Kansas Crappie Club's Spring Camp, Hosted by Acorns Resort Kansas, May 20th-22nd

Kansas Crappie Club's Spring Camp will be held at Milford Lake this year, and will coincide with our Fundraiser Tournament for Heroes on the Water/ KS Chapter. Although participation in the Tournament is encouraged, it is NOT required.
The campground we will be using is Farnum Creek Public Use Area, it's adjacent to Acorns Resort Kansas, and Acorns Resort Kansas was kind enough to Host the Events for us again this year, however there are several other options available for lodging, Acorns Resort still has a few Cabins and Lodge Rooms open, Flagstop Rv park is just down the road, as well as several hotels near I-70.

2016 Tournament Schedule - Kansas Crappie Club


:fish Looking forward to meeting everyone,...Hope to see You guys there !

What Joe left off is we have the pavilion overlooking the lake for the get together and fish fry. Covered with lots of tables and room to cook. He has secured plates and such for the feed. The goal is to keep it simple and enjoy the company. Saturday entry into big fish is $10. Every one is invited to attend weather you are fishing or not. Come out and out a face with the names of the post you follow. Accorn resorts has a few rooms remaining if camping isn't your thing but hurry and tell them you ate part of Kansas crappie club for your discount. Usually open seats available to fish just post you looking for one here and watch the response. Looking forward to see you all again ior for the first time. Hopefully the fishing will be better then last time it was here it the fish fry might be a little more vegetarian come one come all

I have a seat open for anyone that wants it.

Waited til I moved away from Milford , I see:)

Cmon Man,..You know you miss it....Gonna go out on a limb and guess that you were a 19 Delta....?

Well come on back scout. Always room for you and your daughters

Count me in and I will have one more with me. Pulling the camper and boat out so it should be a good time!!!

Anyone have their campsites booked for the Farnum Creek area yet? I am trying to get some reserved and trying to get close to where everyone else will be at.

I'll be reserving mine this weekend,...will post it up as soon as I get it

I know we are getting a spot over in the Farnum Creek grounds just not sure what loop yet...if we get one reserved today or tomorrow I will post it up.

Got our spots reserved in the Farnum Creek Camp ground. I believe my uncle said it is A20 is where we are at.

When I was Stationed at Ft Riley with the Army,...I used to sit on the sunken bridge in the back of Farnum Creek at night,...I would hang my 3 propane Lanterns off the railings and fish jigs tipped with minnows,....it was some of the fasted paced bites I've ever experienced in Kansas. By the time you pull one rod in with a nice Slab and look up,...your other 2 rods would be bent over with a fish. The lights gather all of the scattered fish right to you. I went through 6 Dz minnows in 4 hours one night,...Kid you not. I'll be hitting it up Sunday Eve,....any and all are welcome to join me,...I have 3 lanterns already,...just grab you some minnows and a camp chair to sit in. Here are some pics from a few night trips of mine while Stationed there in the Army with 5-4 Cav. Milford has some amazing Crappie fishing,....just with the Ultra Clear Water it has at times,...they can be a real challenge, but well worth the chase.

The picture with the dog in it, the crappie look like the spawn was on, and they appear ready to explode. Healthy and very fat! Nice.

Milford has some quality fish,...can be a pain at times though..But they fall for the lanterns every time,....during the Spawn...that is a great place to sit for a while a few nights. After I break my camp down on Sunday after the Crappie Camp on May 22,...Ill be over there that Night for a while. its a blast and very fast paced.
