Pro Series rods feature premium IM8 graphite blanks for an ideal blend of weight, sensitivity and performance.

I sure cudda used a net man today.... One of the biggest fishing days I can remember.... Was catching em from the time got there til the time I left.... Even landed a 13+ as I was pulling in the poles..... My thumb is raw from releasing fish.... Don't have a count cause my clicker broke a few days back. Not fortunate to win anything but I had a full house....two 14 and three 13 for weigh in...

There is one in particular, I would like to suggest a "caption" contest of sorts...no prize, just show your creativity. I'll start w/2...c'mon Howard is this really the shortest way back to the slabfest? 2- Seriously, Howard, all new members are required an initiation gesture. C'mon Skeet, let's here one...

Big thanks Micah for weigh-in, raffle, donation jar, & helping out so many launching...John for tabulating weights...All who brought desserts...& last the donations that will be recycled into future events in some form. Harney's been very good to me over the years, but the bign's never visited my boat today, although today was so much more than fishing for me, started with the crescent moon that appeared to be smiling at us to start the morning, can't remember one horizontal like that (pic below) ....seeing old friends & meeting new members...so many thankful acts of kindness, Get This the "Head Goober" with new member Howard taking a boater's call in distress, leaving the event for awhile to tow him in (up-to-specks):highfive....YES, Slab takes care of his members....Many goober points "G", "D" & "BB", you'd be proud of the big fella, seamed everybody had a good story to tell & finally congrat's to the winners (pic below), meant a lot your comment about enjoying event Tim/TNT, knowing you've hosted so many bigger events. Yep, another one in the books, see ya's at the next one....

First of all, the only picture I took was of the beautiful Lake Harney sunrise this morning. I spent some time taking some videos of todays action but it's just taking too long to load up on youtube, so I'll try and get at least one of those posted after I get home.
Thanks to 65Pontiac for letting me bum a ride with him today and for his hospitality for letting me camp out at his place for a few nights. Russ is a great guy and an even better friend and fisherman. I enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting new ones today.
The fishing was great for us. We got so busy catching fish that we forgot, or didn't have time to, click the counter. I'm guessing we caught around 45-50 fish. It started out slow but around 9:30, it was ON!!! We left 'em biting!!! After getting 5 pretty good fish we were throwing back 1.25lbs and some better fish than that. We ended up culling our 4 out of 5 of our original weigh in fish.
Jeff did a great job of putting this event together and I'm glad I finally seen the hat Flycaster has been drawing names out of :Rofl As always, I had a blast being around the best group of Crappie.com people I have ever been associated with. You guys need to pat yourselves on the back for maintaining a great group of folks and putting on great events. I look forward to the next event that I can come back to...If Speckanator will allow us Northerners to attend:yikes
Hats off to everyone that contributed.
Thx again for everyone's hospitality!!!

Inexpensive ride to dock, NO GAS consumption, no wear and tear on the trolling batteries.
Glad that you made it back safe and sound.

I know from experience, that it is great to have friends at the dock. I had to call 65pontiac (Russ) once on Lake Dora, weak batteries, trolling and main cranking. THANKS AGAIN Russ.

That's one way to bump up the fuel mileage.

It seems everyone had a really good time, and caught lots of fish. I do have to agree with the many comments on the group of folks that I rub elbows with at any CDC event here in FL. I have been welcomed into the group with open arms, even after they got to know me!! Great job Jeff, looks like you did it right again. ATTABOY!!!!

Thanks for everything Jeff, Dave and I had a good time. The bite started out slow but ended with a flurry of action, I think we caught 25 in the last half hour. Never found the big fish but a still a good time. Good turnout was good to see everyone. Now it's time to hang up the trolling gear and get jigging.

Thats funny, I had my holders off and long poles broke down for storage before we left the lot yesterday. Time to hit the river, ICW and jetty's. Ordered material to make 3 sets of new shrimp lights. lots of good stuff going on now.

So glad they're safe...those are rescue chairs from the dumpster....I keep them in my truck for just such occasions. I was about to call the FBI and report them missing...I thought for sure they would be in somebody's living room in Georgia by now. Anyway, fishing sounds great....looks like it gonna be windy til Friday...I'll get back with ya

That was the quietest, most professional, net and catching job I ever seen. No pushing, no screaming, no extra lines! lol. Have to say, ain't that quiet on my boat when we land a big one like that.
