Any of ya'll remember this - crappie camp 2008

I recently found this link:

Fall Crappie Camp 2008

Click on it and check it out, it's just a slide show of a trip I made down there with Tomtom to an AR camp, seeing Darryl Morris, Jerry Blake and "Catfish" Sutton. Boy that seems so long ago.

That was the year before I found crappie.com. I enjoyed the slide show. Thanks.

We need a roll call of who is still around here.

i missed that 1

That's great ...... thanks for sharing

Doesn't seem to work on my phone.

Scrapper, Boatbuilder, and I were there for that camp. I learned a ton about crappie fishing from Jerry Blake that weekend.

A year before my time. Looks like y'all had a good time though! I hate to admit it but I didn't recognize any of the folks except you! Thanks for the post, Ed.

I missed that one. My first one was the 2006 Fall camp. Jerry and Darryl really worked their hineys off to make sure we had a good time. I still get Christmas emails from both of them. I miss their posts on here. they are the ones that started the whole Crappie Camp thing in Arkansas. DP

x2.

Prolly ain't gonna work on your phone. It's a slide show made in flash. It definitely won't work if you have an iphone.

For a few years Jim Erickson, Jerry, Darryl and myself constructed several hundred bamboo condos, laydowns, and any other structure that we could think of to hold fish into Lake Greeson. We would all meet at the cracker box about 5 AM ride out together to greeson have breakfast cut and gather bamboo to build several condos eat lunch then fish the rest of the day. The next day we would repeat the process but we would build the condos and a few days latter we would sink the condos. What a deal work a little fish a lot with 2 great guides. They called Jim, Owen and myself the Crew. Things seemed simpler back then.

It is un-believable how many condos are in Greeson because of this crew. I hope someone is still maintaining them. I think Greeson is the great fishery it is because of Jerry's efforts. DP

That WAS a few years ago! :) Lake Greeson is still producing great numbers of good-size crappie. I'm taking a little break from guiding right now but Kevin is still keeping the Bamboo Crappie Condo program going. If anyone is interested in a Fall Crappie Camp this year lets pick some dates and start planning.
