I'm in, Smitty you on the ball. Good work buddy.

Should be a great weekend. The park is mailing me the forms and all is a done deal.
Promoting Crappie fishing is what I try to do.

This will be the first time I have fished with water in the lake. I only go there in winter.

I am in. Let me know what I can do to help

Want to be clear,
You DO NOT have to fish in tournament to attend. If you want to just show up for the fellowship you are welcome and wanted.

Gonna try my best to be there it`s only ahour and a half from my house on the Tennessee river.:cheers2

I can't edit but Brian Cooper can't speak to us on finding and fishing brushpiles. Sorry.

Hey Smitty, I might be able to attend myself. Thats not far from where I just bought a boat. Will be sure and bring plenty of R.A.G. Fly jigs.

Rusty you can just get on 280 by your house and turn in when you see the Wind Creek Park sign.

Smitty I have a double vat cooker I can bring.

Bama that will do the Hotdogs and chili Friday night and the fish and fries Saturday. I have 2 single jet burners. One can do the cheese grits Saturday and frying Saturday if needed.

Doug Bateman Cullman city council is coming. Bet you can catch a ride with him.

CrappieDan > we are glad to have you.
When I was small my granpa smoked piciyune cigarettes. They were.strong. LMBO to me anyway. Then he told my mama..

Talked to three locals that may be attending.

Good chance I will show. Not too far from me and being a newbie it would be nice to get out and meet and learn from some of the veteran crappie fisherman.

We are going to end tourney at wind creek on the same date as crappie camp to give everybody a chance to fish . That should guarantee a good turn out for camp.

Due to Slamasters in Georgia holding a tournament on that date the speakers can't make it.
Lee does end mean cancel? A fruitjar is scaring people away? No one has to fish it. Never been to one without some type of competition.

That will be our last date on circuit. Hoping that will put more people there at camp.

Ok I miss understood. Ill do the tightline seminar. Phillip should still come but the other guys have to fish lake Oconee that date. Ill try to get us a long liner.. Earl is just the best I know and explains it so even I can figure it out

You set dates yet..lol

Attachment 183698 Dates set ready to fish.

Dates are set , Karl will be at Alabama camp this year........April 9-11 at wind creek state park in Alex city, Alabama. There will be fishing , Crappienutz tournament Saturday . And a full afternoon of eating what we catch Saturday afternoon. Please mark your calendar to attend!!!

Guys, I am new here and probably one of the worst Crappie fishermen out there but I have about talked myself into coming up for the weekend to see if I can learn something. Is there anything going on the 9th or is it just a day of fishing on your own. Spring is about the only time I can catch a few.

Myself and one other will be at camp, let us know what yall want us to bring.
