I asked Dennis this morning and he said probably $20-$25. He was mostly interested in seeing if there was even any interest in a tourney.Quote:

The water was very low and most fish were caught in 9 foot off the bottom.
The outside temp was 34 starting off and the water temp was about 50.
There were a few tight liners out there. I heard them say they caught a few.

Sounds like a good time. Little early to say for sure but I want to.
I did get out Sunday morning and had 10 keepers which I released at the ramp. I saw Brad and his son Dr pete on the water. the bite was a little slow. I did see one other boat out there a blue tracker. Was that you?
Yes sir, that was me.Quote:

CRAPPIE TOURNAMENT 12-7-14 8AM TO 2PM.. $20.00 PER PERSON ENTRY FEE (ramp fee not included). 8 FISH LIMIT , $5 BIG FISH INCLUDED $15 goes to total weight winner. paying one place for every 5 anglers up to 3 places only. Up to max. 3 anglers per boat. If you have no live well, may bring them in on ice. Live or artificial bait. Boat check before entering water. There have been a couple of men interested in fish fry after tourney. ANY VOLUNTEERS? ... This is crappie only for this event. If it goes well then we will add division for yellow perch. Only a few yellows showing up. We reserved the right to 'tweak' this 1st tourney, but want to set it stone. That is why I am hoping you all will look at this post and get back to me on any flaws I may have in starting crappie tourneys at Bobs. Thanks again for your interest . Dennis
Dennis,
Is there a minimum number of entries for this to make it happen?
No Sir.. Of course we would like to see 20 or more boats. 2 men have asked about and said they would help do a fish fry. But so far there have been no signed up
volunteers.
If another species of fish is caught does it have to be tossed back?
Well, i'm in for the tournament. Can't guarantee the fish fry though. Sunday is my normal day of fishing anyway.
You may keep your limit of crappie and any legal fish you want to keep.. If all goes well we will do these more often and include yellow perch. Expand the rules or change the rules. Just wanting to see if there is more interest than just talk.. We fisher men do like to talk.. YES ??
I'm in, I can probably find one more to ride with me.
I'm in!!!!!!!!
I will not be able to fish, BUT Can make it to weigh in and help cook and EAT some fish. I can only supply the peanut oil. But can help clean fish and afterwards help clean up the site. Any other volunteers?
