Does nobody have regular weekly or monthly crappie tournaments on cumberland or green sort of like bass tournaments are held? Although i'm just learning i like fishing bass tournaments & you'd figure there would be crappie tournaments modeled after them.
(Copied from my answer to your Tournament Forum post)
No, Les ... not that I'm aware of. Now, there are "tournament trail" organizations that have them on different lakes in the state, such as Crappie USA and the KY Crappie Trail.
Kentucky crappie trail use to have one on green not sure if they still do they do have them on taylorsville you can check them out on Facebook

I saw where somebody said they quit on green & taylorsville because of insurance etc. That is only at state park ramps & not corps of engineeres ramps. I asked & they said they didn't require anything & to go for it. They pulled that crap on cumberland bass tournaments at burnside island & they fellow that was holding them quit & turned them over to the burnside booster club which has insurance & raises money for the high school fishing team. The tournaments before this use to have a good crowd & payed a place for every 7 boats plus big fish. Now they only pay 3 places & they're alright but not as good as they were. There are plenty at corps ramps on cumberland though. I bet if somebody wanted to have crappie tournaments & they checked into it they would be fine on corps ramps.
Lake cumberland crappie club. They have a facebook page.
rangerBobj thanks. I never had a clue they had a crappie club on cumberland. Of course i don't have facebook but maybe i can find something out about them. Thanks
No clue why that happened but anyway i can't seem to find a facebook page for a crappie club on lake cumberland either.
Usually what happens is you click the Quick Reply button and nothing happens for a few seconds, so you click it again ... and the post comes out twice. May not be the only reason, but I think it's the way it happens most often. :donoQuote:

Pappy thanks. I've tried finding a page & still haven't. I've got their phone numbers now though. :ThumbsUp
What I copied/pasted is all there is on their entire Facebook page. No pics, no tourney results, no discussions, nothing.Quote:

KCT no longer has tournaments on Green but they still have them on Barren, Rough River, Nolin and Taylorsville. Go to the Kentucky Crappie Trail Facebook page for info.

Rick just wondering as far & green & taylorsville were they holding them out of state parks?
don't know about Green, but T-ville usually runs out of possum ridge state park
That’s why they were told they had to have insurance etc. it’s on the state parks & not a requirement for corps of engineers ramps. I was told that by the corps of engineers.Quote:

Nothing good about that tournament for Dale hollow nothing!Quote:

I think the problem was that the fish were so deep (30-50fow) they got the bends from being pulled out of those depths and were not treated ("fizzed") before being put in the livewells. Friend of mine said he fizzed his fish, and if the bladder was sticking out of the fish's mouth they survived ... but if not, they didn't make it. He had 18-20lbs in the two day tourney & only finished in the 30 somethings place. That tells me they were weighing in dead fish (IMHO). The really bad PR part of it all was the dead fish floating and several 120qt coolers full of dead fish. Still don't know what happened to all those dead fish.Quote:
