Trail and lead the process, I am sure that all of us that fish the CAPA will participate, but I do not see this happing.

Brett please watch language no cursing . I removed the inappropriate wording (abh).

Have fun, that is why I fish!

Come on guys we don't need to argue or complain what the club is doing!!!

As the club President of the Central Arkansas Crappie Association I have put endless hours into getting this thing set up and I have asked for help in the past to expand the club through out the state but have had two offers for help one from a Arkcrappie (Blytheville) and LRJoe (Springdale) and I have plans of getting something set up with these guys as they have offered to host the tournaments and get everything set up so we can fish, this club does not pay me a thing and gas and motels are expensive for me to go to a lake I have never been to and try and set up a whole tournament! There is more then just showing up!!! With that said last year we put a tourney on in east Arkansas and had 3 new teams show up and only one of those teams fished again in a CACA tournament?? so should we go to areas where I might be the only one there the day of the tournament I know of small tournaments where this has happened? We need to build up a club where we get the support and make it large enough to start growing throughout but as I said we are planning to venture out with the help of others and we do have other plans for different kinds of tournaments but dang this is our second season Rome wasn't built in a day!! So you can chose to help or not????? Life is all about choices!!

On another note I have seen talk about weekday fishing tournaments, free tournaments, and even a wounded warriors fishing trip. Was this all talk? Because it sure sounded good but no one downed any one when it didn't happen?? I think its crappy when someone talks about something then Doesn't follow through??

I'm not sure why ABh and Meatgetter are complaining about going to the lakes we fish when I have seen them on these same lakes fishing on a weekday?? Makes no sense to me please explain?? I am just curious what the difference is??
When we voted on the lakes we based the vote from actually members that joined the club heck we have members that joined but yet have fished a tournament and they still support the club because it is the only legally established Crappie fishing club in the state and they wanted to help make the club grow!! We not only have tournaments we all have met for dinner and we had a fish fry at lake Conway for members, guests, and family where we had 80 people on hand.
So like I said before life has choices make yours.

Thanks for all you do Jason. I think CACA is a great thing.

Good luck at Nimrod Guys. Hope to get to fish with you next season.

I will help support any way I can

Just wanted give y'all update. I talked with Jason Westerberg this morning and asked him if having a CACA Sub forum would help and have then asked slab to make a sub forum for the CACA so that you and members can post information and communicate with each other on it like the magnolia club and miss fruit jar has on the miss forum. Hope this will help ya out if slab approves it!!

Jason I am not complaining about the lakes yall fish, I know they are good crappie lakes! ! You have done a great job of getting club up and running what I am.saying is there is other.fishermen from.around the state that I believe would get more involved if there was some tournaments with closer driving distance like you said.it gets expensive quick but to be competitive you have to spend time on the water as You are aware .I have talked to several and that's the main issues is the distance to travel every tournament and some say if You can't go to pre fish that they could not be competitive . All we are saying is to share the expense with some tournament in other areas. !!!! I will be glad to help if yall decide on any of our lakes in S E Ar.

My tourney season was like caca. :)

We have faced all kinds of weather conditions, we have made good choices and some bad choices, but with the good lords help we have been able to be one of the most consistent and versatile teams in Arkansas. We may not beat ya... but don't mess up because I promise ya more times than not we will be right on your tail. If your a Consistent and Versatile fisherman... You have a chance to win and catch crappie on any body of water no matter where they swim.

Guys next month is the final tourney for the CACA this season at Lake Nimrod. The CACA is a great state tourney trail and needs your support. I know there are some really good fisherman on here, so come on out next month and fish with us. Its only 60 dollars per boat. I am asking all our Ar Crappie.com family to show up and fish with us and lets make the last CACA tourney A great one to be remembered.

I know you can reach down in those pockets and come on out and have a great AR Crappie.com/CACA tourney together. I'll bet you all spent twice the money at crappie camp so this should be a walk in the park. Come out and fish with us next month at Lake Nimrod and show your support. If you can't fish then show up for the weigh ins and have some fellowship with other fisherman.

Last but not least..."Dont be skeered...we won't beat ya too badly", and who know's you just might be able to say "Hey"? We beat the "CACA Angler's of the Year winners". :biggrin

HAHA!!! Now If all my braggin dont make ya mad enuff to come out and fish with us, I dont know what else to say. Lets' have a Great Tourney and Good Luck to all who come and fish with us. See 'ya at Lake Nimrod next Month.

Isn't there a required $40 membership fee, also?

Not for your first tourney.

Guys my intention was to get as many of you all together and come fish a Tourney with us... as friends and members of the Arkansas Board and CACA. If you have not fished with us before and you only fish one tourney you do not pay a 40 dollar membership fee and only pay a 60 dollar entry fee. This is our last Tourney of the Season...I would like to see you all, share a crappie story, make a new friend, shake your hand, tell ya good job if you do well... or if you do poorly. I am just asking if you can make it come out and show up and fish with us...one time. I am not asking for you all to commit to a whole season just one tourney on a lake that most all of us have knocked "Their Lights Out On" at one time or another. If you can come fish with us we would love to have you either as a competitor or a spectator. Maybe we could even put some burger and dogs on the grill for folks who show up at this one. Ark Crappie, JW, and Meatgetter I would love to come to one of your local lakes also next year. Lastly we will always understand if you cant make it. Come on out and fish with us guys...I would love to see us come together and fish the final tourney together. Hope to see ya there.

I plan to make this my first ever tournament. I am new to the entire crappie fishing world but love a challenge. I would not expect much but like to meet new people and learn as I go.

I will be working the Saturday of the tournament but would love to come over and pre fish the weekend before.

T-ball is over for the summer and Chris is going to let me fish with him. We will see y'all out there!

Assign a tourney coordinator for both halves of the state. split the state in half using I40. then have a shootout between best teams/anglers from north and south. problem solved :)
