Never entered a tournament before, thought I might try this one as it's in our backyard. What fee's would we incur other than entry fee and having to join American Crappie Association? Do they gig you on anything else? Entry fee is $150 for amateur, is that for the boat, or each angler is $150?
The date is 5/2/20
150 per team 30 a person to join crappie USA, I can’t believe they are having a event on a 9.9 limit lake, should be fun I think I’ll have to give it a try
Wow that will get crowded for sure. Good for the local economy

Teamflannel have u ever thought about tournament fishing? HOI crappie club out of peoria is a club. ive fished in there tourneys for 3 years now. We fish from Bloomington down to shelbyville. Come join us next year. For crappie usa they are waving the hp limits and boat fees for that weekend to the contestants on evergreen. U will only be able to idle with big motors. Crowded is a understatement lol. Crappie fishing is all fun though.
KMA, if it works out, maybe they will let us all idle our big motors!
I am nowhere close to an expert on Evergreen. I am wondering if the crappie population can stand such pressure. I have never known the statistics for this lake. Please don't take this as a complaint as I am looking forward to the event. It just got me to thinking is all.

Maybe we could get someone to record it and put it on YouTube for us to see [emoji848]

Waive the HP limits and boat fees what a surprise maybe they will waive the pole limits and they can all spider rig with 12 rods across the bow.
That sounds like a bit much for that pond....Quote:

Didn't realize the threads were being followed. I'll keep them updated this season.
Did the club do any good on the Ill. river?
Seem to be many stunted crappie around the 8 3/4 mark. Be nice if they allowed fish like that to be placed on a separate stringer during the tournament separate from your weigh fish and have a nice crappie fry at the end of the day with all of them to help eliminate them from the lake
I’m guessing everyone here already knows, but the Crappie USA tournament for this lake was canceled.
Anyone hear why they canceled? I was really looking forward to winning that!!! Lol
I saw post on Facebook Crappie USA page. It didn't say specific reason. Just something about paperwork not done properly or maybe on time with DNR, if I remember correctly.
